opportunity actors truthful
It's so great as an actor to get the opportunity to do something that's incredibly truthful.
crazy thinking labels
I've never been a fan of labels. I think its very easy to kind of look at somebody and just kind of throw a label on them 'They're crazy.'
stars play able
You have to be able to feel like you can play way outside of the box. If you're with a great filmmaker and someone you can trust, that's encouraged, and Seth was that kind of filmmaker and co-star.
lonely tired mean
I think acting is really fully adapting to your surroundings, to your emotions, to the people that you're working with, to being tired, to wanting to go home, to being lonely, to being happy. I mean, it's adapting. For me, it is anyway. And trusting. Adapting and trusting. That's my format right there.
careers trying looks
I look at my career and how I'm doing it now. I feel like there is something authentic in that process that I still try not to over manipulate. When I feel something, I try to listen to that.
believe hard-work one-day
You get yourself out there and you work hard and you hope that word of mouth kind of carries and one day somebody will actually step up to the plate and say "I believe that you can do this."
thinking trying actors
In the story, I think as an actor you're just trying to fit into the world.
pedestal want
I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I don't want to be anything other than what we are. I want to just be a woman.
writing fighting teeth
As actors, we were fighting that tooth and nail because of fear, because language is a crutch and dialogue is a crutch, and it's so easy to just have a great writer write you a line.
thinking mirrors angle
I think good filmmaking is when you really hold the mirror up truthfully, and you don't angle it and you don't hide things with smoke and mirrors.
good-movie important want
I want to be in a good movie, and so the narrative is way more important.
challenge life
I think in life we want to challenge ourselves.
again character concerned laughs makeup maybe physical sound staying tried worked wrong
we were concerned we were going to sound too broad, and maybe get laughs in the wrong way. We tried to fine-tune it a little, staying kind of neutral. Part of the transformation in any character is a new way of speaking. Also the physical look. Once again I worked with Toni G, who did my makeup for 'Monster.'
