Sometimes I think I should have stayed longer and I should have done more films.
To make a documentary is one thing, to make a feature film is quite another.
I get emotionally attached with every film I do, and that stops me from being critical. I can't fight my emotions.
When I got cast in 'Rocky IV,' I had never seen a film camera before. And here I was in this boxing movie.
In France, I have lots of opportunities. Maybe now I'll be offered films in America. It's the encounter, with the director and the story that counts.
I'm not so sure I 'like' to watch myself on film, but I do find it necessary in order to continually be a better artist.
I'm telling you, every film I've ever made has been hated by the U.K. critics.
Normally with film, it's normal for the screenwriter to never be seen again after finishing until the premiere.
I get quite fed up being on a film set day after day, six days a week. It can get to be a grind.
You know, honestly, acting in film is remarkably independent. You're doing your thing and someone else is doing their thing.
Well I grew up in the Midwest, and I think the first film that blew my mind was 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.'
My first film, 'Vanishing on 7th Street,' I really just kinda went in for it. Just gave it my all at the auditions.
For my first week as a new boy at Radley College, back in the summer of 1979, I was followed around by a film crew.
Hong Kong film audiences are very quiet. It's their culture.
Film is not a woman's medium. If you weren't the hottest kid in town, men stayed away from you.
When you get into a film, it is one story and one set development of a character, and you are able to delve into one character for a short period of time and discover everything about them.
With theater, depending on the audience, the show is different every night and really requires your constant concentration. With film, it's more possible to focus for shorter, more intense bits of time.
When you are on assignment, film is the least expensive thing in a very practical sense. Your time, the person's time, turns out to be the most valuable thing.
I have a hard time watching films and not thinking how I would play any part, whether it's a man or a woman.
I was very friendly with Jimi Hendrix because my boyfriend at the time, Tommy Weber, was making a film about him, so I would go to all of his shows.
When you shoot a film, you have very little time to waste, and I try to go into the character as soon as possible and stay there as much as I can.
