I'm a sucker for a good movie.
Next to the word 'luvvie' in the dictionary, there's a picture of me. At least in the American editions.
Anyone that has a music career and an acting career I think is pretty fantastic.
There's a romance and power to live theater.
I met Harry Thomason when I signed on with 20th Century Fox in 1985.
It is as polar opposite as it comes for the man who was Edna Turnblad in 'Hairspray' to come back as Sweeney Todd.
I am a fan of cinema. The genre has never mattered much to me.
Honestly a role is a role - whichever industry it is in - TV, stage or films.
I love film, any kind of genre.
I think the way it works is that when you're casting a movie, you usually want to work with people that you believe in.
When I cast someone in a movie, I have to absolutely trust who they are as a human being. Trust is the intangible of moviemaking.
I would love to work with Martin Scorsese.
I remember a time when I was younger, when if you had to see an actor, you had to go to the theatre and watch a film.
There are a lot of actresses who can wear their Uggs during a scene, and I only do that if they make me do that - like if I'm working with a shorter man and they request me to take off my shoes.
I just always wanted to sit in a casting session and see all of the train wrecks that come in.
I love Jet Li, he's really special.
A movie will live or die with your casting.
My favorite actor? It's either Idris Elba or The Rock.
