Have you ever thought about what you’d be doing or what you’d want to do if you weren’t doing this?
I don’t know, I really thought about it, I don’t know.
You haven’t thought about that career change yet.
But I want to, I’d love, you know, to do something else, but I just don’t know what I’d do. I don’t know what I’d do. I thought about baking pies, but that’s just like a joke.
Was there anything about shooting in the desert that brought anything out for you, you know, all that open space?
Yes, it’s really dirt, a lot of f*****g dirt…” We made up other s**t, too, a whole arguing scene. You just get the basis of what’s going on in the relationship between Mickey and Mallory and we had a whole argument that was before we got bitten by the rattlesnake. We pretty much improvised a whole bunch of stuff. It was fun.
You were saying that you wouldn’t know what you would be doing if you weren’t an actress, but once you do get to that point where you can make some decisions, maybe if you do continue acting, what are some of the things that you’d want to have?
Well, I’d want to have more to do with making movies, the creative process, cause acting is just one small little portion of making a movie, and I’d like to have just more creative input. You find people along the way who you work really well with and you guys complement each other’s creativity, so I’d like to add on. Just have more to do, maybe writing. I wouldn’t like to direct all by myself, that would be really hard, that’s really hard. Just to have more to do, like making up scenes, I love natural dialogue, the flow to it.
Have you done any writing?
Not real structured writing, that’s hard, that’s where you have to meet people to help put it together for you. I have ideas of different movies. I’d love to see movies I haven’t seen before made. (Laughs) Do you know what I mean? A different “formula”. I think I relate more to European movies, just generally speaking. I’ve only seen a few…Last Tango In Paris. I liked its transient nature cause it’s more sort of like real life – I hate predictability, especially in movies ’cause they should be spontaneous and take you somewhere. But I’m totally uneducated in the film world.
