I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.
And I knew that, being an actor, you have to take the rough with the smooth and the highs with the lows. That's how it is.
The biggest difference for me is momentum. On a smaller film you get to shoot sometimes four or five scenes a day and you've got to do the tight schedule. I think I really feel the luxuries of a big budget film.
