There are not that many roles in comedies that are completely driven by a young actress.
For years, it's driven me crazy that women don't have better roles, especially in comedies. I know so many funny women but I always felt... misogynist streak is too strong a term - but a dismissiveness.
I have done many comedies, but none of my roles are repetitive.
I don't think I've ever done a character like this before, so I couldn't really draw from previous roles. I've been known for doing a lot of comedies in England, so I don't think that would have worked. I completely went from scratch, with this one, and used the research and what was in the script, and spoke to Chris. It's all from in my mind ,rather than drawing from previous experiences or roles.
I've done many, many French movies and many, many English movies. I think it frees something when you don't talk in your mother language, but I also think you withdraw something as well. I'm a French actress, and sometimes I speak in English-speaking roles. For me, being an actress was always being a traveler. It goes together.
I've been really fortunate to do so many comedies and then so many dramatic roles and then television and movies and stuff like that.
I've done a lot of serious roles, but they're, like, independent, so it's harder for them to come out. The big ones have been comedies, but I would love to get a big drama to let people see the other side of me, that I am a serious actress.
I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it's a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff.
As an actor I get opportunities to do different kind of films. It's not that if I have done a few comedies, I'm averse to other roles or genres. It's just that I go for the films I like and incidentally some of them have been comedies.
When I was young, I was very blessed to have this insight that my best work would be when I was an older actress. I just always knew that as a young actress.
Make your wardrobe as versatile as an actress. It should be able to play many roles.
I'd love to be in a period drama - that's my obsession. But being a mixed-race actress, there aren't so many roles you're right for.
No doubt an actress has to do varied roles. But I don't want myself to be typecast as an actress who can only do off-beat ventures.
There's not many good comedies to watch - you know, comedies that make you glad you watched them.
I think there's a lack of quality roles for women in comedies. Most actresses get cast as the "eye-roller" or "the serious one," while men in comedies get to do all the fun, silly stuff and muck around. Sometimes you just have to search hard for a role or create one for yourself.
I'm not into comedies that are joke-driven.
Becca Gardner is wonderful as the good-hearted little Griff who refuses to be daunted by all the heart-ache and resentment on dad's ranch and this young actress proves there's another young child actress in Hollywood besides Dakota Fanning.
