The dramas that I worked on were successful, but not the movies. I still have many opportunities, and I will not be discouraged.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I emerged from drama school, I had no expectation that I would ever work in film.
I've made 30 movies and for the most part my movies work. In a business where success is an exception and not the rule, I've mostly been successful.
I don't read anything about my movies before or after I do films, or any part of show business. I think that keeps me in a kind of place where I can do the work that I need to do.
When I was new, I didn't know where my career will go. Initially, my films were not even successful, but then I learned a lot from my mistakes.
The problem with movies is you are over-rewarded for the work you do. It's hard to give up, and I got used to a certain lifestyle.
Most of the films I've done haven't done particularly well. I'm surprised I'm continuing to work.
But I have had the luxury of working on good films with great people.
I had to work out where I was going, what type of films I wanted to make. For that reason, I decided to choose independent productions, less important roles, and I tried theater, too.
Now that I've established myself in a drama, I'm plugging away, trying to get the attention of people who do the independent movies and the features.
I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people - incredible.
