My whole career is based on taking a left turn after each film and doing the opposite of what I've just done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Well, I just think through your career you go through different phases, and I just got sort of uninspired by the whole studio process of making and releasing films.
I went to film school at Columbia and did that for a couple years, and really thought I was going to be a filmmaker, and then I kind of drifted over to the acting side after that.
What I do on film is part of my profession.
I always start a film thinking I know how to do it, then I learn all over again.
I have been a director who has starred, participated on both sides of the filmmaking process.
I've had a lazy career. Sometimes one film a year, sometimes none. I'm walking around in the street and doing this other thing, living, that I'm much more interested in. I just do some acting on the side.
Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.
Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I'm one person and by the time I finish I'm another.
I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
I never really planned a career. I've tried to avoid it. I've tried to do this stuff I felt for, the stuff I like. So, I've just been meeting these fantastic directors who've offered me a variation of different parts and different films.
