I don't think I'm the best singer in the world, for sure, but I loved doing it in 'Into the Woods.' I'll always find it tough, singing in front of people.
It's nothing to be ashamed of to have a stutter.
I don't really watch that much TV, to be honest.
I love character roles. I'm happier in them. I look for roles that have some kind of complexity.
What's wonderful about Into The Woods is that you have a combination of all the most famous fairytales in this one story.
As long as everyone is playing for the scene or the movie, rather than themselves, then you're going to have something really good.
My personal feeling is that audiences are crying out for stories they can invest in and feel. I see a lot of big movies that leave me feeling rather numb.
I'm not much of a crier but it is mildly soul-destroying and exposing to do something physical that you are terrible at in front of other people.
You feel very much like a puppet, but it had been what I was accustomed to - so you just get on with it and try to find something that rings true.
I find that it really helps that I live in the States. I'm married to an American, and I have lots of American friends.
I'm such a diva on set.
Personally, I'm an advocate for short engagements. Long sometimes means there is a reason for it. Two years engaged and no wedding... I'd be upset.
To not make any resolutions. Whenever I make them, I wind up ultimately breaking them. I think a lot of people are that way, so I am going to try and avoid inevitable disappointment next year and just not make any.
I'm on a health kick! I'm drawn to cheeseburgers, so I've got to just try and keep it on an even keel.
I'm a big supporter of Joe Johnston and I think that 'Captain America' is going to be really fun and I gather that the story is really interesting. It just wasn't what I wanted to do next, to be honest.
It's a big chip on my shoulder that I have not been to any of his parties - P. Diddy, Diddy Puff. But he was super nice to me. And he does look sharp, that guy. Doesn't ever go wrong with a suit.
With Ricky Gervais, it's all shades of wrong, it's my kind of humor.
I think that's almost what it is sometimes if you sum up what acting is. It's just the ultimate expression of empathy.
I'm not someone who likes to plan too much ahead.
When I read a script, I'll have a very visceral gut reaction to what does this mean to me? How does she feel in my skin? Could I play this role?
I think I'm drawn to characters with complexity or who are under duress in some way and have some conflict going on.
I'm about to do my second Bikram yoga class in Anchorage, Alaska. It's the only way to stay warm. I've got to get into shape. I've been eating nothing but fish and chips.
It's nerve-wracking singing in front of people. I think that's why most people get drunk for karaoke.
Give us a break! I've hardly done anything but independent films.
It's nice to play someone who is naive.
I'm definitely not a science nerd. That was not my forte at school.
I think a shot can actually influence a scene in a huge way. For example, comedy is always better in a two-shot. What's between the characters is what's funny. So you learn about these things as you go along.
It's funny, because when you work on a set, everyone is watching you. You are being observed by everyone.
After this interview, I'm going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card, just like any other normal person.
It's very hard to play the straight lead girl and still make her sparkly and fun and real.
