I have realized that I hate going to the premieres of the movies that I'm in. Because I feel this tension after the movie is over that everyone feels obligated to say something nice to you. It's so unnatural and uncomfortable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies.
I actually think I have an audience member's sensibility about going to the movies.
It's a funny thing: You want so badly for people to see what you do - you're proud of it - and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable.
I just like surprising people. I never want to get to a place where people see that I am in a movie and they go see the movie and they expect a certain performance one way or the other. That is just inherently boring to me.
I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.
Usually, I don't want to sit down and listen to the director gas on about his movie. I just can't actually imagine myself sitting down and having that much to say.
I don't like going to the movies with people that talk a lot. They want to have a conversation or something.
My favorite thing about making movies is that it's the only area of human life that I've ever discovered where I can walk away from somebody in the middle of a conversation with somebody and they won't be offended.
Audiences don't ever disappoint me, in the sense that movies I feel really good about, they usually feel really good about too.
Usually when I am in a movie that is about to come out, if people don't love it, that is fine - I can handle it.
