In terms of my own film experience, I'm definitely used to morose and very heavy, heavy dramas.
Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
That's why I like fast film. It gives you more freedom to light more naturally.
I believe there are more films that involve love and forgiveness than violence, but they often seem fake and are almost embarrassing to watch.
When I was filming 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' in America, for a couple of weeks beforehand we would always fit in a family holiday in California.
I have three kids and a wife, and any moments that aren't dedicated to working on this film in some way, or family, are immediately reserved for sleep.
Most of the musical film work that I have done has been in this realm of what I think of as real family entertainment.
My family don't watch a lot of what I do. Films are a bit too arty-farty for them, certainly the ones I do!
A British director directed 'American Beauty,' an important film about American life, and it didn't matter. What only mattered was everyone's sensibility.
Initially, I got into the business to do drama. I never really thought I would be doing sci-fi films.
Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.
I'm not in the advertising business, but I think it would be very nice if people went to see the film Hamlet, because it was made with love and integrity.
The journey for women, no matter what venue it is - politics, business, film - it's, it's a long journey.
I never thought I'd make any money at all doing this business. Film was never even on the cards.
The cool thing is that, unlike film, the theatre roles for women get better and better as you get older.
I wouldn't mind doing my own film on the big screen. That'd be cool.
Suspense films are often based on communication problems, and that affects all of the plot points. It almost gives it kind of a fable feeling.
Being a good television screenwriter requires an understanding of the way film accelerates the communication of words.
I think Kurosawa was one of the first storytelling geniuses who began to change the narrative structure of films.
Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg are men at the top of their game, and Jackson especially is going to change the nature of film-making.
I was never really a child actor. I was working sporadically in indie films in Pennsylvania, but I was still living at home.
