Quotes
 People
say that chivalry is dead, I don't think that it's dead, I think it's
just got the 'flu!
You
don't go, 'Wow! I get to do a nude scene.' But I love the sex scene in
this movie. It was scary, honest and raw. But people could find my body
very unattractive. There could be a backlash against it.
Fame
is also a test of character at times... Sometimes I pass the test;
sometimes I'm a pain in the ass. Sometimes I'm like, 'Oh, God! I just
want to buy some tampons!'
It
would be really great if people would realize that stars are only people
with the same weaknesses and flaws, not immaculate idols.
Neither
of us, me nor Dennis, is cavalier about a breakup. We both behaved very
honorably.
The
best thing about modern living is anaesthesia. Definitely.
The
e-mail relationships that I have are kind of fantastic, because I think
you get to fill in your relationships a little bit if you actually get
the time to sit down and compose a note to someone.
We
wrapped a year and a half ago and [since then] ... I've been to fights
and watch fights. It's nuts.
Clearly
romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don't mind saying that, it's
true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them. I don't feel
particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of
things. Whether they're seen or not is another issue.
The
ultimate date for me would be with someone fantastic, fun and great -
and we'd go to the Lennox Lewis/Mike Tyson fight.
He's
a very specific actor. You know, he's so capable - just the way he deals
with props is amazing.
It
was so organic. I went walking round New York with Jane, and we saw this
little nihilistic cartoon character, Emily the Strange, on a t-shirt. So
that's where the idea for the hair came from.
I
also got to dye it brown, which was kind of cool, because I was able to
walk around New York and nobody said anything. That hadn't happened in
quite a while and it was really liberating. I liked it.
I
felt I was in such sure hands with Jane, I didn't really feel it
required an extreme amount of bravery on my part. I do think that the
character is extremely brave, though. We often talked about her as a
warrior, because she's a very unlikely person to risk her heart for a
guy.
It
would be really great if people would realize that stars are only people
with the same weaknesses and flaws, not immaculate idols.
Well
it wasn't at all like anything I usually receive. I've never done a
thriller. This kind of character is a really interior person and I know
that Jane's interested in expressing interior life on screen, and has
always found different visual languages to do that in.
So,
yeah, it was a cool opportunity to do something new. I also always liked
movies from the 70s where there is an anti-hero, and I felt Jane really
hooked into that sort of type.
There
is something about the sport that is so filmic ... there is something
about the availability and the purity of these two guys who are
absolutely stripped down to a very, very primal contest.
It
was not a healthy marriage for long time. It was never about another
man, it was about what my and Dennis's relationship could not sustain.
There
is something about the sport that is so filmic ... there is something
about the availability and the purity of these two guys who are
absolutely stripped down to a very, very primal contest.
Um,
well, it's not the day you look forward to. You see it coming up on the
schedule and it's like, "Uuuurgh." They were done on the last
couple of days, in a really protected environment. They were very
choreographed, we knew every shot and every angle, and Jane was
incredibly collaborative about it.
