I didn't find it difficult to live in the 'Inherent Vice' world or play those scenes, because they just seemed so real.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Suddenly we saw that you could do plays about real life, and people had been doing them for some time, but they weren't always getting to the audiences. They were performed in little, tiny, theatres.
Sometimes movies gloss over things, and it was important to me that this was realistic.
Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.
My point was that it's hard to make good films, but I'm not under any illusion that you do all the time.
The casting directors that were aware of 'The Real World' looked at me as a joke. It was so hard to get away from that.
It's not good just to have life experience of film-making and that's all. It's hard to play a real person when you've been in jets and town cars for three years.
I always aspire to that, where it feels like the film was made by the characters as opposed to the filmmakers. I try to be invisible.
Movies were a struggle for me - they didn't come easy.
The action-movie genre is a very difficult one to get satiated in terms of your acting bits.
It's hard to understand the films that you're in, because you never truly get to see them.
