    There's nothing like watching a live performance of, frankly, anything. you have to make sure that people believe everything is improvised. i could not stress enough how little we [actors] prepare and what small amount of time we put in before these shows.
    Stress Believe People
    What i like about all these giant superhero movies is that they speak to the issues that i'm dealing with - working mother and time management and how to be an interesting, sexual, curious woman in your 40s.
