I Said To Ramona [my Daughter] Once

Mainstream Hollywood Makes A Few Good Movies A Year. And In Order To Be In One Of Those, You Have To Be One Of Five People. Hollywood Makes Many Bad Movies Too, Which I'm Not Interested In Being A Part Of. But There Are Only A Few Good Independent Movies A Year, And Many, Many Bad Ones. I Want To Be In Good Movies, And I Want People To See Them.

There Is A Need, Especially Right Now In America, To Be A Bit Provocative.

I Am Looking For Movies That Are Actually About Something And That Are Questioning Something. Movies That Are Provocative In Some Way And I Am Also Looking For Roles That I Think Will Force Me To Grow Or Learn Something About Myself Or The World In Order To Play Them Well.

I Said To Ramona [my Daughter] Once ... You Should Never Look Yourself Up On The Internet. It's Something I've Learned.

I Don't Feel That Way Now. I Don't Want To Make Movies For The 10 People Who Feel Exactly The Same Way About The World That I Do. I Want To Make Movies That Many, Many People See, And I Want To Say Something That I Believe Is Important In A Way That People Who Don't Agree With Me Can Hear. And That Involves Making Different Kinds Of Choices, But It's Not Like A Compromise That I'm Making. It's That Something Else Interests Me, Something Else Is Appealing To Me.
