I would like to work with Todd Phillips of 'The Hangover'. I would like to do more comedies; it would be a lot of fun. No actors in particular. I don't consciously seek out things to do.
It's great to get paid for what you love doing most. To enjoy your work. And to follow that. It's important.
I could never hold a job for more than three months, which works out well because that's how long a movie shoots.
I love politics, but I wouldn't want to be involved in it. Too little money, too much work!
I love to work. I actually enjoy it now more than I did when I was in my 20s. I don't know why, but I'm just grateful.
I've spent about a year of my life here between the four movies I've filmed. I can't imagine how devastated people must feel.
I've been playing music since I was 12 and I like to play in a band. It takes the place of theatre for me, the live performance element.
I've been down to a 1 twice, and every time I get down there I start playing badly. I'm playing like a 13 right now. I have no idea why. It's all between the ears.
I wasn't interested in doing a baseball story. My favorite sports movies transcend the sports that they are about.
I wasn't interested in doing a baseball story.
I still have my original love for acting. That's why I feel so lucky. I think that's what sustains me in the sort of leaner times.
I didn't want to throw like an actress.
One thing I've really never had a problem with was memorizing lines. Most of the time I don't memorize the lines until we're on the set shooting the scene.
Movies usually find me, but I'm open to anything.
