character home thinking
I think actors always like to think they don't bring the character home, and then their family all laugh and tell you otherwise.
jobs character emotional
I think you approach a part the same way and just find out in what's making them tick and who they are. In a movie like this you may have a little less time and few dialogue scenes and exposition scenes for your character to really get that across, and so I wanted to be able to convey that she's not somebody who's just punching a clock but she has this weird emotional investment in her job to where she does get quite myopic and that's what makes her relentless.
party character gun
Apparently, I'm very good at firing a gun without blinking, which is unusual. That's why so many action characters have to wear sunglasses during shoot-out scenes. That's my party trick.
bit living lord point spots voldemort
This is what's sick about living in L.A. My eight-year-old daughter will point to a woman and say, 'Look! That woman's had too much Botox.' She spots them because they all look a bit like Lord Voldemort from 'Harry Potter.'
allowed believe chris controlled degrees example life people purpose says seen serve walk
People are controlled to varying degrees but it will still make people think - for example Chris actually says to Marian: 'I've seen you walk down the street, you are allowed out' - so to all intents and purposes she's free. But Bernie has brain-washed her to believe her only purpose in life is to serve him.
ourselves people puts women
There's such a pressure on women that we put on ourselves and everyone else puts on us to look unrealistic and everything, but you just can't compare yourself to people in magazines.
drilling noise noises people pet supposed talking theater
I have more pet peeves than anybody: people talking in the movie theater, people eating in the movie theater loudly, people being rude, people making noise when you're supposed to be asleep, like drilling noises outside. I could be here all day.
concert fancy found great large mustache quite sing size
I would quite like to play a big concert as Freddie Mercury. I can't sing that great and I haven't yet found a use for the over large size of my teeth. I quite fancy a mustache like that and he was such a great showman.
child constantly dance-and-dancing friend ourselves routines
I was a big disco-dancing child really. My friend and I were constantly making up routines and flinging ourselves around and doing the splits.
ask children except mother people sure
If I have children I am going to make sure people don't ask them, ""Are you going to be an actor?"" My mother said I could be anything I wanted except a policeman.
crazy actors responsible
As an actor, your motives and your own crazy psyche is really all you're responsible for in the movie.
teacher badass acting
I still feel like the person who shouldn't be doing this and everyone is acting around me as if I'm a badass all the time. And this still feels like a stretch. I realize this is something that is incredible. I get to do this and I get wonderful teachers to help me and it's amazing.
drama scared feels
But it still feels like it's a reach for me. I am more comfortable doing a drama. I feel like I know what I'm doing a bit better there. But it's good to be scared.
book mean fighting
It is very different. I mean, it was immediately different because it's a human being and it's not a vampire and it's not fighting monsters. This isn't the kind of movie that's got the comic book style of fighting to it. It was a bit more gritty.
