I only made two studio movies, that was a long time ago and obviously I removed myself. I think some of that is geographical. I live in New York and I want to work there, it's as simple as that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I live in New York City, the stories of my films take place in New York; I'm a New York filmmaker.
I've always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.
I'm a European, and I live there. I work in European films, and then once in a while, I make an American movie.
I'm trying to work in studio movies, but they won't hire me.
I love doing independent films, but it's very hard to make a living that way.
You have to want to be in the company of those you're making films about.
I always wanted to have a career that would keep me at home in New York so I can work in the theater all the time and be involved in the creative process from the ground up.
I want to make films and write films, which will happen, I'm just taking a different route right now. I'm a bit of a chameleon with the whole entertainment industry so to speak.
I can't get hired in a studio movie. Everything is so uphill.
I want to make movies, TV series, wherever the career takes me.
