There's a lot of time sitting in movies, so you can put alligators in people's trailers in your spare time. So it [making a film] moves slower, which in some ways is great, because you can live with a scene and invest in it a lot. And in some ways it's hard, because sometimes you can start to lose your energy a little bit, but both are fun.

I haven't read the comic book. I didn't even know there was one until about halfway though. Helen Mirren and I were talking about that actually, who also felt kind of silly. When we had to run she was like, 'Oh God, we're both going to get fired.' The running sequences, it's a particular kind of humiliation because it's fun.

I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.

With TV, there's a continuum with the crew and the cast so you feel like you have a sense of community in a way, which is similar to theater.

The first thing I ever bought for myself was a green Lacoste shirt.

I don't think anyone honestly would hire me, so I don't think I have to worry but, if it was well written I would do it. I would do anything.

I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face.
