I think it's so strange that certain people think they know you because you've been in a film. It's very flattering, but it's also very scary.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Well, I think that a lot of times when you're working on a film, there aren't really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.
I am astonished and surprised that someone could consider making a film about me without talking to me about it.
After Hollywood, you know if people are interested in you or in the fact that you've been in a movie. You know who your real friends are.
I think since I'm not particularly well-known as myself, it's funny all the different perceptions people have of me. Like, if someone's only seen me in 'Death Proof,' they think I'm sort of a ditzy girl who says stupid things and wears revealing outfits all the time.
Every now and then, people will recognize me at restaurants or Universal Studios or something. I'll always take a picture with them if they want. I mean, that's what telling stories and acting for a living are for - for the people.
Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.
You can be really weird, and people will still accept you if you're in movies. I'm not actually weird, but if I feel like being weird, then I can do it, and they accept it because you're an actor.
We all know the power of film; we all know there's almost nothing more powerful than to see people on film that look and talk like you, like we do.
And if people come up and say they like the movies you're in, it's a great compliment.
A lot of people think I must be weird because of the films I've done. I get that.
