I Get Really Excited Every

As An Actress You're Perpetually About To Be Unemployed. That Fear - When You Have Two Parents Who Worked 9-to-5 Jobs And Went Through Periods Of Being Unemployed - Is Real. Those Were Not Welcome Times In My Childhood. Working 14 Hours A Day Isn't Sustainable, But I Prefer It To Doing Fewer Films. I Might As Well Be Doing The Thing That I Wanted To Do My Whole Life.

You Can Relax More When You're Playing A Silly Character Than When You're Playing A Really Rigid Character. But To Be Fair, I Think George Clooney Is A Bigger Teenager Than Any Of The 'twilight' Cast. He's The Guy Throwing A Football At Your Head And Then Hiding Around The Corner, Pretending It Wasn't Him!

You Can't Tell An Audience To Like A Character. And I Think The Best Way To Get The Audience On Someone's Side Is To Embarrass Them.

I Guess As Long As People Think Of Me For Different Ages, I'll Trust Their Opinion. I Remember Noticing One Year That Michelle Monaghan Played 34 And 19, So I've Kind Of Clung To That As My Justification That I Can Be Jake Gyllenhaal's Wife And A Freshman In College In The Same Year.

I Fall In Love With Characters When They're Out Of Their Element Or Are Uncomfortable And You Really Feel For Them In A Knee-jerk Sympathetic Way.
