01:21 - What, you don't like me anymore?
01:23 - I think people will see me in a certain light in this film
01:25 and it's gonna be weird to watch people angry at me
01:27 or thinking something's up with me,
01:29 so I'm a bit scared to play what had beat me up ever.
01:32 - I'm gonna miss you, Susie Q.
01:34 - I think you have to play people that you understand.
01:37 I think you--or else you shouldn't play them.

02:20 - You know, I'm surprised. - Is it terrible?
02:22 - It's a good thing I said something nice.
02:25 - You are never alone.
02:27 I'm with you always, just as I've always been.
02:30 - Because it was really him,
02:32 and he really meant all the things he was saying to me,
02:35 and I really knew that.
02:36 When you have your father tell you that they're proud of you
02:38 or that they love you-- I just tried to remain composed,
02:40 and then when we were done actually filming the scene,
02:43 I remember jumping over and hugging you.

03:12 - I think it's such an interesting thing
03:14 for a man to have to fight a woman on screen.
03:16 It's very difficult and very sensitive to have to get into
03:20 because of that, so, you know,
03:22 you almost can't root for the guy.
03:24 'Cause it would just be too uncomfortable and too--
03:27 When I hit him, everybody was like, "Hey!"
03:29 Any time he hit me, everybody was,
03:30 "God, don't touch her. She's, you know, she's a lady."

04:19 - I'm so lucky, and I think when you have that many children,
04:22 they really take care of each other.

05:03 I mean, it was ridiculous. It was ridiculous.
05:05 To try to get-- you know, when you try to get your daughter
05:07 to do things she doesn't want to do, how silly you get.
05:09 It was that for a few hours.

05:44 I don't like children.
05:46 I can't tell Vivian to go away anyway.
05:48 She's--she's that kid.
05:50 She would be attached-- if she was here right now,
05:52 she's just-- she's my little shadow.
05:54 - She was your shadow. - So she was--it was perfect
