When you're on a set it can be very tedious and slow. It's just not as big as when you see it on film.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you're making a bigger movie, you have much bigger set pieces that require more time and more effort and more people.
What I realized is that it doesn't matter how big or small your film is. The actual filmmaking process, the actual storytelling, it's still the same thing. It's still all about creating characters that you like and creating moments that get you excited or get you tense.
Obviously, I've been on sets before but nothing as big as 'Twilight.' You forget sometimes that you're on set of one of the biggest movies ever- so when you just sit back and think about it its just so incredible. It's such a great learning experience.
Every time I play in a movie, I never expect that it'll be huge. I don't like thinking about that, because it's so scary.
Sometimes people say to you that you should try to be in a bigger film, but it's the way it pans out.
I can't say that I wouldn't prefer to make small films, basically because I think they are probably more interesting in terms of the material. But every now and again, it's quite good to do a big one.
I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.
I used to rarely go on film sets, as I felt it was very boring to see the same shot being done so many times. I felt I had nothing to do. I used to irritate the cameramen.
It's a tough transition really for theater actors to adjust to television or film, and all of these years later, I still have a tendency to play it too big.
There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well.
