thinking actors roles
The biggest compliment I think an actor can get is I can't imagine anyone else in the role.
done roles dramatic
I have done all of the genres, and the dramatic role is my favorite.
writing actors want
Every actor just wants good writing.
needs attention noble
One of the more noble things the Oscars can do is pay attention to movies no one knows about. Blockbusters don't need much help.
stars want flaws
Stars don't want to have flaws. Stars like to be likable.
art games video
You see a lot of these movies that are really just 90-minute video games. The effects are incredible. I get it: There's an art to that, terrific. I'm not interested in it, but there's an art to that I suppose.
singing actors music-industry
Well, the music industry is littered with actors who belatedly came to singing.
art gone-away phoenix
There is no best anything in art. Phillip [Hoffman] isn't better than Heath [Ledger]; Joaquin [Phoenix] isn't better than David [Strathairn] or Terence [Howard]. They aren't better than me. We all do different things. It's more of a celebration of a lot of great work than to give the gold to somebody. The underappreciated factor certainly has gone away.
art
There is no best anything in art.
writing play giving
Give me good writing, and I'll play it all day.
pages
You can't rewrite nothing, but you can rewrite 90 pages of sh*t. Now you've got your sh*t on the page, you can go work.
action emotion humans
We're all capable of anything as human beings. Any emotion, any action. We really are.
girl new-york moving
I would love to [do theater], but there are go-to girls for theater. I am learning that, upon moving to New York and inquiring. There are go-to girls that will get the role any day of the week. It's true. Some people won't even let me audition.
life thinking snow
I think Michigan keeps you sane and on an even keel through the ups and downs. In Michigan, I do fireworks, shovel snow and live life.
