See, 'A Time to Kill' was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
I am so picky about what films I get myself into because it's such an explosion of energy and commitment once you get in there, you destroy your life until you deliver these films. I never want to be in the position of making films that won't be a great use of 90 minutes of someone's life.
I came to the industry with wide eyes and an open heart thinking I was going to make a few films that really meant something that I could pour myself into.
I always wanted to make movies.
I did important films when I was very young.
I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.
Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.
I've done a lot of films that have become iconic, not necessarily because of me.
My first film as an actor was 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High,' a glorious experience that spoiled me for future films.
I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn't care what kind of movies I made.
