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 had a non-existent knowledge of Queen Victoria's early years. Like everyone else, I thought of her as an old lady dressed in black. My mom had told me about her, though, that she had a very loving relationship with Albert, that they had lots of kids, and that he died young.
I think it is nice for people to appreciate a slow-burning, beautiful story that makes you feel good when it is over.
Why should you have to atone for making big movies?
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?
As long as everyone is playing for the scene or the movie, rather than themselves, then you're going to have something really good.
You can go at the premiere it's at Disneyland.
I don't really watch that much TV, to be honest.
With Ricky Gervais, it's all shades of wrong, it's my kind of humor.
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.
Watch the History Channel if you want it literal and historically perfect.
I almost broke my coccyx on 'The Wolf Man,' and I banged my head once. I had to fall really hard.
After this interview, I'm going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card, just like any other normal person.
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.
Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
I think for me the job always has to be the right thing at the right time.
If you're in America a lot, it's easy to get into playing American. All of it, the sounds, the energies, all very different. But it's really hard to do the accent. I tend to try and stay in it all day, which is the only way I can manage it.
I would love to be on Broadway!
What's wonderful about Into The Woods is that you have a combination of all the most famous fairytales in this one story.
