Of course it would depend on the project, but I don't think I could ever separate myself from my aesthetic.
After 'Wedding Crashers' I was just surprised as to the lack of comedic female material there is. So I had to start working and getting stuff out there for myself.
For me, making films is about trying to work something out by myself in quite a lonely way. I find the whole thing very lonely really.
All I had done for five years was work 18 hours a day all over the world. I needed to step back and distance myself from it.
I can't just decide myself what's being built. Someone decides what they want, then I work for them.
I think about the work I've landed, and I think to myself, 'If I never land a job again, I could still die happy.'
Not everyone likes watching rushes, but it makes me work harder, and I don't feel I am watching myself, but watching the progression of the character.
If I wasn't so insecure about myself I wouldn't work as hard as I do. I am constantly seeking approval.
I used to lie awake at night, willing myself to put in the hard work, the determination, the passion.
I'm interested in generating work for myself. I have trouble with this waiting-for-the-phone-to-ring lifestyle, especially after drama school, which was so creatively fulfilling.
Most of the people nowadays send their things by internet. But I cannot work that way. I like to do it myself.
Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.
When you agree to work with a filmmaker, it's important that you accept their world. It's an adventure. I like that. I throw myself into the director's arms, into their universe.
I like to think that I represent myself as a strong woman, so to work with other strong women I find very inspiring.
No one told me about boys. I had to figure it out myself. The first thing I learned was that sometimes they grow slower than women mentally.
I am very much in favor of women's rights, being a woman myself, and I support intelligent, successful, independent working women.
I've been very much intrigued by and impressed with women. But I've never been intimidated. Even if I make a fool of myself, it's better to have tried.
I always loved you, Will, whatever you did. And now I need you to do for me what I cannot do for myself. For you to be my eyes when I do not have them. For you to be my hands when I cannot use my own. For you to be my hear when mine is done with beat...
By trying to export myself into a place that didn't fully exist I asked works of art to bear my expectation that they could be better than life, that they could redeem life. In fact, I believe they are, and do. My life is dedicated to that belief. Bu...
I went to say no, but I winced as I pulled my tooth out of my lip. I was absolutely hopeless. In a two minute period my front curls had started to go straight due to my constant brushing them behind my ears and I was pretty sure my lip was bleeding. ...
I fear one day I’ll get a knock at my front door, and I’ll answer it to find myself standing there. Then I’ll hear myself say, “Hi, I’m from the future, and I’m here to destroy you.” But that is irrational. The future me isn’t out to ...
