Now, honestly, every movie set that I go on, I walk onto set with the confidence that there is nothing that they can throw at me that's gonna surprise me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
On set is where I feel comfortable. The red carpet stuff, talking about the film, explaining your own life, it doesn't come naturally. It's all necessary stuff I suppose but it's not my strength.
The great thing about having spent all this time on film sets is that I've been able to watch directors and how they work. I now know that this is what I want to do as well: to tell stories visually. But it's definitely my vision that I want to put across, nobody else's.
Audiences don't ever disappoint me, in the sense that movies I feel really good about, they usually feel really good about too.
I work with directors who haven't had the experience of being on sets as much as I have. I feel like, in a way, if it's an independent movie, I can teach the crew to kind of relax, or create a vibe. It really is about a vibe.
Generally in my films like 'Hearts of Darkness' or 'Picture This,' I try not to make myself a presence in the film.
Any movie I've ever made, the minute you walk on the set they tell you who's the person to buy it from.
I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in.
When I go into making a movie, personally, I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me.
I always feel scared and insecure on a film set. I don't know any other way.
When I walk onto a film set, I become frightened and nervous. There's all this equipment, all these people, and most of them do things you don't know how to do. I didn't come from a film background.
