What I try to do - and I think this is the former librarian in me - is to get primary source material.

I'd love to work with Michelle Williams. I think that she's incredible. She's such a great actress and I love her.

I think my background in film taught me that a great book adaptation is not always slavishly faithful to the source material.

I actually think I think better in high heels.

I think it's important to do a good job and not to feel that you've got to make grand gestures, but just to get on and deliver.

When I try to understand somebody, create a character, I fall into them. When I think writers are telling me what to think, I get harrumphy.
