I just have a thing for writers. Maybe it because I'm just so not a writer.
Holly Hunter has been doing great work forever.
It's never easy with characters in these dark and grave circumstances but that's my job.
And now oddly I'm getting sexier parts than I've ever gotten.
I'm still traumatized that I'm going to be on a big screen in a white bikini and naked so who knows!
Maybe I have a certain amount of smarts to say yes because I don't care if I'm not going to make any money because I love the part.
I saw the Hyatt for the first time yesterday and I can't believe anyone who was in that building is alive. But I must say, I am glad to be home with my family and I am fortunate that they are all fine and well.
He's a great mixture of strength and vulnerability,
But no, had I been successful in my 20s I would have been just fine. But it is nice to defy the odds.
I love writers. All of my best friends are writers.
And I have a really great agent and I know it's almost an oxymoron to say you have a smart agent. But she is and she has a beautiful aesthetic and she has guided me.
I think it would be hard to go the distance in this business without a sense of humor.
I'll read a script maybe twice, but I'll think about the role more than I'll rehearse lines.
I think it kind of took being a character actor to kind of now enter into leading ladies.
