It’s about what I learned as an actor about that character.

Sometimes you’re watching a great film actor, and if you stand 10 feet away from them, you’re like, ‘God, they’re terrible. They’re not doing anything.’ And then you see the close-up, and it’s so nuanced, and so much expression is happening. They were acting for that camera and for no one else.

The thing I always try to remember is that feet are attached to the leg, and that you must prolong the silhouette. The shoe elongates the leg and does it discreetly. The goal is to get people to look at a woman’s legs. It’s all about the leg. No, it’s not about the leg. It’s about the woman.
Apparently, I have good feet for ballet.
I have perfected the art of putting my feet on my husband’s lap during awards ceremonies so he can rub them.

I don’t understand it.

Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the concept of mobility, or ‘the ability to vote with your feet.’ If you don’t support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol – don’t come to Texas. If you don’t like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage, don’t move to California.
I am a helicopter pilot. Something that gives me pleasure sometimes is taking my helicopter to go high, 2000 meter, 6000 feet, to go there and feel like a bird. In this moment I feel free.
