My own personal taste in films as a member of the audience was not completely in line with films I was doing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think early in my career, I didn't choose films that were crappy films, necessarily, but I didn't go out and campaign for smaller, better roles.
With every film, I try and give the audiences a little more than the previous film in terms of comedy, action, drama and so on.
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.
I didn't really get involved too heavily with being an actual film person.
I was never interested in film. Never. I never even thought of it. I wasn't even a film buff, I didn't see many films ever.
I was slightly disheartened when three of my films didn't work at the box-office. But the silver lining is that people did appreciate my work in those films. Had my performance gone unnoticed, I would've been in big trouble then.
You look back on films sometimes and if they have not been as all-out successful as you anticipated you try to find reasons why maybe it didn't come off for audiences as well as you would have liked.
I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think.
Most of the films that I've ever really responded to are ones that I feel were really involved in their times.
I actually think I have an audience member's sensibility about going to the movies.
