Before 'Twilight ' occasionally I would get the 'Hey are you that girl from that movie?' but no one knew my first and last name. The fans of the saga are amazing and it's very flattering.
If you have only 95 minutes of material make an only 95-minute movie. Amazing how often that's forgotten.
I filmed 'Albatross' before I got 'Downton.' It's a coming-of-age movie about this girl who leaps into this family's life like a whirlwind. She's ballsy and brash and wonderful it was such an amazing character to play.
I've been very fortunate to be able to jump around. I just did this really wonderful film called Map of the World. That was a real amazing dramatic story. Then I did a movie called Company Men a little comedy about the Bay of Pigs.
What an amazing opportunity to do something like direct a movie and step out of your creative comfort zone and yet do something that is also so familiar at the same time. I was also just excited to have the chance to direct which I may never get to do again.
It's amazing that for actors mostly it's a risk to attach yourself to a film that you don't know whether or not it's going to even be made and if you sign on in doing so who else is going to be in the movie with you.
When Maurice touched a keyboard it was like something from a movie magical. He would always give you something from a movie and you'd go what did you just play... immediately inspirational writings amazing. That's what we're going to miss.
The business that people do in LA on the social level is amazing. You go to a restaurant bump into this guy or that guy. The next day you get a call and they want you in their movie.
The last real movie stars were probably Redford and Newman. And things were different then. There wasn't this amazing amount of magazines and information about them.
I still think that movies are amazing I respect actors and directors.
