Sometimes the director will want you to write about the character, sometimes he'll want you to live in the location that the character is from or something like that, but I don't usually make a lot of notes or anything like that.

I wouldn't go down the route of having an assistant. I don't want to be like that. I want to be normal.

I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I've finished reading the script.

I'm all right, not as good as my mom is. Maybe because I don't have kids.

That's what acting is. You're pretending to be someone else.

I don't think you could get anything worse than losing a child. I think if my child died, I would prefer it if I were dead.

Lindsay Lohan was the 'It' girl from, like, 14. That's a lot of pressure.
