I'm Not One Of Those Stars That

When I Got My Start, I Kind Of Got My Big Break With The Princess Diaries And During The Press Rounds For That Everyone Asked Me: "did You Always Want To Be A Princess Growing Up?" And The Truth Was, No I Wanted To Be Catwoman. And I Think A Lot Of Women Feel That Way. And The Fact That I Am Actually Her Is Such A Dream Come True. It's Such A Pinch Me Moment. And The Fact That I Am Catwoman In Chris Nolan's Gotham To Christian Bale's Batman Is Unbelievably Cool.

I Want To Work With People That Frighten Me And Excite Me, And Characters That I Don't Believe I'm The Best Person For The Part But I'm Still Gonna Try Anyway. Those Are My Favorite Roles.

Life For Me These Days Is A Lot About Letting The Unknown Be Wonderful.

My Feeling About Growing Up In New Jersey Was, 'how Come I'm Not In New York?' That Being Said, I'm Older And I Have A Better Worldview Now, And So I Think I Grew Up In An Incredibly Privileged Position. The Town I Grew Up In Is Beautiful. I Got A Great Education, And I'm Very Grateful For It.

My First Job Was Baby-sitting. I Had A Great Time Because I Love Kids. Sometimes, When I'm Having A Bad Day, I'm Like: "oh, You Know What? I'm Going To Chuck It In And Become A Kindergarten Teacher!"
