I've been lucky enough to do a few films that will last longer than an opening weekend and those films are the ones I'm proud of.

Which is why I felt I was truly blessed this year, with leads in two nice films, and also the luxury of being able to do a studio film and an independent afterwards was fantastic.

The frustrating part of it is that you're generally known for what you did last. I've had the privilege of doing some very cool independent films that, a lot of the time, the general public doesn't see unless you're at a film festival or you're into that kind of movie.

I feel that I've been very fortunate in the films that I have gotten and that I've chosen to do.

I had four films one year that were supposed to happen and didn't.

I have been very fortunate, working a lot in TV, and have been able to dip into the film world a little bit here and there.

My first film out of the gate was financially so successful that I guess, being in Hollywood, you get kind of put into a certain box.

I don't know what to expect out of my films. My first two films were with extremely talented directors, and they didn't work. And my next two films were with newcomers, and they worked well. So I've stopped expecting anything from my movies.

I love festivals because I feel like I'm more of a movie fan than a person who's in the film industry.

I thought if I was lucky it would be a nice, modest-sized, modest-budgeted film that would be a modest success. And then something happened.
