I was raised in a family where cinema was a way of life. It was not only about making films, it was relationship, passion, love, everything at the same time.
My long-term plans are just to get as much experience as I can in Australia and try to make my own films.
I know we didn't make an anti-Semitic film. This is what the Gospels are. And it's none of my business what other people think of me.
We like to make the Marvel comics films because they're fun. Families can go see them together. They're entertaining. They aspire to inspire, and that is cool.
You always make a film with the hope that all types of people will want to see your work and that it doesn't matter about your color, but unfortunately it still does.
I don't feel, 'I've made a great film'; I feel I've made what I set out to make.
The highest grossing films have great, moral messages - not dirty, base themes, so we're trying to get producers to make more of the uplifting movies.
In truth, making films doesn't feel like hard work because I always have such a good time doing it.
My point was that it's hard to make good films, but I'm not under any illusion that you do all the time.
You can make a really good film for under a million dollars, like 'October Baby,' or under a half million, like 'Hardflip.'
I'm not prejudiced about what type of movies I'm in, what form they take or whether they're studio or independent. I just want to make films that are going to be good.
I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.
It makes me forget that I'm not going to be a major star and lead female in films whether it was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, five or in the future.
Every milieu has something ridiculous about it - film-making, the music world, painting - because people who take themselves seriously become funny pretty quickly.
Cinema is a territory. It exists outside of movies. It's a place I live in. It's a way of seeing things, of experiencing life. But making films, that's supposed to be a profession.
There's always difficulties and challenges in every life, I don't care how much money you make, where you live... and that's something this film speaks to.
I'll continue making films because I love being able to drop into other people's worlds. My goal is to be constantly learning.
I would love to make some kind of film about the witches and the Inquisitions. That would be really fun because I don't think their stories have been told enough.
If only every man who sees my films did not get the impression he can make love to me, I would be a lot happier.
I wanted to make my sophomore film as different as possible. I didn't want to be pigeonholed. I didn't want to be identifiable.
It does not matter what film you're making. If you're young and there's romance in the movie, it's compared to 'Twilight'.
