I love moving through long spaces and being enclosed.
There's a kind of dream that movies sell to people: You can start as the lowliest person and rise to the top. 'Hit Me' doesn't sell this fantasy.
I would define independent film as a movie that is not financed by any of the smaller film companies. Because then, those are movies that in all likelihood are made without stars. And then they have to rely just on the material.
After 'Secretary,' I was wanting very badly to find something to make that I really cared about.
If somebody sent me a good script, I would do it, and I mean that, but it never happens. Not once. I can't even point to an exception.
