I cannot do a film I don't believe in, however safe it might be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think a film set is a quite controlled environment and you feel like you can trust them and it is going to be a safe place to work, but I really don't think about it.
There are certain filmmakers I'd like to work with that I don't think would take a risk with me, because I could be distracting in their film. It'll take a couple films to prove to them that it's worth the risk.
Everything's a risk, by the way, these days. Every film you make is a risk. There's no guarantee.
I've never made a film that I didn't believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I've always given everything to it. That's kind of how I approach life. I can't help it. There's no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life.
Any time you die in a film, it's not real, so it's all kind of fun.
You make a film you feel is as real as possible and hope people react as though it were real.
A movie is like a person. Either you trust it or you don't.
I think, if you can, it's OK to put something in a movie because it makes you feel good.
There's one thing now that I experience every day when I'm making a film. I get up and think to myself, 'Am I going to be able to do it today?' I figure as long as I have that fear, I'll be alright.
You can't be trying to make a film that pleases all people, you know, so it's not a concern of mine.
