I think you approach a part the same way and just find out in what's making them tick and who they are. In a movie like this you may have a little less time and few dialogue scenes and exposition scenes for your character to really get that across, and so I wanted to be able to convey that she's not somebody who's just punching a clock but she has this weird emotional investment in her job to where she does get quite myopic and that's what makes her relentless.

Were I not married to the director, I'm not sure I'd know anything about the 'Underworld' sequel.

I feel like my brain is more geared towards a novel than it is to a movie.

I feel like I've done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.

I think actors always like to think they don't bring the character home, and then their family all laugh and tell you otherwise.

I think that dwelling on other people's perception of you is the road to complete madness, unfortunately. I try and resist that.

I can't tell you how many times I've gone to present at the Golden Globes, come home, whipped the dress off and read to my daughter wearing gazillion-dollar earrings. That's how it goes in my house, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
