When you're making an independent film what you don't have in time and money you have to make up with creativity and diligence.
Matthew LillardCharlie Brown's good. I always had a little crush on that Lucy. I thought she was kind of a hot little brunette.
Matthew LillardI like the fact that a modern television and modern drama on cable has characters that are really intricate and deep and have multiple layers.
Matthew LillardHow much do you have to pay someone to be in a George Clooney/Alexander Payne film? NOTHING!! Because everyone in the world wants to be a part of it. Therefore you pay nothing. And that continues until you become something they need... I'm not that kind of actor. I'm blue collar and very replaceable.
Matthew LillardI've really enjoyed the independent film world. I've had a blast. But, the reality is that I really want to make bigger movies. If I could make movies that carry great characters and great performances and great pathos, and can have an explosion or two, that would be fine with me.
Matthew LillardMy first love is acting, but the reality is that I just don't get too many opportunities to stretch, and grow, and inspire myself as an actor, certainly not in terms of where I make money. Yeah, I can go off and do a play, but the reality is as a profession, directing is exponentially more satisfying.
