I think there is a major difference between actors and actresses. All of the men I've worked with have been really difficult, whereas the women have always been extremely cooperative. I began thinking about that, and I think it comes down to a question of comfort with vanity.
Men do not take to vanity, because they are taught at an early age that it is wrong to be vain.
Maybe I haven't done enough movies, but haven't found that men are more difficult than women.
Women are brought up to think it's acceptable to pay attention to their faces. Men translate their discomfort into their behavior.
I don't believe men want women to have grotesque plastic surgery or be undernourished and bony. All the plastic surgery in the world can't stop you getting older.
There are certain scenes you do in a movie that are like catching a wave, and you leave work feeling elated - almost as though you've purged something. That's rare, but you do live for those moments.
