I loved going to films, but as far as a movie buff, when I came into the movies at 16, life changed a little bit for me, from an onlooker to a person that lived within the industry. So now I would call myself a different sort of fan.

I wanted to be as comfortable in that environment as she was. I moved around those areas in character.

I began as a true beginner, not knowing how to dance or perform. I just entered a local contest in town as a joke, because if you entered you got a free blouse and scarf.

I do a lot of things wrong. I lose my temper, and I hate waiting in line, but do I take drugs? No.

A lot of people don't feel like doing very much. Or one project is really all they can do at one time. I can have five or six things going at the same time. It doesn't bother me or tire me, but sometimes it does rattle me.

I'm not a big shoot-em-up, bang-bang. I like romantic films.

Singin' in the Rain (1952) and childbirth were the two hardest things I ever had to do in my life.
