I've been involved with some huge studio projects that have been bloody awesome. It all starts with a great script, doesn't it?
If people want to criticize a performance, that I understand. I think that's important.
But, I love making independent films. I love it! You create a family, and you sweat, you bleed, you cry, you shout, you laugh and you hug. It's such an extraordinary experience, making independent films.
When you're first in love with somebody, and it's not true love, it's borderline obsession, it's kind of like an addiction. You switch into this weird, weird part of your mind when you just can't live without that person. And you want to envelop them. You want them flowing through your veins.
Daniel Radcliffe is one of the hardest working people I have ever encountered and someone that so loves what he's doing and so eager to learn and is so brilliant at what he does.
You can learn from getting to watch some of your favourite actors and actresses on-set. It's fascinating. It's amazing how professional someone like Eva Green is about work. It's inspiring. In reality, they're human beings who are really good at their job. So, that's really exciting to be around.
I think fame and all that madness, people taking your pictures all the time, drives me insane. It's a catch 22...the more they take pictures of you, the more upset you get by it and the more crazy you look and the more pictures they take of you. I think it's disgusting what's happened with that kind of celebrity culture right now.
It's better not to read your reviews. Just go and do the thing... it would drive you crazy otherwise.
My dad, Julien Temple, is unbelievable, so supportive. He's helped me to make such important decisions and he's so proud. I really admire him... I think he's one of the most talented people in this industry, so to have him be proud of what I'm doing is incredible.
I'm not someone who doesn't want to see the films, but I like to see them as an end product when the whole nuance of the character is put together.
A big thing for me is trusting the director, so I don't need to watch playback. I feel like the director is gonna tell me whether it's right or not.
I think seeing films should be interactive. I'd rather have people see a film that I'm in and either absolutely love it or absolutely hate it, than be like, "Oh, yeah, it was good." That's the worst!
You can't really help people until you've helped yourself first.
It's important to not be naive about this world and know that it's not necessarily a good place to be.
For me, there is safety in playing a woman that is very sexualized and having a woman direct you with that.
Men and women just look at sex in very, very different ways.
Being a woman is a very powerful thing, I think, and you don't want to abuse that.
I like to leave the movie theater and still be thinking about the film and questioning why the character did that.
I think film should be interactive. But at the same time, it's also great to go see a big popcorn movie and be taken to a complete fantasy world.
I think it's important to find projects that evoke people into conversation. It's like reading a good book. You want to talk about it.
If people want to criticize a performance, that I understand. I think that's important. What's going on with this industry now is crazy. That obsession with celebrity is madness. I try as hard as I can not to read that stuff. Because most of the time it's a bit... factual. And it's frustrating because it's not about what you're setting out to do as an actor.
I hadn't really even been thinking about TV. To me, it seemed like such a commitment, almost like a marriage.
There are two movies where I keep my clothes on. My parents will be very proud. They're challenging characters, which I'm excited about.
It's quite quick for me to know if I want to play a character or not.
