My whole game plan was to direct movies. I knew if I made a reputation in theater, I would get offers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everytime I get offered theatre I get offered a film role too.
I've only gotten directly offered two or three movies, ever. I don't have the luxury of being able to say no a lot, and I don't really have the luxury of just getting to pick and choose certain things. If I did, I probably would choose even more different roles than I've played.
There are a few directors around who I have some excitement about spending my $7 at the theatre watching their movies.
I want to direct films, ultimately. Hopefully I'll have a fantastic career in acting and then go on to do that. That's my dream; that's the ultimate goal.
My criteria for doing theater has always been slightly different than my criteria with movies, in that there are a lot of reasons to do films, having to do with location, money, and first and foremost having to do with script and role and director.
I've made a number of independent films that didn't receive theatrical distribution, that a lot of people haven't heard of, and as a result, I've conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere.
I had no idea I was going to have a career in the theater. I did not plan it.
I'm very much interested in doing actual theater.
Theater is not to make a living, so I don't have the money pressure.
I want to do more movies. I feel like it's a totally different skill set than there is to theater. It's much more internal.
