Once, I had so many scripts coming to me that I could hardly read them all.

When I first read the script a few years ago I thought it was one of the best written scripts I had ever read.

I get sent a lot of scripts where you're just the mom.

I get so excited about reading a new script.

My dad's got a brilliant eye for scripts 'cos he's a literary agent. He and my agent read a load of scripts and filter them.

I really think that reading a whole script is kind of prying and neurotic, don't you?

Most of the scripts that land on my desk are stuff you read and go, 'Is someone really gonna make this?'

But my family's really close and I was interested in what Mommy and Daddy did for a living. So when Mommy and Daddy had a script that wasn't totally age inappropriate, they would let me read it. And we would talk about it.

It was pretty much the way that it was when I first read it, although one exception would be that some ideas that I had were also incorporated into the script.
