Hollywood is run by men who are big on vulnerability. |
Suddenly, I realised: this was what I wanted to do. I didn't know how to do it; I just knew acting felt right. |
As a measure of acting skills, film can be very deceptive. |
I'm not looking at money, percentage points or grosses. This is my life, you know? To me, every day matters. |
I do need to be told when I'm going wrong. No one's acting can be an exact, 100 percent science. |
I've worked with leading men so worried about losing their charm that they were always winking to the audience. |
Domesticity has to mean nesting. Otherwise, six months go by, and you don't know where your underwear is. |
I used to go home at night and just shake, because I had no idea that's what acting was gonna be. |
I've never found that it jars to go back and forth. |
Some stars like to hide behind the whole idea of acting. But really good actors are not hiding at all. They're not afraid to be disliked, to be a little unsavoury. |
I hate it when people say, Mary Elizabeth, this may be hell, but the movie is going to be sooo good. |
