I'm meant to be an animation director. That world, and the culture of stop-motion, is where I want to live. It's more my problem than Hollywood's. I'm not attuned to Hollywood.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up right near Hollywood, and I wanted to be a filmmaker.
Part of me wants nothing to do with any Hollywood. But another part of me wants to go there. I feel like I could be successful at it.
I want to stay below the radar and make good films. I have to be careful; I don't want my life to change. I really don't want to be a movie star.
I don't want to say, 'I want to be in Hollywood,' like so many actors do, but I know that Hollywood is still making good movies, and I'd like to be part of that someday.
I got into this business because I like acting and I want to make movies. I would be happy living the rest of my life never famous.
As an actor, of course, you want to be in something that's successful.
Whether it's acting, directing or writing, I want to be involved in the film industry for the rest of my life.
I'm in Hollywood - I have no business not being in the movie industry.
I respect the system out there in Hollywood, I really do, but I'm very intent on art versus commerce. I want to do it all - film, TV and theatre - if it's the right job.
I'm not trying to conquer Hollywood. I love my day job.
