So, after the Oscars, when you go out and about, are you recognized? You have such a distinctive look!
"No! It’s crazy! I never get recognized. I think because, in my most successful film, I look very different. But, you know, if someone does happen to recognize me, they’re usually sweet, and it’s never a negative experience."
So, no horror stories?
"My favorite thing is if I’m going out to buy something embarrassing, I always think, 'Oh God, I hope no one sees me buy this!' However, for the most part, it’s been fine."
Confession: We just saw Lawless. It was awesome. Your chemistry with Tom Hardy is really amazing. What was it like to be a femme fatale?
"It felt very nurturing, too.
"Yeah. It was."
You have such fair, beautiful skin. Do you have any secrets for pale girls that you want to share?
"Sunscreeeen! Also, you know, I don’t know if this actually works...but I read somewhere that if you put vitamin C on before you put on sunscreen on, it's extra rejuvenating and makes sunscreen more effective."
You've had to deal a lot with accents. Tell me about what it's like to do backwoods-gritty like Lawless versus something like The Help.
"Oh, it was great! When I first started working on the Chicago accent for Lawless, I went really thick. And I thought, 'Okay...I’m the femme fatale of the movie, so I can’t like show and have a really thick, nasal Chicago accent. So, I figured this is a woman who has been with gangsters and is a dancer, and she would have tried to speak more eloquently. So, I still used the Chicago accent, but I tried to make it more sensual."
Are you doing any shopping tonight?
"I might! (Pointing to PATCH NYC's throws.) These are so cute, aren't they?"
Yeah, I am thinking of getting the owl candle, actually!
"Do it! Everyone loves owls!"
