giving actors dialect
Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy
play youth disenfranchised
I usually play disenfranchised youth
thinking brooks snob
My friends that are snobs think its cool I did a movie with Albert Brooks.
makeup roles
I'm attracted to roles where I don't have to wear makeup.
bigs big-movie
After I do a big movie I get offered big movies. But I always do the weirdest indie
art home self
Im a firm believer that actors take to work who they arent at home. People show their other self in their art or in their work.
people crafts
The Craft was what it was. People who respond to that movie respond to it really strongly.
people quality
People do eventually see something that's quality.
two acting different
In acting there's two different things: You're either pitching in a scene, or you're catching.
proud matter crafts
I'm really proud to have been in The Craft. I will always be that chick from The Craft, no matter what I do.
sexy men boss
I like watching a man boss everybody around. It's so sexy
suicide strong character
I don't know if directors go, 'Hey! We've got another suicide-let's call Robin Tunney! It's weird, but they're all different, and I guess it gives the characters some kind of power... At least I play women who are strong enough to take the power into their own hands! And kill themselves! So many women in films just shoot themselves in the head anyway, because they're not really there for any reason.
school grandmother college
I went to Catholic high school, so my being in this [the craft] is not going to make my grandmother very happy. It's funny, because I was the only one who is Catholic in it. You have this thing in mass where you have to genuflect before you go into the pew, so I said you have to do this [for a scene] and they said why, and I said because you have to; I don't know why, it's a rule. Or like instinct. It's funny they set in a Catholic school. I went to St. Ignatius College Prep - "Where Modesty is our Policy."
block thinking trying
I always try to be careful when an actor who is like 70 walks onto my set at work, I don't want them to get called in five hours early or block shoot something. I think you need to treat them with respect and dignity.
