I'd love to do a film like 'Chicago.' Something musical because I've obviously come from that background.
I mean, the only thing that matters to me is getting to the work - getting to do the work. And I don't really care where it is: whether it's on stage or on television or in film.
I don't think people understand when you say you are making a micro-budget film that you are getting paid no money.
I think often in film we limit our imaginations a little - well, quite a lot, actually things get quite formulaic.
You seldom get that in film where you're lucky if you get any say at all in the final cut.
It's really exciting to be in a film that people actually want to go and see! I was having to pay people to see my movies!

I'm always honored, but I think for every 100 of those that come along, one of them is actually going to happen. And, the fact that this was an offer on a major film that had a start date, was pretty impressive.
I'm just happy to be a film where for once I don't have to worry about my hair, because my managers are always complaining about my hair looking depressing in my movies. Which is true. I mean, it's true.
