Film acting, if you don't play the lead, you come, and you do your scenes in a few days, and you act with a couple of colleagues.

There are people on the ratings board and so froth who don't want certain scenes in the film. There are people who come up and say, "What graphic love scenes. I think, How can a love scene be graphic? Have you seen Total Recall? In this R-rated movie you see a man who you've seen being in love with and sleeping with this fabulous woman shoot her right through the head. "Consider this a divorce" is supposed to be the funniest line in the movie.
I like being the lead but I like being in an ensemble. There are different challenges and dilemmas with both.

When you're in an ensemble, you have to convey the entire character in a limited number of scenes.
What I consider a good part for a woman and what some other Hollywood people think are good women's parts are very different.

The film is made in the editing room. The shooting of the film is about shopping, almost. It's like going to get all the ingredients together, and you've got to make sure before you leave the store that you got all the ingredients.

I am in a fabulously lucky position in that I get to wear beautiful, beautiful gowns for functions, which I can then give back.

You have a certain objectivity, as a member of the audience, and you can come away maybe being provoked into a certain discourse or a certain arena of questioning, regarding how you would deal with things that your character has to deal with. Whereas when you're doing a film, once you start asking, "What would I do?," you're getting the distance greater between yourself and the character, or you're bringing the character to you, which I think is self-serving, in the wrong way. The idea is to bring yourself to the character.
