I like L.A., but I think what's changed is that the kinds of films I do, the mid-range dramatic film, has become an endangered species.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
L.A.'s become so cosmopolitan in its casting and also in its world view.
I'd rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films.
L.A. is so focused on TV and film that theater is kind of an arcane sport. People look at you like you're doing something cute.
I'm a working actor so I never really pick a film because of a genre, and I don't really turn them down because of genre. Anything that's unlike the picture I just finished is always more interesting.
In the past, if you did film, you couldn't do stage, and if you did film, you certainly didn't do television. You had to pick what you wanted to be. Now it seems like we can bounce around, not only between genres, but between mediums, and I like that. I like change and I like a good story.
I like the variety. But basically my choice of films is a small intimate film. Quiet film, no action, just people in relationships. That's what I like the most.
I have a preference for film just because of the familiarity. It's what I know, and I sort of have nostalgia for it.
I love good film, whether it's an independent or studio film. The independent films, I think the good ones aren't necessarily eccentric ones but they're the more specific ones.
Always changing genres, making very different films is a good idea. It's a way of making yourself feel vulnerable again, getting back to that innocence. As is working within a circumspect budget.
I prefer film and that's what I think I'm gonna put my focus on.
