characters drawn good
I'm very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I'm less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they're not real people.
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.
character stories
I prefer smaller movies because they tend to be more about character than about story.
funny character thinking
I think things are funny when the character is taking it totally seriously.
plays school star
I wasn't a big star in the school plays or anything.
people
Some people like having eyes upon them and I don't.
films lots successful
I'm very successful and do lots of films but I've never actually done anything extraordinary.
maybe people putting spend twice
People want to imagine I spend every night going to premieres and putting on frocks and getting into limos, and yet I do that maybe twice a year, if that.
life work
You have your real life and then you have your work.
The thing is, you choose to be an actress, but not to be a celebrity.
people
Most people care what people think about them... we all do.
sit
In therapy you sit down; in analysis you lie down.
became comedy genre obsessive
I've done a lot of drama, and comedy was the one genre I was not being offered. So I became obsessive about getting one.
