Everything in my career is my decision - every picture, every outfit. You get one chance at this, and I never saw myself as being a puppet.
I became a real Shell Motor Oil expert, and I did this 25-minute film. It turned out really well and, as a result, they offered me more work and lots of commercials to direct.
Luckily, I'm in the position now of being able to play purely because I have the desire to do so.
