Most of my work has been independent movies outside the mainstream system.

Based on the name value I had, I went to L.A. and got involved in independent movies.

My theory is, independent movies only work if you're willing to push the material and do something different.

Sometimes the characters I find the most compelling are in independent movies. With independent scripts people can take more challenges.

It's very difficult to raise money, especially in the United States, for independent movies.

Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.
