I'm a person who likes to hang out. I would never go on a blind date. That sounds like the most uncomfortable thing on the planet earth. It's like, 'Hi. Nice to meet you. So, what kind of music do you like?' Date ended.
It's nice when the movie is not on your shoulders, too. It's fun to do a smaller part sometimes.
It's always nice when people appreciate your work because it means you've affected them, which is great. And so that feels good.
It'd be nice to feel that claustrophobic feeling or the anxiety that the film Melancholia produces, but for me I look at it and think about what I was doing that day, where we shot it... It's kind of like a weird memory. It's more a photo album of memories than being able to feel connected to myself. It's not easy to do.
We spent a month on that scene and it goes by in a minute.
I was excited to do a movie like this because the part is done for you. It's a beautifully-written character. A lot of times you're making it up as you go.
Her words are like the music of a song. No wonder this guy falls for her.
Nobody has wanted all of me as much as she has, ... She lets things happen. She lets mistakes happen.
On the making of hit movie Spiderman: They put me in this big harness. It was really unflattering to the figure.
She is honest and upfront to a fault. She doesn't have a lot of fear. She's dorky and doesn't care, and in that way she's cool.
May favorite food at the moment is Pasta, "with tons of shaved Parmesan on the side. Not crumbly but like the hunks, you know what I mean...when you get the thin slices.
Madonna is my role model she's such a powerful woman. I love Gwenyth Paltrow, she's an actress I aspire to be like. And, of course, my mom. She drove me from New Jersey to New York every day for commercials so I could get where I am today.
It wasn't painful -- let's put it that way -- but it's not the way I'd choose to make out with somebody.
It was funny, during the making of this movie I was really sad because you're not getting anything back and you're giving so much to so many other people. I feel like that's the way Claire was. She spends a lot of time on other people, giving people advice and learning about people; and she doesn't really take care of herself in that way.
