Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual.

Even in the big movies, if the scenes are very big, I'm not fond of them as much as I'm fond of small actor scenes.

When I'm making a big movie, I miss and appreciate all the subtleties that come with making a smaller film that is more intimate, more personal.

I love doing short films because they're much more intimate and there's far less waiting around than on the bigger films.

I think it's important to do smaller films because I think that's where a lot of new things are happening.

I like the fact you can spend two hours setting up a scene that will only last a couple of seconds. And I like just sitting around and dozing between scenes!

I prefer the smaller acting than big histrionics. It's about reacting and looks, which is often underestimated.

I love having 30 shots of every scene.

Having grown up around the theater, I've been moved by so many plays. Being a part of it, however small, is special.

The biggest difference for me is momentum. On a smaller film you get to shoot sometimes four or five scenes a day and you've got to do the tight schedule. I think I really feel the luxuries of a big budget film.
