party may drink
I'm such a homebody. I don't party. I don't drink. That may be because I got it out all out of my system before I was 18.
teenager littles social
I didn't have an incredibly active social life as a teenager. I always wished it was a little bit more exciting than it was.
team giving stuff
But I loved doing the physical stuff for 'Dredd.' I have to give a shout-out to the stunt team that I worked with.
people together film
Any filmmaking, any film is a collaborative process. There's always a lot of people working on things together.
hair naked hats
I feel naked without jewelry. If I'm having a bad hair day, I pick something from my huge collection of hats.
perspective style actresses
But I would say maybe just from an actress's perspective, probably 'Woman Under the Influence' is the best movie of all time. The style of filmmaking and the performances... you don't feel like you're watching a film.
girl eye kind
I'm not an eye-candy kind of girl.
naked jewelry feels
I feel naked without jewelry.
new-york cities desire
The older I get and the longer I live in New York City, the more I have the desire to go elsewhere and be surrounded by nature.
fun drama starting-out
When I was starting out, I always wanted to be able to do everything - comedy and drama and action, and everything in between. Film is so diverse, and it's fun to be able to take advantage of all of it.
new-york growing-up sight
There's very little you're not exposed to in New York City, in terms of ideas and physical things - sights, sounds, smells, different kinds of people. But one good thing about growing up fast is you get over it fast, too.
thinking kind sometimes
I think 3D can be an incredible thing on a movie and a terrible thing for a movie, depending on what kind of movie it is. And I've seen movies where I thought the 3D really enhanced the experience, and sometimes where I thought it just detracted from it.
saws film made
'The Movie' is something that I made with some friends of mine in L.A. My friend, Luke Eberl, is the filmmaker. He shot this movie and asked a bunch of his friends to be involved with it. I just saw him the other day and there is no money to finish the film. But, you know, I literally have a cameo in it.
independent lunch people
Oh, I love making independent films, it's such a special, magical thing because you collaborate with a small group of people and everyone's pitching in. You'll see producers setting up the lunch table and the sound guy driving a van. We're all really there because we want to be.
