Characters that are not the norm or a bit out of the ordinary are always a challenge as an actress. You learn more by using different tools for those type of characters.

You just can never count on a formula, on a movie that you think is going to be a big hit, and that's why you do it.

You just keep your fingers crossed.

When I heard about the Microsoft Kinect, though, I felt an urgency rising in me. A game you played without touching any machinery?

Studs Terkel

The history of those who shed those other tears, the history of those anonymous millions, is what Terkel wants readers and listeners to come away with. What's it like to be that goofy little soldier, scared stiff, with his bayonet aimed at Christ? What's it like to have been a woman in a defense-plant job during World War II? What's it like to be a kid at the front lines? It's all funny and tragic at the same time.
