If I'm working on a film, I'll do sit-ups for before I shoot. Like, 100 in the morning or something.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wear a lot of tight dresses, so I'm like, 'I need to do my sit-ups!'
Sometimes I'm at home and I remember I'm supposed to do 100 push-ups and I don't.
Anybody can have this body if you do enough sit-ups and you just make a decision that 'Every day, I'm going to work out.' There are some days that I just don't feel like doing it, and I don't. But more often than not I get up and I get on the treadmill that I want to shoot and just do it. The first 20 minutes are the hardest.
I always take working out seriously, but before a shoot I do extra sit ups and squats. I also eat more vegetables and drink a ton of water, because it really helps my skin glow.
A way you can get really good abs in film is you get your makeup artist to paint shadows - faux washboard. But if you see me in a movie and I have great abs, it means I have a great body double.
I'm trying to get on the yoga/pilates train, but I can't seem to sit still. I imagine a lot of reporters would say the same.
In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months.
If I do a film and have to get naked, that tends to dictate how often I go to the gym. Acting in 'Richard II' on stage was a huge physical workout, so I ended up more toned than I normally am.
Once I finish shooting a film, I usually sit on it to see how we can make it better.
I do at least 75 push-ups a day.
