I've been doing this for 33 years, and sometimes you make movies and nobody cares. But when people care, it's the greatest thing in the world - even when it's passionately against the title - because it's going to start a conversation.
From D. B. Sweeney
The great thing for me about 'The Resurrection of Gavin Stone' is it's a throwback to the old fashioned Hollywood movie that you can watch with your family, has a message, and is funny and entertaining. They didn't call them faith-based movies; they just called them good movies.
'It's a Wonderful Life' was a mainstream Hollywood movie about faith, redemption, religion, and it was rated G.
I have never been one of those actors who say, 'Oh, my character wouldn't do this,' or 'My character never wears an orange shirt,' or any of the number of inane things I've heard on movie sets throughout my career.
What I've learned is sometimes it's good not to have all the same actions and have all the same takes. The variety you provide gives the director later on in post-production the ability to construct a more interesting performance as he puts the movie together.
I'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.
I'm a sucker for doing something fun. If somebody wants to pay me to learn how to fly a plane or be a better golfer, that certainly would be a plus - or if it's filming in Tahiti.
Who needs MGM? Who needs any of these places?
Why should a filmmaker turn over the irreplaceable asset, the movie, to a distribution center?
All these big corporations like Amazon, those places have great distribution arms, but they can't create content.
