Lots Of People There Seemed To Be

There Were Moments Where I Was Being Kicked In The Stomach, And Even Though I Had This Brace On To Protect Me, I Still Had To Prepare Myself For It . You Can't Be Relaxed When That's Happening. You Have To Brace Your Muscles. I Can Remember Thinking As It Was About To Happen "wasn't That How Houdini Died?" I Think It Was.

I'm Physically Completely Mal-coordinated. My Best Friend Used To Make Me Run For The Bus Just To Give Herself A Quick, Cheap Laugh Because I Definitely Don't Have That Sophisticated Cool Thing Down.

I Wake Up Early. At 6:30 A.m., I'm At My Most Optimistic.

Good People Can Do Terrible Things, And That's What Life Is All About, The Complexities And Grey Areas. And Often Characters Aren't Written That Way In Movies, Especially Characters For Women. So You End Up Being Either One Thing Or The Other.

The Ratings Thing Is The Real Issue. It Really Hurts Movies. For Example, In Redbelt, I Smoked. The Whole Plot Of My Character Was Based On The Fact That I Was A Smoker. And Then They Discovered That Just By Having Someone Smoking In The Movie, It Immediately Makes The Rating An R. So They Had To Cut Out Every Shot Where I Had A Cigarette In My Hand And It Totally Affected The Performance. That Was Very Frustrating To David Mamet As Well. I Can Remember Him Saying, "it's A Nightmare."
