I kind of thought I would only work exclusively in the world of naturalistic comedy drama, but there is this side of me that also loves Hollywood, and I wanted to see what that felt like.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I've definitely found a niche working in comedy, but dramatic films are what brought me here. After I saw 'Titanic' in the theater, I got the bug.
I'd done a ton of movies here in Hollywood, and I realized that every movie I'd done was somebody's else's work and someone else's vision.
As an actor I've been attracted to the sort of films that I want to go and see. That tends to usually be drama-related.
I still don't consider myself as going Hollywood. I did a movie because the opportunity presented itself and it was fun. When everything stops being fun, I'll go onto something else.
After I got to Hollywood, I resented that I didn't get a crack at more dramatic roles because I photographed so beautifully.
It's good to experience Hollywood in short bursts, I guess. Little snippets. I don't think I can handle being here all the time, it's pretty nutty.
I never did love Hollywood, I just loved the work.
I enjoy working in movies that appeal to and will be seen by many people.
Hollywood can be brutal, inhuman, the opposite of what the theatre is, and I had little desire to be part of it.
I wouldn't have been interested in making a show just about Hollywood, 'cause I find Hollywood boring. I find people and families very interesting.
