home thinking mad
I am going home and I think in a week or so, hopefully, I'll be done with all the press stuff, and then I can kind of into my cave and start preparing for "Mad Max."
fun people actors
The human condition is all about us pretending to be something sometimes that we're not. When you get into the core of people kind of stripping all of that away, that's for me, as an actor, always the most fun stuff to do.
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.
careers trying looks
I look at my career and how I'm doing it now. I feel like there is something authentic in that process that I still try not to over manipulate. When I feel something, I try to listen to that.
thinking sense-of-humor comedy
I think a sense of humor is a very personal thing and I don't know if I am talented enough to do romantic comedies.
values
We value some lives more than others.
lonely tired mean
I think acting is really fully adapting to your surroundings, to your emotions, to the people that you're working with, to being tired, to wanting to go home, to being lonely, to being happy. I mean, it's adapting. For me, it is anyway. And trusting. Adapting and trusting. That's my format right there.
believe hard-work one-day
You get yourself out there and you work hard and you hope that word of mouth kind of carries and one day somebody will actually step up to the plate and say "I believe that you can do this."
thinking trying actors
In the story, I think as an actor you're just trying to fit into the world.
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.
challenges sometimes behavior
You can shave your head, but I've had to gain a lot of weight for movies, I've had to drop weight really fast for movies. I've had to learn accents or embody physical behaviors or twitches and things like that. And sometimes you take to some things easily and sometimes [not]. That's the challenge of the job.
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.
relationship feeler
I'm always open to a relationship, but I'm not putting those feelers out there now.
giving chance can-do
There's only so much you can do, but if somebody doesn't give you a chance there is nothing you can do.
