*QUOTES*
"Half my directors have no idea about my family situation. [Stealign Beauty director] Bernardo [Bertolucci] had no idea who Aerosmith was. People always want to take away from the work that you did, like they want to think it was easy, somehow. I got those parts because I worked hard to get them."
"I think,it was a smart idea to shoot it all at once, because the characters will be much more complete and convincing. We were living as those characters for a year and a half."
"It's very funny, and we really laughed a lot while we were making it and I could always tell how happy the director was by how hard he laughed behind the monitor (laughs)."
About the way she chooses her roles.
"I have great patience and I’m willing to wait until that [special] thing comes along. For me, it’s all about the director. It’s not about it being a vehicle for me, or some big part or the movie has to be a hit. It’s not about that kind of stuff. Sometimes I’ll find a story I really like or a script I really like and the director might not be attached yet or maybe I won’t think the director’s really right, and so I won’t do it. I am a slave to the director in a lot of senses. A lot of it is me, I’m the one embodying the character, but I want to be able to trust and be guided by genius, nothing less than that."
About Peter Jackson.
"He always wears shorts! It could be snowing in New Zealand and he wears shorts all day long. It’s hard to talk about it in a short amount of time because it was a year and a half, a long experience. But Peter was really sweet and really smart."
"I love my dad, although I'm definitely critical of him sometimes, like when his pants are too tight. ... But I love him so much and I try to be really supportive of him."
About acting.
"It's terrifying. It's so scary, because you get used to being around the crew and being friendly with everyone and then suddenly, at a certain point, everything switches and you're the one standing behind the lights and nobody's going to help you. And that can be really difficult sometimes."
About Elvish language.
"It's an amazing thing, really," she gushes, "It's a legitimate language. There are only a certain amount of people in the world who can speak it, like Oxford professors and what not. It's such a beautiful language too, it's really brilliant."
About working with Kevin Smith and Ben Affleck on Jersey Girl
"I had a great time working with Kevin and Ben. I really like acting with Ben. He is a very generous actor and is always very present in the scenes. I feel free to try anything with him and that is not something I feel all the time with actors. I think we work well together. Kevin is hysterical! He is always making me laugh and is such a great writer. He writes really well-rounded female characters. My character is smart, funny, brave and kind. I really enjoyed playing the part because she had so many great qualities. Many times female parts are lacking in depth but I feel Kevin really likes women, is interested in them, and knows how to write them well."
