The best times I had on film sets were the times the director let me express myself, but those were rare.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first film as an actor was 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High,' a glorious experience that spoiled me for future films.
Growing up, I spent a lot of time on film sets all over the world.
I used to rarely go on film sets, as I felt it was very boring to see the same shot being done so many times. I felt I had nothing to do. I used to irritate the cameramen.
Most of the films that I've ever really responded to are ones that I feel were really involved in their times.
When I did that first movie, it was the introduction to all the set-up time and the waiting time that's endemic in motion pictures, and the repetition.
The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.
I've done many different movies in many different contexts.
I've always shot on film, but the times are changing.
I haven't done as many films as I would have liked.
Writing and directing your own film, for me, has been the best experience of my life.
