Quotes: Scarlett Johansson |
• Samuel Bayer (director) on Scarlett
"Scarlett is one of the sexiest actresses around. And she can just become her characters. Look at what she did during the Corvette scene (in the Timberlake video), which a lot of people won't catch. She was shooting that on a green screen, and right before we were rolling, she was laughing. We start, and she's crying. It was just unbelievable. It's stuff like that which makes you know someone's a star."
