INTERVIEW CAN YOU GUESS?

Some people say that she’s the best actress of her generation, while others say that she’s the best of all times. One thing is for sure; she's an American icon. Today she talks to us about her latest film. What was in particular about Doubt that spoke to you? I just thought it was a great play, but I never thought it was going to be made into a movie. Then some time later the director called and said-Let’s have lunch and talk about it-. He explained he wanted his own, new cast and I thought that I’d really like a crack at this. People have drawn parallels between this and my role in the Manchurian Canditate and Miranda Pristley in The Devil wears Prada. They are similar that they are women in power. What’s your feelings about being nominated for both an Oscar and Bafta and facing Kate Winslet twice? As you can imagine, this has come up a lot! I just have to say it’s so much more fun to have to publicise a film in July, because you talk about the film, you don’t talk about the. It’s almost like a different thing altogether. Because there’s all the marketing…it’s a political thing. Having said that, I think Kate Winslet is great, I’m glad she wasn’t in three movies this year(laughs).

You play a nun in the film. How was the experience of wearing no make-up on set? The really freeing thing about playing these nuns is that you throw away everything that women normally throw a great number of hours of the day on. What you’re wearing, how your hair is, how your face looks. Everything is gone. You’ve played a lot of memorable characters throughout your career, is there any you’d like to revisit? I never imagined revisiting any of those roles, although there’s a word of a sequel to Mamma Mia, you might be inflicted with that one again! Do you have any tips for this year’s winners? You mean, assuming that I won’t be one?(laughs).I don’t have any tips, you're out of your own body at that moment they call your name. It's hard to manage your emotions that moment.
