I can't comment on any outside perception. I'm happy to come out and talk about movies that I've worked on in a setting like this. Otherwise, I have my own life that I live which is very different and private.
It was, when I read it, I thought, such a beautiful script. I loved the story. I thought it was well handled. I thought it was even more moving because it was a true story and that made it even more poignant.
When it's good it's great, it's really great.
I thought it was brave of Walter to allow the protagonist of the film to do things that she wishes she hadn't done. It happens. You make mistakes as a parent. Then you wish you hadn't said that, or you wish you hadn't told them how to dress. You cringe.
I'm so happy in the projects that I'm able to make, to be involved in projects like this. This isn't always where it was at for me, I started working when I was a kid. I'm just a different person now, I'm 30. I started working when I was 11 and it's a different ballgame.
We live in downtown Manhattan and we have pretty big windows that looked right at the World Trade Center. I was home along with Kai and we watched it all happen. I was holding him in my arms and we were looking out the window when the second plane hit.
I am a huge fan of personal hygiene, so I embrace water,
It was really nice working with her, ... She's a very sweet little girl. We had a lot of rehearsal time together. When we were just getting to know each other she would tell me stories about her dog and her grandma before we got on with doing scenes together. She worked really hard but seemed to enjoy it. I hope we didn't torture her too much.
The producers were great. They tried so hard to make it bearable. They got a hot tub so I could sit around and be warm between without having to dry off the whole time. But there was a lot trudging around in cold, dank water.
You would hope you wouldn't (shout at her), but you might.
You don't want to get rid of your experiences, because they're your experiences - good or bad - and you need them, but it would be great if they weren't on the video shelf!
I was drawn to them both for similar reasons, ... They're both complicated characters who are struggling with their lives. People say that Marion, the girl I played in Requiem for a Dream , was pretty dark, too, so I guess I should be careful. I tend to get offered a lot of drug-addict parts, women on the verge, so I think I'm going to do a comedy next time.
I think it's a different type of horror film than has existed before,
By some beautiful twist of fate I've landed in this vocation that demands that I feel and helps me to learn, ... No film has moved or taught me more than 'A Beautiful Mind.'
