After โMelancholiaโ and โOn the Road,โ I wanted to do a comedy. And I did so many comedies when I was younger, but if youโre not consistently in those movies, people donโt always think of you for them.
Kirsten DunstAs an actress, there's a lot of waiting. You wait for a script to come in that you want to do. You get to a point where you decide that if you want good things to be made, you're going to have to start making them yourself as an actress. You can't just wait around for it. But you can also just enjoy the breaks, and use them to kind of refuel. I've been working so long at this point that I don't mind the breaks. I think they make me better, actually.
Kirsten DunstIt's nice when the movie is not on your shoulders, too. It's fun to do a smaller part sometimes.
