Americans just don't know what being a movie star's all about.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films.
It's like everybody is obsessed with Hollywood movies worldwide. And even though everybody hates the Americans, they're still watching American movies.
The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Actors tie themselves in knots trying to get out of that.
The sad truth for American actors is that they really have no control whatsoever over the material that they get, or can do, particularly actresses. And if you're over 40 and you're an actress, forget it.
I'm less comfortable making American movies because I don't know them so well.
I'm not a movie star. I'm just an actress.
I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.
There's nothing more American than movies.
We're the country of movie stars because the stars, like ourselves, represent a kind of extended infantilism, beauties waiting for the big chance.
I'm used to American actors who have a movie career thinking television acting is beneath them.
