I think audiences, producers and directors included, develop crushes on actors (actresses in particular) and then lose interest and move on to the next one.

I’ve really turned a corner recently in terms of not taking work too seriously, so it is much easier for me to not take my work home.

Bill Pullman is older than Aaron Eckhart - although I was older too - and the age difference changes the play. My perspective on those issues had changed a lot. Without going into nerdy details about that play, there was something that still stuck with me. I still had the same joy in that dialogue and David Mamet's rhythm in terms of his writing. I felt like there was still something to explore.

There are a handful of actors who sustain interest because it's exciting to watch them get better at what they do. I want to be one of those actors.

It's not my job to critique the writing. I'm there to serve it. I had to figure out a way to make it work.

I think women get caught up too much in having a plan - 'I'm going to get married at this age I'm going to have a kid at this age' - and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don't want my life to be based on that.

If I'm gong out to a club I like to have fun with it. I'll use blue or red sparkly eyeliners and glittery eye shadows. Then I'll put on some blue mascara. I focus on the eyes.
