Thoughts on Jennifer Beals
I feel like I've started a new chapter in my life, and I need to leave the past behind.
Jennifer CapriatiI think that in some ways everybody is like Roger. Everybody thinks that when their friends have a problem, that they know the answer and that it's much easier to analyze the problems of other people than your own.
Jennifer BealsOriginally, I got a phone call from Campbell Scott saying that he was doing this movie and that there was this part that he wanted me to play in it.
Jennifer BealsYou can make yourself feel better about yourself if you project your shadow side, if you project your own potential for evil onto someone else. By annihilating them and, therefore, your shadow, you bring yourself into some state of purity or reformation.
Jennifer BealsIt became very clear to the director that it would be foolish not to use our friendship. I had tried to talk to him about it because all the relationships in the film are so, not negative, but antagonistic. There's not a lot of love going around.
Jennifer BealsBy annihilating somebody else in whatever way, then that person feels that they also have the ability to, then, restore the person.
Jennifer BealsCertainly from the rehearsal process with Elizabeth I think it was very clear. Well let me start again. We were initially supposed to be more combative.
Jennifer BealsI don't think Roger Dodger is really about men. I think it is more about relationships and about how you present yourself, not only to the opposite sex, but to yourself. What lies are you going to tell yourself in order to get through the day?
Jennifer BealsI'm working on a studio film right now where sometimes we do three takes. That's incredible! It's like boom, boom, boom. You're out. Oh, OK.
Jennifer BealsI think that is one of the things that makes watching him kind of fascinating, that we are watching everybody, this person that we assume is a demon.
Jennifer BealsThere's about three people in the world that have my home phone number and they are all related to me by blood.
Jennifer BealsMy husband does so many romantic things for me, it's absurd.
Jennifer BealsYou automatically are trusting because not only is the person a friend, they are so incredibly gifted that you know someone is going to be able to hit the ball back to you across the net.
Jennifer BealsIf they were combative, it would make it much easier for the men. Not being combative, it makes it much more difficult for them to penetrate the veil.
Jennifer BealsBeauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places, and your frown lines aren't too bad, what more do you need?
Jennifer GarnerGrowing up, being watched from the outside... it's kind of very taxing and maybe I should just do some kind of manual labor-it might be more relaxing. But I can't, it's not in my nature.
Jennifer ConnellyThere is a gentleness in Michigan that you just can't replicate.
Jennifer GranholmYou have to come in and be that character when you walk into the room. That's what one of my first acting teachers taught me. You know, don't go in there being Jennifer and then expect to flip and change, because they're not going to have that imagination.
Jennifer LopezI try to do a lot of research beforehand so I know where I want to go with a scene. I try not to get too stressed about it, because I find that's the worst thing.
Jennifer ConnellyCalifornia is beautiful to look at, but you can't be a part of it like you can in Michigan.
