I'm so sick of seeing these movies where married couples are just cuddling on the couch and caressing each other's faces.
If theatre paid as well as movies and TV, I'd do it all the time.
I'm looked upon as a theater actor who happened to know martial arts before I got into the movies.
I think I can speak with a degree of authority... today, the biggest driving force of movies is pace; God help you if you try to put in a scene that is about character and not plot.
The problem with movies is you are over-rewarded for the work you do. It's hard to give up, and I got used to a certain lifestyle.
Movies are a team sport now, and I want to play singles.
I don't write plays for them to be turned into movies.
The way we tell our stories on stage is that we use spoken word to convey action, and in movies, we use visual images to convey action.
When books and plays are made into movies, they frequently want to cut out the valleys and just show the peaks.
It's kind of true that they just start making the same movie over and over again. It's also true that the times dictate what kind of movies get made and what kind are not. So I'm always looking for something that's a little fresh and something that I haven't seen before.
