I’ve been allowed to grow over the past twenty years. I’ve managed to avoid being trapped in one moment of my career and for that, I’m very thankful.
What’s sad is that there is an addictive quality to that, to believing your own hype to allowing yourself to become validated by others and no longer by yourself. That’s the danger of celebrity.
I could almost say it is my religion. I guess that sounds pretentious, but I want to live and breathe cinema.
I’m so critical of myself. I’m actually really, really proud of the film. It’s really cool to see a movie at Sundance because everybody is so supportive.
