Anytime somebody tells me they saw 'Safety Not Guaranteed' in the theater, my answer is, 'That was you?'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Through film, I realized that was a safe place for me to play. It was a safe place for me to express myself and explore these things that I was afraid to explore in my real life.
Oh, yes, that never happened to me in my life before. It was a risky film, and I warned the producer.
We all have an escape. Mine was theater.
When you work as an actor, you've got to feel safe even in what appears to be the simplest things.
When I get onstage in a play, I feel very safe, very protected, very fulfilled.
I think you can lose yourself more easily in a film than in the theater.
Theatre is a sacred space for actors. You are responsible; you are in the driving-seat.
We take safety very, very seriously on every film I make, and that's why I've never had a serious accident or anybody killed when I make a picture.
Your crew becomes your family and you trust the director and the other actors on the set, and it's a very safe place.
I love to be scared in the safety of a movie theater. It is like a thrill ride; like a roller-coaster ride.
