We're in a time right now where there are so many pretty boy movies and TV shows out, that most of the actors that are in their late 20's are coming from those beefcake TV roles and they just don't have the chops.
I think my first and foremost advice is to have a very realistic understanding of what making movies is; how much work it is, how unglamorous it is, how much tenacity you have to have.
Again, I don't have a high and mighty attitude about what I do, these just happen to be the kind of movies I want to make.
I mean, there are certain Spielberg movies I really like, but clearly they're very different directors and I much prefer Kubrick to Spielberg.
I'm kind of happy to say I make weird movies - that part of it I'm really proud of.
You know, that's the reality, but I always shoot movies for the screen, 'cause that's just the experience that I want to get out of it.
And it really doesn't matter if you want to make mainstream movies - I think; make the movies you want to make.
