I'm trying to work in studio movies, but they won't hire me.

At this point, I don't get hired a lot because people don't think I could finance a movie.

You have to want to be in the company of those you're making films about.

I don't know what I'm qualified to do, film-wise... So it's really down to a director or a casting director to find something that they think I could do.

I've always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.

I don't get jobs in films by auditioning. I'm not blonde. You can't place me in movies the way you can with certain actors. It's very difficult for my agents.

One thing I know is that I don't want to be a director for hire, making genre films.

If you decide you want to work in the film industry, you just have to bite the bullet and take other jobs until the proper jobs come in.

Waiting to be hired, as an actor, especially, is soul-destroying... There is always something you can do... Create something, a play reading... Anything. But don't rely on other people to come to you. Put yourself out there.

Film's hard when you don't have any relationship with the director at all and you just show up. Then you really are just a gun for hire.
