If I never do another movie, I will have had the privilege of working on one of the big Hollywood movies with top people, creating a world that can only be described as totally cinematic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd done a ton of movies here in Hollywood, and I realized that every movie I'd done was somebody's else's work and someone else's vision.
I don't make the best movies in the world, but at times, I do feel like I'm adding something to the cinematic community.
I always wanted to be part of a movie that creates a different world.
In a perfect world, I could be doing some bigger films and balance that with some independent films because they seem to be the most challenging and unique.
Films should have the capacity to bring you into another world.
As a filmmaker, I don't want to limit myself to one kind of movie.
If I'm going to do a big film, I'm very choosy about what I do, because I think I want to continue - in fact I'm sure I want to continue - to stay in the realm of independent films with directors and writers who are just emerging with new ideas and a different vision that hasn't really been expressed yet.
The frustrating part of it is that you're generally known for what you did last. I've had the privilege of doing some very cool independent films that, a lot of the time, the general public doesn't see unless you're at a film festival or you're into that kind of movie.
I haven't done as many films as I would have liked. A lot of my contemporaries have done more. I don't have 'I will be a movie star' emblazoned on anything, but I'd like do a bit more screen stuff and then when the time is right come back to theatre. When it is good, theatre takes a lot of beating both to watch and perform.
Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
