Annette Bening Should've Won Oscar For American

It's Hard To Describe To People How Terrible It Was When You Could Only Watch Cartoons At A Certain Time In Your Life.

There Was A Courtroom Scene Where My Son Is Convicted Of Killing Kevin Spacey's Character. I Find The Bloody T-shirt And Realize My Husband Did It. I Get Up The Courage To Take The Shirt And Send It To The Police As Evidence. I Go Out Of The House For The First Time. There Was All This Stuff I Had To Do That Became Quite Truncated, Because They Slimmed Down The Movie. I Understand The American Beauty Is Brilliant Without All That Stuff, But For Me, Personally, It Was Hard To See All That Go.

I'm The Worst Speller On The Planet. I'm So Glad For Spellcheck On My Phone.

The Live Aspect Is So Thrilling, I Get Nervous Again. It's Like Going On Stage.

I Think One Of My Big Skills Is Making Unlikable Characters Likable Or Real In Some Way. No Matter How Hateful People Are, There's Always Something Vulnerable About Them, Or Something That You Can Understand Or Relate To. I Think That's My Job As An Actress - To Find Those.
