Nobody Wants To Watch Perfection.

I Actually Enjoy Working With Green Screen, Because I Can Imagine All That Stuff Happening, And I Really Cut My Teeth On A Movie I Made Called "adaptation" Where I Had To Imagine Four-page Dialogue Scenes With My Twin Brother, Who Was Nothing More Than A Tennis Ball And A Gas Stand.

I Was Always Shocked When I Went To The Doctor's Office And They Did My X-ray And Didn't Find That I Had Eight More Ribs Than I Should Have Or That My Blood Was The Color Green.

Helen Mirren Is Someone That I Have Really Admired Ever Since I Saw Her In Excalibur. That Was The First Thing I Said To Her. "i Loved You As Morgan Le Fay."

I Don't Find The Same Things Funny That Many Other People Seem To Find Funny. I Don't Really Respond To Sex Jokes And Things Like That, And Some Of My Friends Look At Me And Go, "come On, Nic, That Was My Best Joke. Why Aren't You Laughing?" I Go, "i Really Don't Know Why I'm Not Laughing. I'm Sort Of Out Of Sync With It." So I'd Have To Find Something That Was Really About Weird Human Behavior For Me To Laugh.

When I Won The Oscar, I Made A Point Of Actively Going Against That And Doing Adventure Films Like 'con Air' And 'gone In 60 Seconds,' Not What Would Be Expected.
