If I’m filming ‘Dragons’ Den’, we work flat out until 8pm, although I love seeing the weird, wonderful and plain delusional.
Working with Woody Allen is like filming Howard Hughes’s will. It’s a very mysterious and strange event. You never get a peek at the whole will.
It was an amazing experience, a dream come true, to sing and act alongside Prince and become dear friends with all the members of The Revolution while filming ‘Purple Rain.’
When you’re filming for seven months or six months at a time, you bond with people hugely.
Well I actually came to shoot ‘Stranger Things’ straight from filming a movie called ‘Bridge of Spies,’ which is directed by Stephen Spielberg, so I was recommended to watch a bunch of his movies, like ‘E.T’ and stuff.
There is a moment that often comes to mind when I’m reflecting on filming ‘Trinkets.’ It was during our second season; there is a scene where Moe, Elodie, and Tabitha are riding scooters on the street at night and just feeling so free and connected to one another.
We just started filming, and after every scene was shot, we had a rehearsal for the next one.
We were filming ‘Doctors’ in Birmingham and they have the highest percentage of homeless people outside of London. You just have to walk down one of their busy streets to see that this issue is massive.
When I was filming the Marilyn Monroe movie, I was listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen.
I went to Lunenburg, when we were filming there, and I was like, ‘We can’t film anywhere else. This place is perfect. It is ‘Haven.’ It’s absolutely beautiful. That town is eye candy.
I realised filming in my own apartment that it was nice to come home and have some space. It worked for ‘The Little Paris Kitchen’ but now I’ve learned a lot about TV; you need space for the camera and you want to be mentally sound after filming.
Filming ‘Glow’ helped with my confidence.
Many times, I have heard people saying that they don’t like to work with their wife or husband, but to me, it is a plus. To work with somebody you love makes filming faster, more fun.
I’m always slightly worried if I do a film and we’re filming it in Luxembourg. I know it’s going to go straight DVD.
I remember filming my TV show, ‘Growing Up Supermodel,’ and just being uncomfortable. And then when I saw myself on TV, not even recognizing myself, it was really hard to see.
If you’re filming somebody doing something they really want to do, you’re probably not very high on their list of problems to deal with. You see James Carville on the phone – he’s like that whether you have a camera or not. He isn’t doing it just for you, and that’s hard to explain.
When I’m filming, it’s in the contract – ‘No kiteboarding’ – ha ha.
The first time I’ve actually filmed in London, the locations we’ve all had have been real inner city, grimy urban places which has been great. Filming here, you’ve got everything on your doorstep, so when you’ve got time off, you can go into town, so I’ve really enjoyed it.
I want to read books and go for walks and make dinner. I guess there are people who love working and that’s great. I’m not one of them. I love tackling roles and I love theater, but filming, I don’t get it. It seems mind-numbing to me.
