We were there [ in the newsroom] through the elections [2008] so it was quite a frenzy going on. The other thing I learn is that journalists are very messy.

During a movie, chemistry is so important, and yet they just assume actors can fake their way through it. That doesn't always work.

I learn that you can work really hard and still have a great time. That is part of Russell Crowe philosophy.

I don't know, I like to go on really different types of dates. Going someplace new or some new part of the city, something that's not your average thing. Something where you just go have an adventure together.

I was kind of reading you know Judy Blume and stuff like that. But yeah, but I've since educated myself.

In this film [The Last King of Scotland] I am the rooky in the cast. Everyone has miles of experience than me and Della is in the same situation, so life imitated art in many ways. I don't think I could be a journalist. I wouldn't make a very good journalist, especially in Washington and working in politics, which I think would be really tough.

Running through airports with pounds of luggage - that's a good workout.
