Claire is a role that easily could be unsympathetic and one-dimensional, but the always wonderful Davis softens her intrusiveness with genuine concern for her sister. |
He's really not like other people. He marches to the beat of a different drummer. (Working opposite him) he's very unpredictable. He's always coming at it with a new twist, so it was really interesting. He's extremely inventive. |
I could relate to that, ... I'm a Vassar girl. We were taught to stand up for ourselves. |
I do feel I get called to troubleshoot parts that could be so unsympathetic, ... I don't mind that. To me, they seem like juicy roles. They are characters in conflict, but they are not despicable. I'd rather be this kind of wife than a woman wringing her hands at home saying, 'When is he coming back?' |
I do remember that first night. We attempted to fill the pool and discovered it had a leak. I think Michael Ritchie patched a leak. I remember him standing there with a garden hose, filling this tremendous pool. He was just determined. |
I like to work. I enjoy once a year, doing a film. What was hard was when I came to London for ( Proof ) rehearsals, (and) I had to leave her. But it's good for her to see that I work. I'm home all the rest of the time. It doesn't feel sad now. |
I thought the 20s were really hard, |
In the case of these two siblings I was really interested in exploring how two people who grew up in the same damaged and strange household emerged with such divergent world views. I don't mind at all being the bossy one or the pushy one. She was a very juicy character for me to play. |
It's the way I want it to be. |
Proof. |
Sometimes being real means being unsympathetic, ... I don't worry too much about being liked. That's not my first priority. I'd rather play someone people might identify with. If I sign on to do something I believe in, I'm trying to play what the writer wrote. And I hope that the audience will understand where the character is coming from. |
The film's interested in exploring how two siblings, who grew up in the same house, could have such divergent world views. |
Usually the wife and mother who's left behind is the wronged one, the one holding the family together, ... In this case, she's just as self-absorbed as he is and isn't too much better with the kids. |
We kind of don't know how to feel. But 'Infamous' is a very different film. It's different in tone. It involves kind of a larger cast of characters. |
We're trying to help express community outrage and make sure this doesn't happen again, |
