It's funny, though, with films, because you can incorporate a variety of elements, and sometimes that can work for you and sometimes I think it can work against you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The kinds of films that I'm used to doing are independent films. They're very small character-driven pieces, and there isn't as much spectacle involved.
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.
I haven't done many films. But with every movie, I try to showcase a different side of me through a character.
Film has the potential of allowing me to explore my own ideas, which I find very attractive.
The bad things about theatre get balanced by the good things in film and vice versa. So to tell you the truth, I love it when I can go back and forth - it feeds different parts of you and exercises different muscles.
Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.
I've very critical of myself, and film has been an adjustment for me.
A film is sort of binary - it either works or it doesn't work. It has nothing to do with how good a job you do. If you bring it up to an adequate level where the audience goes with the movie, then it works, that is all.
Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.
At the end of the day, it is about working in a good film. It's the films that you leave behind that matter.
