It's easier in some ways being on the life raft and the other guy's in the boat and you can row alongside and be supportive. In some ways, that's an easier role.

Whether it be in a small movie or a big movie, I would always be attracted to this role.

One of the things that's hardest as an actor is you are being critiqued constantly, and having your mother critiquing you can be challenging.

I think that certainly my choices empower me.

Hollywood movies are run on fear and they don't want to make bold choices. They, generally, speaking want to keep things status quo. That's not really interesting for me.
