Everything you do is different, and you find different chords in every character that you play that strike true with you.
I don't feel the obligation to be a specific weight. I don't feel like I have to fit into a body that's not my body. I have the body I have and I try to maintain it.
I'm good with dialect. Some actors do it immediately; other actors never quite get it. It's something I've always really enjoyed and something I've always been pretty fast with.
I'm just in work mode, and that prevents me from going into the Hollywood starlet mode, I suppose.
You have Cameron Crowe write an incredible monologue for you just based on the things that you're talking about. It just became this opportunity that was too exciting a process to pass up.
I'm terrified to ride a bike in a city - and I grew up riding bikes in the city. I've just heard enough stories - I have enough friends who've been hit by taxicabs and things.
My grandmother was also an active member of the tenants association and a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party, and both of my parents were extremely liberal, so I think I grew up in a household that was very politically conscious - we all watched the elections on TV, and we watched the debates. So it was an awareness that we were raised with, and as we grew into young adults, we just naturally became politically active. It was just understood that it was important, that it was our responsibility.
I've always wanted to work with Cameron Crowe. I've auditioned for him several times for various projects over the last ten years, and I've always admired the way he worked with me.
I love musicals, I started acting because I wanted to be in a musical.
As an actor, anything that you have to help get you into character is helpful.
