Personally, I'm an advocate for short engagements. Long sometimes means there is a reason for it. Two years engaged and no wedding... I'd be upset.
I think a shot can actually influence a scene in a huge way. For example, comedy is always better in a two-shot. What's between the characters is what's funny. So you learn about these things as you go along.
I don't really watch that much TV, to be honest.
You feel very much like a puppet, but it had been what I was accustomed to - so you just get on with it and try to find something that rings true.
Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that.
I think for me the job always has to be the right thing at the right time.
I'm such a diva on set.
You can go at the premiere it's at Disneyland.
I think I'm drawn to characters with complexity or who are under duress in some way and have some conflict going on.
It's funny, because when you work on a set, everyone is watching you. You are being observed by everyone.
I'm about to do my second Bikram yoga class in Anchorage, Alaska. It's the only way to stay warm. I've got to get into shape. I've been eating nothing but fish and chips.
I almost broke my coccyx on 'The Wolf Man,' and I banged my head once. I had to fall really hard.
I find that it really helps that I live in the States. I'm married to an American, and I have lots of American friends.
It's nerve-wracking singing in front of people. I think that's why most people get drunk for karaoke.
