Quotes: Scarlett Johansson |
|
• Scarlett on the production "Then I did Manny & Lo, and I think when I did that I was able to act naturally, the way that a 10-year-old should act. I don’t know why it happened, but it was just a different kind of acting for me. It wasn’t like fake acting. I could just do it."
• Scarlett on Manny "Manny was definitely a character as such, a real person."
• Scarlett on Mary Kay Place "I’ve been fortunate to work with a lot of great people. Mary Kay Place was awesome; just to be able to watch her, she’s such a brilliant actress and she absorbs her character so well. When we did scenes together there was no tension, it just came naturally from our gut."
