I've never done a movie in that genre, and I love a lot of those movies. I watched the director's [David Freyne] short film [The First Wave], which I loved. And the script was just so good. He's found this way to tell a new story.
Ellen PageI recently rewatched Stand By Me and was like, "Wow, this is so powerful because these young men are so vulnerable and so emotional, and love each other." That's a rare quality for a film.
Ellen PageI have trouble sometimes watching actors - even when they do a great job - with an accent.
Ellen PageI find a lot of people say, โOh organic and localโs expensive and I just donโt have time.โ And Iโm like, well how much TV do you watch? Where are your priorities right now? I always take the time to eat well and eat locally because itโs common sense.
Ellen PageIt's already not as easy, in the sense that interesting roles for girls and women tend to be few and far between. That's just the reality that I think most people would agree with. So that can be frustrating. I just get sent so many things that are like, "So, here's another story about a guy...." But that's just what it is. I'm kind of getting more excited about developing my own stuff, or getting involved early in projects and doing my best to make things that I care about happen.
