It's a very simple and rather sort of a primitive feeling when you read a script.

When they see that, they know exactly what it is without having to read it.

It was supposed to be an Asian girl, so when I read the script I said, 'How am I going convince John Singleton that what he needs is a crazy Latin woman?' But I did. I got lucky.

Even when you read the script of 'Big Fish,' which is really a terrific script, you don't really get into the world that he's creating until you take that step with him, that first step into a world he's created in his mind.

It was awesome. Everyone was getting a little tingly when the banner was going up. It was a great feeling. Great for us to be part of something like this and it was even more special for me because I got to play with him for a couple of years and it couldn't happen to a better guy.

I got the script, read the script, really liked it,
