Zitat des Tages von Naomi Watts:
There must be a thread in everything I choose to take on, and I can't say it's a calculated thread, but I think you end up doing the work that's resonating with you.
I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff.
We're so afraid of death in our culture, but I think if we understand it better, then we'll appreciate the life we have more.
It was total naivety that got me to Hollywood. I thought it was going to happen straight away. I told myself 'give it 5 years, there's no way I'll be here after that if it doesn't happen'. Cut to ten years later!
On set is where I feel comfortable. The red carpet stuff, talking about the film, explaining your own life, it doesn't come naturally. It's all necessary stuff I suppose but it's not my strength.
Mum put me in drama classes when I was about 14. I'd been going on about it for some time, so maybe it was a way to shut me up.
Whenever a film allows you to think and feel and take it beyond the moment, I think it's achieved something. And 'Funny Games' does that.
You have to make peace with yourself. The key is to find the harmony in what you have.
There was a time I was very much blaming the way I felt on L.A, that it was a vacuum of creativity, of humor or anything organic, and I was really angry at the place. But then today I feel completely different - I love L.A.!
I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine.
Some movies are the kind you take home with you at the end of the day, and some, you can let go.
When I had dark hair I definitely felt that I was more anonymous.
Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering.
I had gotten to a place where I truly believed everything I was called: 'not sexy,' 'not funny,' 'too intense,' desperate.' All those labels they gave me, I took them because there wasn't a trace of my true self left.
The biggest place I look for validation is from my mother. That's the little girl in me that will never grow up.
I wish I'd started having kids sooner so I could have had a few more.
Oh, I'm definitely a wild child.
There's a lot of skeletons in my closet, but I know what they're wearing. I'm not gonna act all ashamed of it.
That's one of the lucky things about getting the success later on. I know how I want to dress, I know what kind of house I want to live in, I just know more about myself, and that's true about the roles I want to play and what parts of myself I want to express. You're just more in touch with yourself.
It's always nerve-racking to take off your clothes on film. But doing it with a woman felt safer than with a man. You know you can say, 'Don't grab me there: That's where my cellulite is'!
I'm not this dark, twisted person. Yes, I have my demons and this is my way of exorcising them. It gets them out - and better out than in.
The use of violence in movies is a subject that's worth addressing. I'm not standing on a soapbox or wagging a finger, but I'm interested in those subjects for sure.
Maybe in the workplace I have more courage than other areas in my life.
I'm not sure why I still think of myself as 28 - maybe that's the point where you start growing up, and then you just feel the same for evermore.
Women in their 40s have gone through quite a few different things, and so the roles are going to reflect that. People say, 'Oh, it's done by 40,' and now everyone knows it's not. I actually feel like the roles are a lot more interesting.
