The movie worked because people believed in her heroism. I won't play her with negative attributes she'd never have.
I think every movie changes me and is life changing, especially movies you direct.
It becomes this weird reality 12 hours a day stuck inside this tube. Half the time the (background actors) were really sleeping. It was like a real airplane, so they were all knocked out.
He is the foremost reason I wanted to make the movie. I'd never been right for one of his movies.
I read more than I do anything else, probably. I read about three books a week.
Once I had kids, my life with them became so significant, ... So something else has to really be important to drag me away. I have an identity that's very strong without being an actor. I don't need to do that just to be someone. I exist as a person without necessarily being an actor.

I don't like the outside world to intrude when I'm making a film. I like to either see my family or work, but I don't like to go out.

I did a couple of plays in junior high school, maybe high school, and then I did a play in college.
Going back and forth between the press and something like The Crucible must be really crazy and intense.
