I think I signed some contract, early on in my career, that I will only kiss Steve Carell when I do a movie.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I was not allowed to mention that I was in the film industry, I could go six months without getting a kiss.
I am tired of kissing on screen. I have to do it because it is synonymous with me. Also, the producers and directors want to add that element. I don't give it too much importance.
I always wanted to do a comedy, but I wanted to pick the right one. But it came down to working with Steve Carell. I've wanted to work with him since I met him years ago as a kid.
Throughout your whole career, there's a bunch of people you might have to kiss. Say there's this character opposite you, and you might not be into her - or him, personally. You just gotta' do it. That's your job.
Honestly, ever since I've been married, the part of a job as an actress where you have to kiss other people, I find totally bizarre.
I don't feel like I've ever kissed any of the people I have done for acting. That moment didn't exist for you; it existed for that person.
Kissing in the movies is a real art - figuring out where to put your heads so it looks good on camera. I have had other co-stars who couldn't work that out, which made it a lot harder for me.
In my entire career? I am so sick of being asked, What's it like to kiss Mel Gibson?
I sign a film based on the story, the role I play, and the maker.
One of the skills I had to learn and become proficient in is kissing a man. I had never kissed a man. Will Smith did it in his movies, so did Jake Gyllenhaal, and I figured it was my time. So it was me and Steve Carell - fantastic.
