I had never been attracted to younger guys. I had, from my late teens, always liked men who were older than me.
Please forgive me for not saying I'll try to do better.
I thought it was very original. The story could have been very cheesy and sensationalized.
I love what I do, and I appreciate this very much. Trick question.
It's wonderful, isn't it, that so many people on the movie are being recognized, ... We're this wonderful little family of people that did this kind of small picture. We just did it because we thought it might be a good movie and we loved the script.
You have to have a wristband to listen to the governor? ... He represents all of us, right?
Do we need a wristband to listen to our governor? ... He represents all of us.
The reason, I think, is that Jean is not sympathetic. She's not a nice girl. She's not out to win people. I think that's why the movies never got made.
They did really adventurous traveling together. She talked about that. She talked about what a great reader he was, that he would read up on where they were going. It's completely fascinating to talk to her. I was ? and she said that when they were dancing, he made her feel like Ginger Rogers.
It's a thrill because the movie was made for love. We did it because we thought it could be very special ... It's absolutely a thrill to be a part of something that has meant so much to so many people. We're all just thrilled that people like it.
I always wonder about people's history and their lives, especially people that are a little bit more distant, who obviously have had some kind of a thing and you know there's some reason why they're not able to connect. It's not because they don't want to. They don't have the ability.
I fall in love with all the people I'm working with, women, directors, everybody. As actors, that's actually one of the real pleasures of the work. You have this weird opportunity to get unnaturally close to people very quickly.
I knew I wanted children in my life. The acting was always in relation to it. Life at home is chaos. They're wonderful. They're such interesting human beings. I just love it. I'm lucky
I think what's interesting about the whole paparazzi thing is that unless you're Brad Pitt or Madonna, you can pretty much avoid it. You know when you're going to an opening that you will be photographed, so that's fine. And you know the restaurants that have paparazzi, so you don't go to them.
