The only reason why you should do a film is because it creatively carbonates you and gets you going. If you're doing it for any other reason, you've lost sight of why you're acting in the first place.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
Whenever you do a film for the wrong reasons, it may or it may not pan out. Sometimes people do it because it is a good move or the right move. I don't know; maybe one day I will do a film for the wrong reasons, and it will work for me.
When you work so hard on making a film, it's all worthwhile when you get to experience seeing that film with an audience who thoroughly enjoy it and react to the movie.
I can do a film only if it excites me as an actor.
There's a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film. I have done it. It's not my favorite way to work.
Film-making is not liberating. It drains a lot out of you, and it's fulfilling only temporarily. It's a very thankless thing at times. When you're spending all that time on a film, you don't want 40,000 people to see it - it's just not enough. You dream of more.
It's easier to go from theatre to film than the other way round. In film you're absolutely loved and cossetted and cared for. In film your director makes your performance. In theatre you're carrying it all.
There's no point in making films unless you intend to show us something special, otherwise just go out and watch a play.
The most important thing when you do a movie is that you find an audience that really understands what you want to do and is really supportive of it.
When you come to do the film, it is not the time to wonder why you do it. It's just how to do it.
