I mean, the trouble with some of the kind of relationship movies I've done, is there's only so many ways you can shoot a conversation. I was really tired of talking heads.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like going to the movies with people that talk a lot. They want to have a conversation or something.
Relationship movies are often made for a female audience.
I mean, I've been in a hundred and fifty films; I don't want to just sit around and talk about things.
I'm in the process of working out an arrangement to make some very, very, very small films in the midst of all these films and maybe that will help. But you get tired of talking. You just want to do it.
I'm shy by nature and don't like talking about myself, and would let my films do the talking.
Sometimes you don't want to get married too much to a lot of rehearsing, I feel, when it comes to film, because there's so many technicalities. So if I'm in my head, I've gotten settled on something, I'm gonna have to change it if I get there and something was set that's completely different.
Movies are in a much longer production conversation before an actor is even involved. I always thought of actors as the last piece of the puzzle - so you're a tool.
Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously, productively, and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works, it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work, it's almost just as fascinating.
But I've found that to talk too much about movies is the kiss of death. If it happens then it happens, is all.
There's something so great when you're watching a movie when you slowly get to know somebody more, because it's like a real relationship.
