I think a shot can actually influence a scene in a huge way. For example, comedy is always better in a two-shot. What's between the characters is what's funny. So you learn about these things as you go along.

As long as everyone is playing for the scene or the movie, rather than themselves, then you're going to have something really good.

The business is all about gush and hype. You never have a bad meeting in L.A.

I find that it really helps that I live in the States. I'm married to an American, and I have lots of American friends.

It's very hard to play the straight lead girl and still make her sparkly and fun and real.

I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.

If you're very open to watching the world go by, with people's different tics, you absorb it all without realizing it and find ways to put something into your character. I'm not sure I'm always aware I'm mimicking someone.
