I don't feel isolated on a film set. In a way you do because you don't really mix with the outside world; you're just sort of working non-stop for a few months, but you've got so many people around you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I work with directors who haven't had the experience of being on sets as much as I have. I feel like, in a way, if it's an independent movie, I can teach the crew to kind of relax, or create a vibe. It really is about a vibe.
Film sets are a strange place, but an exciting place. I do love my work; I really enjoy going to work. But if you just spend all your time on film sets or even on stage, you can become a Michael Jackson figure, living in your own little universe.
A film set is a workplace for me; it's my office, and nobody really wants to be in a stressful work environment.
I'm in a position where I'm being continually knocked back for the kind of independent films I want to be in because people don't know who I am.
I love doing independent films, but it's very hard to make a living that way.
It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.
A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people.
I can't comment on any outside perception. I'm happy to come out and talk about movies that I've worked on in a setting like this. Otherwise, I have my own life that I live which is very different and private.
In my career as an actress, I have never got involved with anybody from the world of films. I have always kept my professional and personal life separate, as that's my policy.
Working in film tends to isolate actors - it's your close-up; it's all about you.
