I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.
Being in quite a few movies... there's always things that are changing about a film.
Well, every movie is an experiment. And the only way you can grow at what you're doing is to take chances. You can't try to stick with what worked last time.
Now, I don't know whether a film can change the world, but I know that it starts - I know the power of it - I know that it starts people thinking about how to change the world.
We all do films believing in them completely, but sometimes, the audiences like what we like, and other times, they don't.
It's rare that movies can sort of capture the tone of life; movies always feel like they have to be one thing or another.
It's always fun to agree to be in a movie when you have no idea what it's actually going to be!
I always think that I'm not going to be right for a movie or that there's someone else who can do it better.
I think that people who make films and think they're changing the world are sorely mistaken. If that really is your goal, there are far better ways to do it. I'm making politically observant films for audiences.
I think every movie changes me and is life changing, especially movies you direct.
