I find the most interesting and most daring scripts tend to be for independent films.

I'm looking for little movies that are good instead of picking scripts in pursuit of superstardom.

The problem with independent films is that they can be hit or miss. I've seen scripts that have blown me away. But there have to be all the right ingredients in place to make them work: the director, cast, publicity, distribution.

I like independent movies, documentaries. There's not a lot of movies that are commercially made that I dig.

I'm not prejudiced about what type of movies I'm in, what form they take or whether they're studio or independent. I just want to make films that are going to be good.

I don't get that many scripts. Back in Australia, I've pretty much done my own shows and really no work outside of that. It's only now that I'm starting to read some Hollywood film scripts, and I've read some really great ones.

Scripts don't get movies made.

I would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.

I have enjoyed writing my own stuff, and it's been a privilege to be able to scrap some money together to be able to make films from my own scripts.
