I loved ballet. I was 50 percent tomboy, 50 percent princess. As an only child, my imagination always worked overtime. On the farm I had to entertain myself; we had almost no television, no computers. So I had to be very creative and make things.” “We are very different, but he knows me, and I know him. He knows how to deal with my crap; I know how to deal with his. So, from day one, we could just do the work. Keanu is a much more serious and focused person when he's working. I get focused when I have to.” (On costar Keanu Reeves) |
