Most of the films you have worked on over the last few years are quite different. When you read a script, are you consciously looking to mix things up? MP: Actually, no. If something strikes me as really funny, very intriguing or really touching, then I just go and do it. It's never about managing my career in a way that this would be a good move. I have enough people telling me what to do, so I think that when I read something, if I admire the writing and who's directing it, I just go for it. You are a single mother with two sons
(ages 10 and 6) and have chosen not to live in Los Angeles, but in
Cleveland. Why? This was a type of role that what we
haven't seen you do before. Was it challenging? When you take on a role, do you
approach it in any special way? What was it like starring opposite
Morgan Freeman? Earlier this year we saw you in Head
Over Heels, which also co-starred four supermodels. You started
your career as a model. Was it fun hanging with these girls? What's up next? |
