I'm going to embarrass my kids - sex is important. Sex is really important.
It's that I'm 39. I feel hot and sexy, actually... I feel it inside myself. I don't feel dried up and tired and no longer interested in sex is what I'm trying to say.
Hollywood is sexist and age-ist, and that covers all the bases, I guess.
It's not that I don't see myself as hot and sexy. Don't get me wrong. No, it's not that.
Sometimes when you do a part, the wall between you and the characters can be very porous. You can sort of move in and out of your character's persona and being. And that just couldn't happen on this one because of working with him.
You know, I grew up with brothers so I'm used to being the only girl.
We do spend time talking about it and we puzzle through it together. We ride the roller coasters together - the high highs and the low lows.
It's not always thankless. Let's face it - it's not always thankless. I've gotten a lot of really great recognition and I've worked with amazing people.
It makes it all worth it when you are doing a great part and you are really living it, making it real, and then it lives for people on the screen.
Yes, I have something else that I produced and he directed. We have something else that we're trying to get off the ground that we have a script for.
I think we have a very real marriage.
I optioned a book and we got the script written, and he wants to direct it. It's a very dark movie so we'll see if it gets made.
I think in this movie, every time I see his work, I'm blown away by it because he, to me, he really embodied the character so powerfully and so real, so truthfully to me.
While it is challenging working with a kid, because they're so of the moment all the time. My acting style is to try to take something from my life that the character can relate to and that I can relate the character to.
