people awful answers
You say something bad about Newsies and you have an awful lot of people to answer to.
mean people disaster
I always leave that for other people to decide, because some of the things I consider to be disasters are some people's favorite movies. And that's what I like so much, is that you never know. Something intrigues somebody and means nothing to somebody else.
thinking vision actors
So yeah, a good director will be able to listen and hear everything, but have a confident vision of his own that he can say, 'oh yeah - that's a great point.' And you never know; often you can help far more than you think you can, because there's so much more that he's juggling than an actor.
sexy thinking trying
I think trying too hard to be sexy is the worst thing in the world a woman can do.
boxing shapes
There's nothing like boxing for getting you in shape.
art giving people
Art is something to be proud of. Art is no compromise. As an actor, you're giving it up, you're at the mercy of so many other people.
real giving tough-times
All of the muscles were gone, so that was a real tough time of rebuilding all of that. But you have a deadline, you have an obligation. You've said that you will commit to this part, and I just can't live with myself for not really giving it as much as I can.
mean acting fool
It's the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.
dirty painful-experiences done
I've had some painful experiences in my life, but I feel like I'm trivializing them by using them for a scene in a movie. I don't want to do that. It just makes me feel kind of dirty for having done that.
intelligent acting scripts
I only sound intelligent when there's a good script writer around.
half
Whatever you do, do it completely. Don't do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would.
waiting acting typecasting
It's about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along.
movie interesting actors
The interesting thing about a movie is the movie.
past thinking years
I went backwards and forwards over it until I was 22. And then in the past few years I began to say to myself, OK, look, I'm not messing around. This is something I want to attack, instead of thinking, I'll just see what happens with it.
