I've Always Wanted To Act And I

I'm All Right, Not As Good As My Mom Is. Maybe Because I Don't Have Kids.

I Saw 'clueless' Probably When I Was About 8 Or 9 Years Old. And, I Had Certain Films That I Would Fall Asleep So It Was 'clueless' For Quite A Long Time, And I Used To Just Watch It Every Single Night And Knew Every Single Line, Every Single Quote.

When I Was Younger, I Would Mess About And Have A Laugh With Everyone. I Was Doing Atonement When I Was About 12, And As We Went To Do This Very Serious Scene, The Director Joe [wright] Came Up To Me ... I'd Been Giggling Right Up To The Beginning Of The Take. And He Came Up To Me And Said, "okay, You Need To Be Serious Now." I Completely Idolized Him.

The Written Word Can Be Powerful And Beautiful - But Films Transport Us To Another Place In A Way That Even The Most Evocative Words Never Can.
