I always maintain that the film industry and film people across the globe are more or less the same.
All over the world, actors and actresses are chosen for their performing skills. Not how they look or what they wear. It is all about how they act, how they emote.
I could never understand the herd mentality. I have always fought to do things my way and have stuck to that.
People should be good, established people; the filmmaking and acting experience should be heartening. So I chose films where I would get a good experience, not just great roles.
