You do small movies because the script is good and because you believe in the director. You don't care about the money. And when they disappear, it's a pity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.
It seems that the small movies are a little more risky and cutting-edge. You've got your big commerce and you've got your small films that you're more passionate about.
A film can be big or small - I have to just fall in love with it. To connect with the character, the script, and the director. Sometimes they say to you, 'You should do that for your career; it's a big thing, people will go and see it,' but I wouldn't be able to, because my heart wouldn't be in it. I would drive people quite mad.
Sometimes you do a film because the script is amazing, sometimes you do it because you get to work with amazing people, and sometimes you do a film because they pay you money.
That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot.
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.
Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.
The one benefit of having done all kinds of movies as an actor is, you learn the pros and cons of being tempted to do a really big movie because it costs a lot of money.
It doesn't matter how big or small your film is: you still don't have enough money. You don't have enough time to shoot it.
I know it's good when I see a smaller film get recognized because it means more publicity for them. When you start producing and directing the movies become a little more like your children.
