again character concerned laughs makeup maybe physical sound staying tried worked wrong
we were concerned we were going to sound too broad, and maybe get laughs in the wrong way. We tried to fine-tune it a little, staying kind of neutral. Part of the transformation in any character is a new way of speaking. Also the physical look. Once again I worked with Toni G, who did my makeup for 'Monster.'
challenge life
I think in life we want to challenge ourselves.
happiness people
I'm happy for people who want to get married. It's not my thing.
chance few guess italian job worked
I guess there are very few actors that I've worked with that I would like to work with again. You never think you'll have that chance and, if we didn't do Italian Job together, there wouldn't be another one that could be right.
constant gonna hit soon
You can never get to a place of comfort in this business. As soon as you hit that little cushy spot, somebody's gonna kick you out. So I have a constant need to do it better.
heard life portraying rumour sensitive upsetting vicious weeks
I had called her up a couple of weeks before then, because I had heard this vicious rumour that she did not like the movie. It was very upsetting for me. I am very sensitive to that, because I am portraying her life and did not want her to be unhappy.
If I don't like seeing myself on the screen, I think when I start seeing that, that's when I think I'll stop.
good-movie important want
I want to be in a good movie, and so the narrative is way more important.
thinking mirrors angle
I think good filmmaking is when you really hold the mirror up truthfully, and you don't angle it and you don't hide things with smoke and mirrors.
book writing thinking
I think writing a book with film in mind is a way to write a really bad books. You can usually tell those books that are packaged to become films.
writing fighting teeth
As actors, we were fighting that tooth and nail because of fear, because language is a crutch and dialogue is a crutch, and it's so easy to just have a great writer write you a line.
pedestal want
I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I don't want to be anything other than what we are. I want to just be a woman.
