I guess if you didn't know me -- or even if you did know me -- the contrast is pretty real. It is something I am really proud of, ... Traffic
It must have been 300 people there everyday. But we could go outside and whenever I had a chance, I'd go to first class and take a nap.
Watching Jodie on this is incredible; it's the perfect role for her. It's so intense and so emotional. She just jumped right into it and is so professional.
The thing about that too is that we had the same extras everyday. It was such a community. It was like a microcosmic little town. We were like all little towns people with extras and a crew.
We were worried about that actually. The cast was thinking that they'd lose their minds. But we didn't.
I don't know if my agent will be upset but I quoted him saying that he would jump out a window if I turn down another project.
Being an actor is definitely not about sitting around on set and having a cigarette or something. It's about acting. The more you can audition, then that's the best thing ever because you learn so much and you get your face out there and you grow your confidence.
I cook a lot. I'm always experimenting. I'm not much of a recipe follower.
I have pictures from work that I'm sending to my family. I send them scripts that I'm working on so they can be excited and know what's up with me.
FaceTime is a life saver for relationships and for family.
To be entirely honest, I am an extremely confident person, and I don't think I would have gotten into this business if I felt that I wasn't going to succeed and I intend to be in this business, for the rest of my life.
My grandmother was, back when they called them 'stewardesses,' a flight attendant. I actually had a ball wearing that little uniform and making sure everything was under control.
My home life is very much about getting up in the morning and getting to the gym or getting on my bicycle and making sure that I get to cook dinner for my boyfriend.
I've always been a good flier. I love the whole experience.
