I sort of always had an inkling towards some kind of an art form. I grew up in a very small town, and I just figure-skated. My dad played hockey and I was surrounded by sports, but it wasn't quite doing it for me. I wasn't totally fulfilled, and I did a lot of skating.

The Washington Post was interesting because it's such a politically minded newspaper.

I use filming as an excuse to take classes. I got my certification in sailing for 'Wedding Crashers,' and now I can handle a 26-foot boat. I played a seamstress once, so I took sewing classes. I love dipping into these other lives.

My mother never put an emphasis on looks. She let us grow up on our own time line. She never forced any beauty regimen into my world.

I've always liked dressing up. And I love a high heel - the higher the better. I just feel funny in flats.

Often with film, I find that you're just really getting to know a person. They're just starting to sink in, and then you wrap the film.
