You Really Have To Work Hard And

I Remember Reading An Interview That Anthony Hopkins Had Given About How He Developed Hannibal Lecter. He Said He Just Looked In The Mirror And, I Forget Exactly What It Was, But He Looked In The Mirror And Realized That When He Smiled, It Looked Creepy.

I Just Don't Think [payne] Was The Right Time To Do It, Maybe. It Was Timing, Not So Much That It Was Executed Wrong.

I Loved Working On That Show [defiance]. I Mean, That Show Was Brutal. We Worked Long, Brutal Hours In Really Brutal Weather.

I Didn't Tell Anybody [had Got A Role At As Good As It Gets], Because I Was Just Going, "well, That Was The Strangest Audition..." And I Just Thought, "there's No Way He Gave Me The Job On The Spot When There Was A Room Full Of Other Girls Waiting To Audition For It." But Then I Didn't Hear Anything For A Couple Of Days, So I Finally Called My Agents, And They're, Like, "oh, Yeah, Congratulations! We Know Jim [l.brooks] Told You In The Room That You Got It."

I Worked So Hard On That Role [of Debra In Dexter]. And I Barely Worked On Rita. But I Read For Casting - Both Parts - And They Said, "that's Great, We're Going To Bring You In For Producers." So I Read For Some Producers - Both Parts - And They Said, "that's Great, We're Going To Bring You In To Meet The Creator." And I Went In, And As Soon As I Walked In The Room, He Looked At Me And He Said, "oh My God, You're Our Rita!" And I Said, "no! I'm Deb! I'm A Total Deb!" "no, You're Rita!".
