Personal Quotes
I think there has only been one time in my entire career that I've ever gone back to shoot a scene. And it was a scene that, when we were shooting it, we knew that it wasn't working. We knew there was a disagreement between the actor and director. So, we went back.

I'm a very lucky girl who gets to act for a living! So why sit around griping and grousing about what's not there.
