That's absolutely what Tracy comes to incorporate into her sense of self,
There are certain people who prize celebrity over substance. That makes the media world go round. The media needs those people to exist.
Woody Allen is a great dramatist and a great comedian.
I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would, in between scenes, be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I'd think, 'How can you do that?' But it's so exhausting, you can't be 'on' 12-14 hours a day.
I haven't got many anecdotes. Maybe I should do something scandalous.
I tend to have this perverse reaction to authority and stress: I become more confident and clear when a challenge is enormous.
I think my understanding of different types of love has certainly deepened.
Being in Australia, I was really sun conscious. For a couple of summers there, I did the baby oil thing, and my my mom said, 'Just don't. You'll regret it.'
Before having children, I think I probably approached work very differently, and you become much more economical and pragmatic about your relationship to it.
Because the picture is called 'Veronica Guerin,' you expect a biopic. But it's really about the last two years of her life.
I never want to work. Even when you're presented with these great opportunities, I think, 'I really love being in my pajamas with the kids.'
Fine-tuning a play like 'Uncle Vanya,' which is already well-known to the people playing it, is not so much a verbal exercise as it is a visceral one.
When you play someone as terrifyingly well-known as Katharine Hepburn, it's a team effort.
When you are proud of something you have done, and you have made a film you feel has merit, and it's found an audience and is critically well received, that's a pretty pleasurable place to be. I mean, you don't want it gathering dust at the bottom of someone's DVD collection.
