eye lines looks
It's in the eyes, mostly. Don't listen just to the other actor's lines. Look at - and listen to - their eyes. That's where the emotion comes through.
character people looks
They really stay just characters to me. I look at them, and I don't see always the same person up there. And hopefully, people will see that too. Because it's very easy to bore people, and that's a killer. So hopefully that won't happen.
hard-work effort
I like hard work. I like putting the effort towards it and then being able to look at it and go, "All right, I did that."
thinking careers people
And I do think that earlier in my career, I did make a very conscious decision to make sure that I was doing work that wasn't necessarily given to me, and that people didn't necessarily think that I would be able to do.
wrinkles
As you get older, you get wrinkles and your boobs sag. But you get wisdom, too. So it's not all bad!
luck right-time right-place
I'd be unbelievably wrong to say there isn't such a thing as the right place, right time-luck.
beautiful
[If you want to] ask the question what is beautiful? It's the life that you lead. It's the life that all women lead.
girl kind made
I am a relationship girl. That's kind of just how I'm made... When you're in my life, it's actually very contained.
mom kind being-a-woman
You're either a really good hooker or a really good mom. That kind of conflicted nature is very much a part of being a woman.
home doors people
People need to understand that what happens in people's homes and behind closed doors, unless you were there, you really shouldn't make any analogy or any assumption, which writers do quite a bit. It's not something I ever for one second thought about. This is not my life story, and I've never told my life story, and I have no interest in telling my life story.
jobs life-and-love thinking
I think actors who know their job know that's how you do it. You don't show up and make people miserable. That poor grip who's standing there, he just wants to feed his family. He doesn't need to hear about your psychosis on life and love and death.
talking careers
Something I learned very early on in my career is that there are a lot of things that you do not have any power over.
jeans guy stuff
I'm 50-50 on glamour stuff. I'd rather put on a pair of jeans and get on my Harley and act like a guy.
jobs years bigs
If I knew that 3D was going to be such a big deal, I would have gotten that boob job 10 years ago.
