I Also Love Horror Movies;

I Say It Was Like This Accidental Research That I Did For Eight Years. I Had No Idea I Was Researching The Role Of My Career. But Yeah, And There Was This One Casting Director Named Allison Jones, And For Five Years She Would Call Me In Every Year For A Different Tv Show And She Just Really Was A Big Supporter Of Mine.

That Character In Solitary Man Is Probably Most Like Me In Real Life: A Solid Person Who Has A Good Head On Her Shoulders And Is Very Driven And Practical, And Not Afraid To Set Boundaries. That's Sort Of My Center. I Come From The Same Place As The Character In Solitary Man.

I Don't Know If This Is True Of Everyone, But I Have This Relationship With My Parents Where, Despite However Mature Or Articulate Or Grown-up I Think I've Become, As Soon As I Go Home, I Turn Into This Petulant 13-year-old, Especially With The Tone Of My Voice.

Finally, I Was Called For "the Office" And I Was Really Lucky, Because A Lot Of The Shows That I Went Out For I Would Work My Way Up From, Like, An Audition With The Casting Director To The Director To The Producers To The Studio, I'd Go Through Seven Auditions, And Then They'd Give The Role To A Famous Actress.

I Always Worry That People Are Going To Be Very Confused; Sometimes Timelines Get Confused With How Movies Get Made. So When I Say, "oh, I Made This Movie When I Was Going Through A Divorce," People Think, "oh No! She's Pregnant With A Child And Divorced?"
