You start making movies and people start seeing when you go to places, and all of a sudden you are getting clothes for free and all of a sudden you are getting food for free.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You never know what you're getting into like some of the best experiences I've ever had have been movies that literally had a million dollar budget and everybody's eating Cheetos all day and running around without permits and trying not to get caught.
I get invited to premieres, and I've been to a few fashion shows and stuff, but I always get really bored. I feel quite awkward. You have to wear something by them, and it all feels like, 'Why am I doing free advertising for you?'
Why spend money on movies when you can spend it on gas? Or dry cleaning? Or groceries?
When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.
You see movie stars advertising all sorts of things today for whatever reason. And it may be that it affords them the luxury to do smaller movies or to go and do a play. Because, otherwise, you have to keep doing movies where you get paid millions and millions of dollars to maintain a certain lifestyle.
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to a job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.
When you make a movie independently, you raise the money beforehand, and then you make the movie kind of by yourself.
Clothes are expensive. You have to buy them, and to buy them, you have to believe in them.
When you do a film, you get picked up in a car, lunch is free. Theatre is really hard, and you get absolutely no money.
I never have any clothes to go out in, because I always just buy for work. I don't know why. Habit.
