As an actor, I'm attracted to drama; as a director, it's humor - because it's the story of my life, and I can't be that serious about it. Being alone is a big theme in all my movies, both as a director and as an actress.
I make dark dramas, movies about people living in desperate fear who then overcome that fear and find a heroic side to themselves.
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.
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 know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.
Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock do romantic comedies. I do dark dramas. I do these movies well.
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.
I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.
So, yes, there's nothing I love more than listening to directors talk about their movies.
