I didn't start out with a spectacular movie. Many people think you don't have to go from nothing to the top; they think you start at the top.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I came from the theater playing leading roles, and when I started doing film and television, I felt as if I had to start from the bottom.
When I was growing up, I loved the films where you'd start them and the score might sound really odd at first and really different, and then by the time you finish, you can't imagine it being any other way.
When you don't come from a film background, getting the right debut is important and difficult, as you don't have the sensibility to know what will work and what won't.
Well, I think just the fact that you are making your first film is a huge step.
I was clear about the fact that my first film should be 'big,' since it's the start of your whole career graph.
How you start the movie is critical. And how often you feel that there's no reason for how it's starting.
If you're sitting in the audience, you probably can't see the preparation and work that goes into creating a great scene or a great part, but I can assure you that a good film depends on lot of different things falling perfectly into place.
My belief is that if you start a film all the way up at level 10, you've got nowhere to go.
I've produced a couple of films and really enjoyed starting it from the very beginning and seeing it all the way through to the end; that was very gratifying.
Every time I start a film I feel like I'm starting the first time, ever.
