I'll never forget my high school acting teacher, Anthony Abeson, who said, "It starts with the shoes." When I think about a character, it does start with the shoes: What kind would she wear? How would she walk in them? If I'm going to put on a dress for a role - I don't care if it's the hardest dress to put on - I have to put the shoes on first. The physicality leads me to the character.
I remember being seven and asking my mom if I was as pretty as Monique [my best friend in grade school]. And with all the love in the world, my mom looked at me and said, 'Oh, honey, you're so funny.' So, she doesn't lie to me...she answers the question by not answering and instead tells me what she thinks is my greatest strength.
I went to the Rudolf Steiner School in New York, and you're not allowed to watch TV.
In high school there were so many Jennifers, I had all sorts of names, including Jo-Jen, Jenna, Jenna-Bean, and Jenny A.
I loved that, ... It was a bit unnerving at first. You know, it's not ? what I normally do. But I had a ball.
I'm thrilled. It's so wonderful. And who knew that this (divorce) would be the thing to initiate this?' It's like we get to reintroduce ourselves to each other. I'm just happy she's still here.
It's so hard, it's almost the impossible - not talking about anything. I don't abide well to gag orders. I'm a talker. I think it's a beautiful trait when people are not micro-managing every corner of their life.
They invade and speculate, ... All I'll say is that I loved it, I had a great time in Chicago, that's it, that's all. I've learned my lesson, you know what I mean? I'm not going to throw that one up the flagpole and see if anybody salutes.
It was hard to kiss Clive, but you know what? Somebody had to do it, and that's what they pay me for,
There's the days when I go, 'I don't want it. I'm just not in the mood.' But it'll die down eventually, and I have also come to some peace with it. It's like, 'So how many pictures are they going to get of you walking on the beach?' That's got to get boring.
There was a moment of, 'Oh gosh, I hope I can pull this off,
I'm doing so well, ... Look at what's happening in the world in other places and look at what we have.
I love watching thrillers, ... I didn't know it would be this well done, this well written. I read it from beginning to end and just had no clue where it was going next. I like to think I can usually figure out where a story is going.
I'm the youngest of the group and everybody's sort of married and evolved in their lives and I'm pretty much the drifter and it's about how we deal with relationships and how money will effect friendships.
