I have a special attachment to 'Bitter Sweet' and feel grateful because it introduced me to people in the film industry overseas and helped me experience Hollywood.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Three or four years ago, I got really caught up in the movies people were making, the opportunities they were getting, and I was looking at them with bitterness.
I feel that the industry can be sliced into two categories - grateful actors and non-grateful actors. I'm always so appreciative that this has happened for me - and against all odds - as a middle child from Canada. I'm very grateful.
I kind of thought I would only work exclusively in the world of naturalistic comedy drama, but there is this side of me that also loves Hollywood, and I wanted to see what that felt like.
I live in a constant state of gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation for the second chance I was given, so anytime in any film, when that is given to someone, I always appreciate it.
Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.
Filmmaking as a process, it's bittersweet.
After I got to Hollywood, I resented that I didn't get a crack at more dramatic roles because I photographed so beautifully.
I wish to be appreciated not only as a film star but also for the person I am. If I manage to bring a smile on people's faces, then I think I'll be successful.
I've been fortunate, but I'm also not very precious about making sure I'm the star of a film.
I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life.
