The reason my films work is because every actor on set is very secure. They're able to fly.
The first day, in particular, is always one of those weird days because you get ..., you're thrown into this new trailer - here's your wardrobe.
We did a 'Vanity Fair' spread for 'The Hunger Games,' and we were on set, and I saw a little head pop up from the tree. There were three teenage girls who snuck past security and made it into the forest.
I love working with actors. That's what the set really is, for me. It's my time with the actors.
I don't know who the actresses all are. I've never heard of Kate but I'm sure she'll do fine.
I realize I have a lot of amazing opportunities, but I don't know how you can play a human being going through real human experiences without being able to walk down the street. If you can't live a real life, how do you play a real person? It always confuses me when actors work back-to-back-to-back with no break. If you live your life on a film set, how the hell can you relate to real people? You don't know what its like to not have people fussing over you all day, and that's not life - that's silly movies. I will always want to take breaks and I wouldn't be OK with losing that.
I did a couple quick things with Nicole Kidman, and I really loved that. She was a really cool person to chat with and had a really lovely presence on set. I'm a big admirer of her work. It's amazing the volume of work she does.
I have done my share of looking glamorous on-screen in many films.
I remember Michael Jackson once called to see if I was feeling okay because I had gone home sick from the set of 'Goonies'; they'd shut down production for a couple days. I was so excited he called, but he didn't leave his number.
I think our first scene was us arguing, and nobody wants to argue with Angela Bassett, but the thing about it was that all of the nerves I had going into it were immediately kind of quelled as soon as I got to the set. Becasue she's not Angela Bassett, she's just Angela Bassett.
Man, I had a good time working on 'Grown Ups 2.' First of all, when I read the script, it is hands-down the funniest script I've ever read. It's laugh-out-loud funny.
Every morning when I wake up, I am grateful and happy that I come to the film set. It is home.
While shooting for 'Kodi' at Pollachi, I got this new idea for 'VIP 2'.
I never meant to be an actress.
I think it's counterproductive for actors to come to the set with well-thumbed copies of the book their film is adapted from.
My mom is a script supervisor. It's like the family business. It never had that feeling of entertainment. It was always more like, "Eh, it's just a movie," with that crew mentality, which is, "We've done it before and we can do it again."
We never left a set until we'd trashed it.
Frankly, I am boring. My life is all about the film set, gym classes, and home.
When I walk onto a film set, I become frightened and nervous. There's all this equipment, all these people, and most of them do things you don't know how to do. I didn't come from a film background.
When you're on set, and that clock is going, every second you spend doing something is a second you spend not doing something else. That's true of all of life, but it's very vivid on a film set because you're always managing that.
I don't want to be in Terminator. I don't want to go to Hollywood.
When I go to set, I try to make it a warm, inviting and happy set. We're all coming to work creating something, hopefully, beautiful together.
It's amazing how much you can absorb on a film set.
I love the energy of an independent film set. No one is there for the money. Everyone is there 'cause they really want to be there. It makes all the difference in the world. It's without ego and agenda, other than just wanting to fulfill a creative dream.
I did sound for a number of years, so I know the pain of the sound mixer on a set where everybody was talking.
