Whenever I did a good performance, my Dad and my uncles, who were rabid movie fans, took me to the movies. There began my underlying love affair with film.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My father and I used to watch movies all the time. That was our bonding time, so that's when I kind of fell in love with acting.
I became a director just for the love of movies, because of the power of cinema.
I've always loved movies, since I was a little kid, but I never wanted to be part of that industry. It always seemed horrifying, the way films were made.
I was raised in a family where cinema was a way of life. It was not only about making films, it was relationship, passion, love, everything at the same time.
Film for me became how I related to everything else.
When I was a young kid, my father was a big fan of Hollywood movies. He would make me watch movies with him, and he would explain the story and characters to me.
I always loved movies and the cinema; we always used to go to see films as a family.
I was fortunate because my mum shared my love of film with me, so we would go to the movies twice, three times a week, and we would watch movies at home. As a teenager, instead of going out, we would have these huge movie nights in. But I almost failed drama at school. I hated it. It was all about the history of theatre.
My own personal taste in films as a member of the audience was not completely in line with films I was doing.
I'd always loved movies. I watch them all the time; my dad is a huge movie buff.
