About her role in "Slither":
I didn’t even mind having KY Jelly being smeared on me.
On horror films:
I think it's the same as comedy. They're just highly entertaining. They take you on a ride. They tap into your base emotions – fear and laughter.
On keeping her skin looking fresh:
If I'm in a rush, I'll grab a soda can and stick it under my eyes.
Every once and a while I play a true idiot, and they're really fun to play.
I actually think that secrets are just a part of human nature and that everybody should have some.
I am not afraid of much. I kill all the spiders in my house, and I'm planning to go skydiving. I am into girl power, and I'm very self-sufficient.
I like my coffee light.
I love physical comedy. I love Oscar Wilde, I love Shakespeare comedies, I love improv. I knew I had a knack for it at a certain level, but I came into this business as a classically trained drama student and that was my reputation. When you live in a leading lady's body, which I do, you have to constantly prove that you are funny.
I love working with a stylist but I also love having personal relationships with designers. A stylist is great for pulling together an entire outfit, accessories included, and for shaking me out of my comfort zone.
I play a real life character, Janet, who’s Vince Papale’s wife. The woman of his dreams, the mother of his children, is this woman Janet, and she’s a total spitfire and she really keeps him on his toes.
I play Rock Band, which is Guitar Hero times ten. You can play with four people, so when you have parties, you have a real band. Nobody ever wants to sing, so I'm always the one throwing down on the mic. I don't love the gun games. X-Y-A-B? I don't know any of the moves, and I don't have the time to learn that shit.
If I ever complain about yachting around the Mediterranean with Madonna, who I just idolized as a child, I should be slapped across the face.
I'm pleased that Hollywood hasn't figured out how to pigeonhole me yet..."
Most men I know rely on women to do all the literal dirty work. Anything involving poop, vomit, or blood -- always handled by women. Men don't understand basic bodily functions. They don't want to be bothered with it. But we bleed every month and we take care of babies, so we don't have any issues. I also end up killing all the bugs in my house. It's one of my favorite things to do: hunt spiders.
When I was in college I was accused of being a goody two-shoes. But every goody two-shoes has a bad side.
You have got to have an agent. It's a business. But I think there is a way to be artful and commercial at the same time.
