We wanted to make it naughty and fun. When the camera stopped rolling, it was hard to stop laughing." - about her love scene with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 2 “I take my job very seriously and I don't tend to look outside of what I'm doing. I tend not to look at what other actors have done to inspire what I'm doing either. I concentrate solely on the piece.” |
