So anyway, I really enjoyed the European audiences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In fact, it is amazing how much European films - Italian, French, German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years.
I'm really drawn to European films.
I love European movies and I kind of grew up on European films.
I love European films in general. If I were to go to the movie store or something, that's what I like to see.
American audiences are just the same as any other audiences. Except a bit more boring.
When I discovered European filmmakers, it affected me so deeply. It redefined what cinema could be. I mean, 'Blow-Up' ends with a dead body and mimes playing tennis. What?
European films were what it was about for me - the sensations I needed, the depth, the storytelling, the characters, the directors, and the freedom that you can't really find in American films.
I was always intrigued with European cinema, and hated most American cinema. I didn't like the one, two, three - boom! style, with a neat and tidy ending. That was never my scene.
Europe were kind of the first ones to embrace my music; the kids from around the way would come out to my shows and really enjoy it.
Why did I spend all these years playing boring Europeans? I was made for action movies.
