Violet: Look, I've had a rough couple of days, are you really the owner? Cuz the last think I need is a waitress on a power trip wasting my time. Lil: You start Friday night.
My biggest dream since I was a kid was to be the woman sneaking on the pirate ship dressed like a man, who was this great sword fighter, and the captain fell in love with her.
You know, we knew that from the first day we started shooting,
I was surprised that he was such a sweet guy. I thought he was going to be strange. But he could be just the most down-to-earth, lovely family guy you've ever met.
At first I didn't know if I wanted to do TV again. I can get bored quickly.
because all I want to do is puke.
I feel like, in a way, after doing it for so many years, you learn a certain concentration and how to turn it on and off.
It's not like I prepare anymore, or have to think about my son being dead to get emotional. If you're working with a good actor and you're reacting off of them and you have a good script, it just comes organically. It's just stored in your body. So that emotion will just be brought out of you, as opposed to trying to force it.
I think a lot of people become actors because they have a great reservoir and repertoire of many different emotions they felt over their lives. It's like having a toolbox, and you go down into the toolbox and choose one or two of those that you need for a particular scenario, or something that comes up in a line.
There's usually not a lot of rehearsal when you do films.
I just have a gut feeling about something, if I really want to do it, if I'm excited about it, if I want to explore it. And that goes across all different sorts of genres.
People are kinda still a bit puritanical, perhaps. People don't expect a woman to feel so open, in a way, about her sexuality onscreen, and they probably find it fascinating. I think more actors are doing it and being open to that and not being afraid of it, so it's becoming less of a thing.
When I had my son, it was the worst day and the best day of my life because I realized that I will never love someone so much, but I will never be able to keep him from the lessons that he's meant to learn, in this lifetime.
You can be feminine and strong, at the same time. You can be a bad-ass and, at the same time, have a vulnerableness when you're hysterically crying, like most of us girls.
