"Why didn't you insist on a must kiss Denzel scene in your two Equalizer films? nivlek47 Well, if you go back to the first Equalizer, he comes to my character seeking permission to do his equalizing. I'd been his boss and trained him, so kissing him would be highly inappropriate. However, if somebody is looking to see me kiss Mr Washington, please whisper that into his ear."
"I hear you're a big fan of knitting. What's been your greatest knitted creation? TopTramp The knitting has been eclipsed by pottery the past three years. I go to a local pottery studio, do what I can on a wheel, and get my creativity out there. The knitting was a wonderful thing. I'd make simple squares without having to count stitches, then sew them all together. I must have made about a dozen blankets, most of which are still in a trunk upstairs."
"You're brilliant as both goodies and baddies how do you choose? Jolafer My work chooses me. The mark of a really good actor is one that has a range and doesn't just show up in the same role again and again. I'm happy to play what I'm offered apart from after The Fighter, when all I was offered was older, nasty women. I don't want to do that any more."
She declined a kiss with Denzel in Equalizer because his character sought permission from her character, reflecting a boss‑and‑trainee relationship that made a kiss inappropriate. She now practices pottery, attending a local studio to work on a wheel, while knitting produced about a dozen simple blankets kept in a trunk. She accepts roles chosen by her work and values range, refusing to be confined to repeated character types. After The Fighter she was offered older, unpleasant women and rejected that pattern. She expresses a strong desire to play posh, regal, or period characters with elaborate costumes.
