By the time I started doing TV and film, I was in my forties, so I wasn't going to do the young up-and-comer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't go to the cinema a lot when I was young.
I did important films when I was very young.
One of the reasons I didn't really want to do TV earlier in my career was because it is so life-consuming, and I wanted to spend time with my kids and be a mother.
I grew up watching films. Film has been part of my life since I was a child.
I got so much out of 'The To-Do List.' This is a joke that I say about myself sometimes, in terms of my film career: I feel like I'm always playing the kid in serious adult movies. So, for me, it was so wonderful to suddenly be working with other people my age who were doing this on film.
I'm part of that generation that grew up watching TV, and being an actor was all about being on TV or being in films.
I was about 26 or 27 and it was imperative that I make a living right away and it's hard to make a living on stage, so I started in television and film.
By the time I was 21, I knew what I wanted to do, and that was to direct films.
I started watching actual movies when I was pretty young.
I got into television, and I'm a television guy, so I've never really had a movie career.
