If you try to go for a laugh, it's death to the comedy. Personally, that's how I approach comedy. But I'm no expert.

I haven't only been offered Hasidic roles.

That was me under the bath and the water being held down. The director wanted it to look as real as possible so he told Keanu, in front of me, don't go easy on her. So it was scary.

As Ralph's character begins to discover the political thriller aspect of the film, he falls deeper in love with his wife, so the two run together. That's the beauty of this film. It has fast pace and excitement, but it also has heart and soul.

If I'm just in dungarees, I don't think I would intimidate anyone.

I don't think balance is something you get from someone else; it's something women have to find from within. For me, finding balance is still a work in progress.

I really wanted to do a comedy. I've done a lot of drama, and comedy was the one genre I was not being offered. So I became obsessive about getting one. I tried with two little parts in comedies that were more mainstream, I was kind of fumbling around, and then I read The Brothers Bloom and knew it was the one I wanted to jump into. Did it take adjusting? Actually, it's not really any different from doing drama.
