Actors in the film industry are usually wary of expressing their opinions on the issues of the day, politics especially.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that most actors don't have very good opinions of themselves.
I think people in Hollywood are afraid of sentiment because they think audiences will reject it.
Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.
When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.
Hollywood movies are run on fear and they don't want to make bold choices. They, generally, speaking want to keep things status quo. That's not really interesting for me.
Actors always have opinions.
When you make a film, you like to run it with an audience. They tell you you're narrow-minded or subjective, or that seems too long, or that doesn't work.
The films that I do tend to polarise people's views.
The movie industry is very competitive, and if you're like me and you suffer from your own insecurities about whether or not you're any good, that can be troubling.
There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.
