I think people assume I only do light things because of the movies that are like 'Hairspray' and 'John Tucker Must Die.' But I think it's all just based on material that I really like and that speaks to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's just interesting that people don't really know about the roles that I play that are darker. I kind of do a huge blend of really big light things but also really dark indie things, and it just sort of happens to work out that way.
I don't like doing movies that are meaningless or unrealistic. I like things with a lot of reality to them. I'm a pretty serious kind of person myself. Things affect me.
With every movie, I try to do something different, whether it's action, comedy or drama.
I normally stay away from horror films; I tend to do light and happy roles.
I'm certainly not who people think I am. I always do whatever I want to do, and my films are personal to me.
I try to only read light things when I'm working on my books, and in the evenings I watch a lot of mindless TV. I have to break up the 'dark,' or I wouldn't be a very happy person.
The only reason why I tend to pass on a movie is either I don't think I'm right for the material and can't play it honestly, or because of time constraints with personal things in my life.
I only make movies that are interesting to me.
I think there's certain things that I know in my head that I enjoy: action movies.
I don't think there's much point in putting me a deep, dark, heavy, emotional film because there are people who do it so much better than I do.
