Noah Baumbach writing is really wonderful. I think the way he plays out each character with a unique voice is really impressive, and rhythmically his dialogue works.
Some movies are the kind you take home with you at the end of the day, and some, you can let go.
You're always nervous about how a film lands with an audience.
The use of violence in movies is a subject that's worth addressing. I'm not standing on a soapbox or wagging a finger, but I'm interested in those subjects for sure.
Directors are our teachers, and I'm always craving to work with a great director. They're pretty much the first thing that interests me about a project.
I want collaboration, but if they don't have a plan or their vision isn't clear, it's nerve-wracking. So, someone that's very sure of the vision is what you want, most of all.
Female roles in comedies are usually quite silly, I think.
It seems like a lot when you have three movies back to back but that's not really how it is.
I think in my 20s I was just all about having fun.
I love the energy and the knowledge. I barely know how to use this thing [mobile phone]. I get by.
I go to a dance class myself called BBS - Body By Simone - its little mini dance routines and I am often the oldest person in the room although I forget that. I'm fairly fit.
I have a bit of a frustrated dancer in me.
We had met with Ben Stiller here in LA when I was shooting The Ring and he was doing Meet The Fockers and we have friends in common. But we didn't know each other well. He's fantastic and we really had a great time on this and we were both laughing at where we were at, this other couple, and how it was mirroring what we were going through as well. It was clever writing in that way.
I meditate. I do transcendental meditation and I have been doing that for a long time and that does just clear the mind. I am not religious at all.
