company films pleasure small special thoughts
It's a pleasure to be (in the company of) these so-called small movies. But I think it's the opposite. The thoughts are very big and these films are very special to me.
ask attention deal gray mood movies small year
I think this year is the year that small movies get attention because they deal with complexities, they go to the gray area. They deal with issues, and they ask questions; they don't really give resolution. That's the mood this year.
small work
I thought it was a small work of love. I never thought it would play like this.
oscars treasure year
In a year when the Oscars have such an independent spirit, I really treasure this encouragement.
award exciting might
No, this might not be the most exciting award that I could win, but it is the most solid.
asking proud question
I'm so proud of the movie. Why they didn't go for it, I don't know. You're asking a question that I don't know the answer. ... Congratulations to the 'Crash' filmmakers.
background fight general life people
I had to fight with my background ... but I also had to live in the general environment. People have to be categorized. That's very annoying. Don't you find that annoying? Life shouldn't be like that. The world isn't like that. There's a lot of complexity. There are exceptions.
five last left since stood time
It's been five years since the last time I stood here. But in my mind, I've never left the independent spirit.
love touching watch
Don't watch the film with 'colored glasses' and it's a very touching love story.
When I'm not working, I get very down, but when I am working, I get very immersed in it.
Some actors give you what you want. Some you have to make do what you want.
I'm not macho, I'm not a Mel Gibson sort of person.
choose life material work
I'm actually living my life with the material I choose to work with.
shy
I was very quiet, very shy and docile.
