There are a lot of characters that you can get into that don't exist in the studio world.

I've learned a lot about how people have to fight through their whole lives just to be themselves.
Luckily, no one I've ever been in love with has needed me to save their life!
I don't like being treated differently.
At the end of the day, regardless of whether you're doing a huge budget film or a small budget film, you still want the film to do well, and have people see it. That's the whole point. You want to put some kind of message into your films, and you want people to see it.
