It doesn't feel like a long time to me. My life is full. I have new priorities. I've been working a long time, so now I do movies for a different reason than I did for much of my career.
I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.
I don't direct so that I can have an identity and so I can go on to CGI movies. I had a big identity as an actor, and that's not what I'm looking for from directing. Directing is a whole different goal.
I don't make movies because I love to act. I make movies because I like to make movies, and I like to be a part of that process.
I had a certain career as an actor that I think was quite personal as well, and had a lot of integrity, but I wasn't writing my own things or directing my own movies.
The world is littered with movies about people that are depressed that either did not come out or are not successful.
I think every movie changes me and is life changing, especially movies you direct.
I just want to make movies. I really love movies. I want to be involved with them.
I'm interested in directing movies about situations that I've lived, so they are almost a personal essay about what I've come to believe in.
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
I do almost all my movies in French. I dub them.
I stand to make more money doing that sequel than I've ever made in my life,
Anna changes. That's something that neither Deborah Kerr or Irene Dunne could do. They had to start off soft and stay that way. In our version, she's sort of tough and stubborn, but as time goes on she softens.
Each brings his prejudices to the table. At first, she thinks he's a heathen and a barbarian. Then, he reminds her that her native England has invaded other countries, and the English believe their way is the only way. As they grow to understand each other, it becomes a love story.
