In Hollywood there's no real material. They would send me stuff, but I hadn't even seen the director. If I don't see the director's eyes, I'm not going. I'm not even going to pack my bags.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As soon as you make some films that people like, you'll be sent material, and that can come from anywhere.
I'm not the Hollywood type. I'm not going to pack up my bags and let me move to Hollywood and stuff like that.
As a director, I have to feel realism from actors, and they can't be plastic.
People think, 'You're an actor, you can afford clothes,' but I just try to take the clothes from the movie, which makes the selecting of film projects that much more difficult, because you try to play characters that might wear something you'd want to wear.
I've gone out of my way to not take baggage with me from film to film.
I always say, 'If you're planning on seeing our movie, don't look at any more of the materials.'
I've never really considered packing my suitcase and heading to Hollywood.
On the last couple of movies I made - big-budget Hollywood movies - I really missed being able to create my own material.
I think films have to reach people and really grab them. That's what I hope to do when I make a film - to get under your skin and really make you think about something, and have a transporting time that takes you somewhere.
Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.
