I can't even begin to tell you how many casting couches I was attacked on. Not just by casting people, but by stars.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Obviously, I did a couple of things right on the old casting couch.
I cast unusual people in my movies.
I always wonder why people cast me in anything.
Sometimes it's all about the casting.
I could never work in that kind of commercial environment where the stars have a lot to say, where the producers kind of push you around and tell you who to cast and who not to cast. I'm just not interested in that at all.
I used Vamps as a casting couch! I pretty much did, because I was casting 'L!fe Happens' while I was on the set of Vamps, and anybody I had ever worked with, I asked to be in this movie.
I've sat in the theater for thousands and thousands of shows.
I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous.
I don't know how much of the 'casting couch' exists in the industry, as I've not seen it myself. I'm glad that I've not had to.
When it comes to casting, I've been so lucky. I've worked with unbelievable actors who make me look better than I am and take the written word and make it honest.
