Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.

My films went to numerous film festivals. I was stunned at how shallow the films were and how much alike. And how politically correct. Not only did you have to be young, but also too a member of some minority. Teenage angst, gay, lesbian, any film about a woman as a victim.

The only difference from one $100 million budget film to another is which of the 12 box stars are getting $20 million to be in it.

I am not simply an actor, but also have written books and now directed/written a film, I have some people that are interested in that aspect of my experience.

I wanted to be Anthony Hopkins and ended up being neither a film star nor having a career on the stage.

Films are about emotions. They are, for the most part and certainly in today's mainstream film world, NOT about ideas. Not thought-provoking. They are all about EMOTION. FEELINGS.
