QUOTES:
The thing to remember is that the work comes first, and not to get distracted by anything else. If you keep focused on the work, everything else will fall into place. That’s my mantra now.
I’ve heard some duff Irish accents. The worst must be Mickey Rourke.
I spend my money on holidays and eating out, and it allows me to be generous.
I never forget that I’m extremely fortunate.

A pioneer into illusion, an adventurer into the unknown. To give beyond reason, to care beyond hope, to love without limit; to reach, stretch and dream in spite of your fears. These are the hallmarks of divinity-traits of the immortal-your badges of honor. Your light has illuminated darkened paths, your gaze has lifted broken spirits, and already your life has changed the course of history.

QUOTES:
In Falling Skies (2011) I was playing a soldier and a fighter, and then, when I was taken captive, you’re still in this post-apocalyptic world.
“Terrible” is not a word I would use in shooting romantic scenes with Scott Speedman.
For the spouse of someone in the service, you are your own provider, your own lover, your own best friend while that person’s gone–the mother and father if you have kids.
At different times in your life, your body needs different things.
I loved The Chicago Code (2011); I watched that a lot. It was great because it really captured the city–I’m from Chicago, too.

QUOTES:
We know that’s the bottom line: if money is made, the powers that be pay attention.
I’ve tried to be flexible in my career by doing a little bit of everything and that’s worked for me.
It’s funny that until I actually met my husband, I never thought I’d get married.
There’s a difference between actresses of color and actresses not of color. If you look at how big my movies are.

QUOTES:
I’ve been offered a couple of leads in some movies that really suck. I mean, you know, if they’re offering me the lead, the script ain’t that great. The stuff that’s good, I’m a little further down the cast list.
This is a tough town to live in if you’re not relevant. I’m not making my decisions based on the fear of that. But there’s a reason people have a long career. And it’s because they’re doing respectful work. I really want to be in that group.
I would rather do three or four small parts every year as opposed to some of the lower-hanging fruit that might get my name above the title. If you take that big paycheck for that, it’s going to be real high-profile, you’re going to be famous for a couple of weeks, and then your career is over and you’ve got to make sure you don’t spend all your money before you die.

QUOTES:
There are certain directors – Spielberg, David Fincher, John McTiernan – who sort of see things in three dimensions, and I was watching their films and sort of breaking them down to see how they laid sequences out, and how they paid attention to things like lens length, where the eyelines were, when the camera moved, how they cut, how they led your eye from one part of the frame to another.
…there’ve been a lot of questions about commercial films and non-commercial films, and I’ve never really made that separation in my mind. There’s no question that when you read a piece of material, you have ideas about how it should be realised … certainly when I read the script for Ocean’s Eleven, I thought if this was realised the way it should, then it would appeal to a lot of people. Then you get involved in a film like Solaris and if you realise it the way it should be realised, then it won’t appeal to a lot of people. But what are you going to do? You have to go at it…
I learned from Richard Lester that as your career goes on, you learn more about how things can go wrong, but you never learn how things can go right. And it’s really disorienting.

[on filming Robin Hood] I think the most memorable moment for me was: Russell and I galloped up to the base of this castle that they built and he said, ‘Take a good look at that castle and remember it, because they may not make movies like this anymore.’

QUOTES:
“I wasn’t prepared for the way people responded to ‘Breaking the Waves.’ Suddenly, I was being interviewed and being asked all sorts of questions. All my life, I’ve loved movies, but I didn’t foresee the glamour of the Academy Awards. In England, the awards are reported as straight news. In America, they’re considered the height of glamour.” – On her two 1999 roles, “Angela’s Ashes” and “Cradle Will Rock”, which had Oscar-potential.
I was a normal, rather dutiful child. I didn’t even rebel as a teenager.
On her childhood preparing her for an acting career: “I was taught the value of imagination at an early age. I didn’t have a television. I read a lot of books and developed a good sense of storytelling. I was happy as well, and I think that helped. The more secure you feel, the more unbalanced you can let yourself become.”
