I think the main thing I remembered throughout all of filming it was just that she just was extremely self-destructive. I think everybody can relate to that a little bit. She doesn't like herself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love it when you like a character, and then she does something you don't like, and you hate her for a while - then you love her again. I'd like to see her have unlikable moments that the audience understands and sympathizes with.
I loved that about her because I knew it would open the door for a lot of comedy, because I knew that the conflict would come, because not many people live like the way she does.
I think it's great that she's not perfect and wasn't perfect. I think that's maybe why so many young girls and different people look up to Mac and respect her even more.
I loved the challenge of being able to take a character who could be thrown away as 'crazy' and making her identifiable to the audience - also, to give her a vulnerability that people would cheer for.
Well, you know, I mean, she was so wonderful, and she really played the role to perfection.
It must have been so impossible to think about it and dare to do that, so they feel compassionate for her. I don't think the movie would work otherwise.
I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.
I never wanted to play a character that hated herself. I wanted people to know that those aren't the only roles for people like me, normal girls.
When they tested Fatal Attraction, the audiences were so upset by her behavior, they literally demanded her blood.
I loved playing the headmistress in 'The Falling' - she was so spiteful. She certainly fancied herself quite a lot.
