I was comfortable with the words, ... Most times I find myself trying to rewrite parts of my character, but not this time.
I don't try to be sexy, but if you are sexy it comes out. If you're not, you're not.
I try not to do scenes a certain way, because then I become conscious of it, and it dosen't come off as realistic. I try to make it so that I'm not really aware of what I'm doing.
I've been lucky to find people who want to work with me, whom I respect and like, but the truth is there aren't that many good projects out there. And we make way, way too many movies. So it's not always going to happen with every project. But I try and wait it out.
I like people more undone than made up. Patricia Arquette is the ultimate. She's not anorexic or perfectly tan, she's not trying to be anything but what she is, and that's the most sexy thing.
My mom raised me so wonderfully. She gave me self esteem and made me appreciate my flaws, as well as my strengths.
My mom lived a much different airline experience, ... She was working Lufthansa in first class. So it was about passing out the caviar. Claire in this movie was a little bit more blue collar. But the one thing I did figure out is that Claire imagines her life as being as glamorous as my mom's airline life was many years ago.
I was excited to do a movie like this because the part is done for you. It's a beautifully-written character. A lot of times you're making it up as you go.
Tobey can cry just like that. Whenever I have a crying scene, I have to listen to sad music, put my headphones on and kind of zone out.
Her words are like the music of a song. No wonder this guy falls for her.
Nobody has wanted all of me as much as she has, ... She lets things happen. She lets mistakes happen.
She is honest and upfront to a fault. She doesn't have a lot of fear. She's dorky and doesn't care, and in that way she's cool.
May favorite food at the moment is Pasta, "with tons of shaved Parmesan on the side. Not crumbly but like the hunks, you know what I mean...when you get the thin slices.
Madonna is my role model she's such a powerful woman. I love Gwenyth Paltrow, she's an actress I aspire to be like. And, of course, my mom. She drove me from New Jersey to New York every day for commercials so I could get where I am today.
