I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most of the films I've done haven't done particularly well. I'm surprised I'm continuing to work.
I have been a little lucky to get work. I know there are people who struggle a lot to get a film; I believe a lot in destiny. Things have fallen into place for me.
I love making films more than anything, but it's tough.
One of the biggest challenges in my job is letting go of the movie once you go home at night, and knowing you can't do anything to your performance once you've laid it on film.
No one prepared me for the stress and insanity of a week leading up to a movie. Years and years of work come down to three days.
A film set is a workplace for me; it's my office, and nobody really wants to be in a stressful work environment.
When I go to where I was getting excellent parts in movies I may have taken a few too soon, too anxious to go back to work and to anxious to make another film and to succeed more.
There was a point of frustration, where I thought I should just take a film, even though I didn't want to. I was impatient with being at home. But I hung on to the approach I've always had, which is to wait for a project that I could contribute something unique to.
Making movies is really hard. It's the hardest thing I've ever done.
In truth, making films doesn't feel like hard work because I always have such a good time doing it.
