men
You would never say to a man, 'do you like playing strong men?' You just wouldn't say that.
experience imagine job
As an actress, it's part of your job to be able to imagine just about anything - even if it's not within your personal experience.
stars writing letters
I would LOVE to be in the Star Trek sequel! Yeah! I would love to! I better write that letter to J.J.[Abrahams]
thinking like-you audience
I think if you ask the audience to like you, it's all over.
character interesting should
The most interesting characters are those you're drawn to, then repelled by, and then come to understand. All that tension - I live that. But I don't plan the tension. It's just something that should happen.
believe character order
I don't judge the character at all. It's a bit like being someone's defense lawyer - you have to believe in their innocence in order to defend them.
believe people choices
People believe in you more after you've won an Oscar, but it's up to you what choices you make.
passion luxury trying
I was offered more work after the Oscar. When I was younger, I would take whatever I was offered because it was money and work and experience. In a way, choosing is the hard part. I know that's a luxury problem, but it's true. I try to go where passion takes me.
believe people causes
I've always been fascinated by activists, people who will devote their life to a cause, people who go to India and to Africa and put their life in jeopardy to do what they believe is right.
thinking acting special
I think that in big-budget movies there's a lot of other stuff going on besides acting, like special effects.
real water scary
That was me under the bath and the water being held down. The director wanted it to look as real as possible so he told Keanu, in front of me, don't go easy on her. So it was scary.
running brother woods
The happiest days of my youth were when my brother and I would run through the woods and feel quite safe.
sexy thinking london
I think London's sexy because it's so full of eccentrics.
stars thinking kind
I think mystery is kind of great. I don't know anything about Bette Davis or Katharine Hepburn or Ava Gardner - not really - and I like that. I love watching their movies because they're my personal movie stars. I don't know what they eat and who their trainer is.
