But with the right kind of coaching and determination you can accomplish anything and the biggest accomplishment that I feel I got from the film was overcoming that fear.

   

I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.

   

I love books.

   

I read while the kids play. I can see them from the kitchen window. And I'm a fast reader.

   

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

   

Being a Southern person and a blonde, it's not a good combination. Immediately, when people meet you, they think of you as not being smart.

   

To play June, I had an immediate connect with her background and culture. We grew up with the same religion and shared a lot of the same values of family and spirituality. But I was really so inspired by what a modern woman she was.

   

It's fun to do a comedy and hook people in and then hoodwink them into watching a serious movie. I like to lead in with the comedy and then hit them over the head with a drama.

   

It really bothers me when people don't use coasters. Particularly on my table.

   

We each own one car, and we have a reasonable house. It's a lovely place to be, but it's not extravagant.

   

I don't believe in perfection. I don't think there is such a thing. But the energy of wanting things to be great is a perfectionist energy.

I think movies are great and I have a great time making them but they're not what keeps you warm at night, or what's ultimately the most important thing in anyone's life journey.

   

Confidence is everything in this business.

   

It's funny that it all becomes about clothes. It's bizarre. You work your butt off and then you win an award and it's all about your dress. You can't get away from it.

   

I get crazy in a bookstore. It makes my heart beat hard because I want to buy everything.

   

But listen, I'm 29-years-old, I'm really lucky to be there and whatever happens I've been really blessed already. I have plenty of awards for this movie and if this was it for me I'd be really content.

   

That said, I'd love to do a musical, either in film or on stage.

   

Well I had my kids so young that I kind of feel that I'm a kid too and am growing up with them. The things they're interested in tend to really influence me.

   

The joy we get as actors is out of transforming ourselves into something that's not necessarily anything true to ourselves. And it's a power - not being yourself, and being in the role; it's just like another prop.
