I'm trying to figure out the trick of working to live as opposed to living to work, but I don't know if I've quite stumbled upon it just yet.
It was really fun and intimate in a way. Working with George Miller is exquisite. Gloria is different from anything I've ever played before. The first time I saw the characters in the studio I remember thinking that Mumble looked just like Elijah, with such a cute and endearing face. I don't think Gloria looks that much like me.
I've been singing my whole life, since I was a kid; but never formally as a career. I did it in plays when I was younger, and I sang all styles of music: everything from Italian opera to blues.
I would hope with all my heart that people understand this and see it in the film. And there are also other messages in Happy Feet, like racial and environmental ones, but none of them are so overt. George has made a great story about penguins with a lot of humanity in it and audiences can follow a species we don't know that well.
I think they should take everyone who works for The National Enquirer and the Star, and everyone who works for Us Weekly, and put them all to work looking for terrorists. I think they would find the terrorists. All of them. It would be genius!
I don't think Hollywood per se is supposed to be taken seriously, otherwise, dear Lord, that would be frightening.
I consider myself a character actor.
I'm a clean freak and a germaphobe - I have hand sanitizer in my pocket.
If you can't change your surroundings, change your hair color.
I've never formally trained in acting, so I'm very instinctual and visceral with decisions.
Well, I lost my virginity in a car. But it wasn't a very nice one.
To give Tinker Bell a voice for the first time in history is such an honor.
Anyone that has a music career and an acting career I think is pretty fantastic.
Home is where my mom is.
