Carla Gugino

When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.

One of the things I really love about TV is this symbiotic relationship you can get between the writers and the actors, and the characters start to come to life because you start to collaborate.

Unfortunately, 'chick flick' has become a term to describe most movies that I don't even like. They're these movies that, yes, have women in them but they really don't reflect who women are, and there's something kind of silly or shallow or gossipy about them.

I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision.

I love doing serious movies for adults.

It is odd there are many movies with many men. But generally movies have one woman, or maybe the older woman and the younger girl.

When my friends have a health concern, they call me. I've always been a vitamin taker. I also take digestive enzymes and antioxidants, and supplements that help with the thyroid and adrenals for my time-zone changes.

For me, I never, never, from the moment I started acting, had a desire to be famous.
