It's humiliating to have to explain your value.

Ultimately when I throw myself behind a movie, I have to really believe in that directors vision.

I always say, what really makes a movie commercial is that it makes its money back.

My first job, honestly, was as a proofreader. I say that a little disparagingly, but it actually was this sort of incredible thing, where I got this job proofreading for a cable television magazine.

Being on a set where the director has lost control is just sickening. No one goes the extra mile, theres a lot of eye-rolling... it just breeds inertia. If a director is in control, the crew follow their leader. But the second anyone senses the directors are not sure, people just swoop in.

I think that when you're doing an under-four-million-dollar movie, you just can't throw money at the problems.
