I fully credit my family for keeping me grounded and for putting me back in line whenever necessary.

Because I was able to submerge myself into the character, I didn't have to go back and forth. You don't have to work hard to bring emotions. It all just comes naturally, you're there living it.

I'd taken three years off to live as a normal person, so this was my first time back into it, and it was kind of shocking, but then it was fun.

Hong Kong girls have a genius sense of style. I came back to the States thinking no one here has any individuality. Or cute enough socks.

I never thought of Kim Basinger in terms of age. For me she embodies woman with her subtleties and intricacies. She's sensual and intellectually engaging, elegant with a very strong personal style.

For me everything in the film was gradually building, becoming more emotional, so it helped. At the end of it all I was emotionally drained. At that point I took Rose's view, that this has to happen, there's nothing I can do about it.
