As a filmmaker, you realize that places have character based on their history as much as a face does or an actor does.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think actors have a choice of drawing attention to themselves or living on the outskirts.
I guess maybe directors see a face that seems to have been lived in. I know that my face has been lived in, yeah.
It's not often as an actor you get to be involved with a project that seems to be on the right side of history.
Movies can tell us about our place, or lack of place, in our culture.
But I always see myself as the filmmaker. I wonder if everybody else sees me more as an actor.
Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.
Choosing location is integral to the film: in essence, another character.
Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.
History opens up new worlds to film-makers all the time.
There are so many things from movies that are remembered, that are just looks on people's faces or incredible vistas or beautiful pictures. That is a very important part of cinema.
