I don't think I could do what Woody Allen or Clint Eastwood or Ben Stiller do, where they direct a movie and they star in it. I would just be like, 'Oh, I don't even want to look at my face.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Woody Allen would go for seven years without a movie and then make one that makes no money.
I wouldn't want to do a whole movie with effects.
Generally in my films like 'Hearts of Darkness' or 'Picture This,' I try not to make myself a presence in the film.
I would put my pictures up against anybody's in this world. Certainly in my own day I bow to no one. I don't think there's another director in the world who works harder to make better films than I do.
I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.
I came to the industry with wide eyes and an open heart thinking I was going to make a few films that really meant something that I could pour myself into.
I think it would be frustrating having to do things you wouldn't want to do, having to make movies you didn't like.
If Woody Allen called me, I'd be there straight away. Who wouldn't? Truly.
You'd see those movie stars on the screen, and say, 'I want to be that guy.'
I believe in what movies say, and I'm not an actor because I want things to be about me. I have no interest - if there was any way for my face to not be in a movie and still be an actor, I would do it.
