I'm not yet fortunate enough to take only the scripts that capture my fancy, but each one has to be a new experience, to put me in a light that audiences haven't necessarily seen me before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I get a script, it's the only time that I get to be an audience member with the first-time experience of that movie. That's the first and only time.
For me, my first hearing of the script matters. It has to excite me as an actor and as an audience.
The first thing that attracts me to any script is the writing. If I find myself becoming lost in a good yarn, then I feel certain that others will, too.
If you have a movie coming out, and people are talking about you, the amount of scripts will build.
At this point, I'm happy to be part of something special. As an actor I liked to choose scripts that I'm passionate about.
And I'm auditioning right now for a movie, and then I have a script that I'm reading right now for a horror film, and I'm meeting for a couple of television shows that I just had yesterday, and pretty much was offered one of them.
I'd just love to have an audience and it's the most fun in the world to get a new script every week and have the audience come in, and work with those actors.
For me, each film, each script is like a little journey in itself, and I'm reinventing the wheel. It's like, 'How do I make this film?' That's part of the pleasure, and that's why I'm not a normal professional director.
Any film I do needs to excite me at a script level.
I feel very blessed in my career to have been able to bounce back and forth between different things, television and film, comedies and some dramas, but I am, um, as long as the script inspires me and there good people, that's it. I'm in.
