I didn't so much choose the film as director Claire Denis chose me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't choose to be an actress.
I always choose my movie because of a director and a story and a, a character.
When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.
I didn't choose acting. The universe did.
I knew her work very well and I knew that if she offered me a role in her movie, it wouldn't be something stupid. So I agreed to do the film before I read the script.
I regret not doing a film that I was offered with Clark Gable because the script was not good enough.
I chose films made by people I wanted to work with, about subject matter I thought was intriguing.
The reason I chose the movies that I did was based on where they were being filmed.
I like to say that I didn't choose acting - acting chose me.
They offered me that film before I did Frida and I said, no, I'm not capable of directing. Then after seeing Julie direct, I was inspired by it. She motivated me to do it, because we don't have role models as woman for directors.
