I was watching 'Up In The Air' and I thought 'Jesus who's the old gray-haired guy?' And it was me. I never wear makeup for movies and now it's starting to show.
Four hours of makeup and then an hour to take it off. It's tiring. I go in I get picked up at two-thirty in the morning I get there at three. I wait four hours go through it ready to work at seven work all day long for twelve hours and get it taken off for an hours go home and go to sleep and do the same thing again.
It really depends but generally speaking just because of the mechanics of it voice-over is easier because there is no hair no makeup no wardrobe no fittings no line memorizing. You don't have to me woken up in Russia at 6 in the morning and go film a scene. It's just easier on the body the family life to do voice-overs.
Sometimes it's so weird just to do an interview. This morning I was back in my parents' house with my brother and we went for a jog together then had breakfast as a family. And a couple of hours later I'm wearing high heels and a dress and makeup and talking about my job.
I had to take my makeup off at work every night. I wasn't allowed to do it at home because my mom said that when your work day is done you're done with work.
I'm interested in learning more about myself and what I value in myself and letting that be the beautiful part of me rather than putting on the makeup or wearing the right designer.
I hope my music sets up the platform for me to be able to do lots of things - to have a cowboy-boot line maybe or do a perfume or makeup deal.
I'm a better person in a relationship and I'm a happier person. I need to come home at the end of the day and have it not be about me and my freaking hair and makeup and character motivations anymore. And I think my work is more inspired when home is safe and sound and solid because what I do for a living is so bananas and so insecure.
I like to maintain a certain sense of fantasy in my life. I am kind of like that at home. Do I have the full hair and makeup? No. But I might have the nice dress on.
The only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.
