女星莎莉?霍金斯在多倫多影展大放光芒This star loves both the theater and film by Claudia Puig / 2010, USA TODAY International. Dist
Sally Hawkins loves movies - even the not so great ones. " I love film," she says. " I love all genres of film. It's still exciting for me. I even love the ones that aren't so good. There's always a piece of magic there, always a moment which engages you or moves you in different ways."
So it's appropriate that she's the big Toronto player - with three movies at the Toronto International Film Festival. Hawkins, 34, stars in the much - buzzed - about Never Let Me Go, as well as Made in Dagenham and Submarine. Don't ask her to choose her favorite when it comes to theater versus film. "I love both," she said. "I'm interested in creating stories. Theater is how I got into acting, and theater is how I learned."
Even as a child growing up in southeast London, she was always playing characters. "In primary school I was engaged with creating characters with friends," she said. "It was like an extension of play."
When it comes to her own films she says, "I just love creating characters, but it's always weird to watch yourself, I'll be thinking I didn't know my mouth made that shape. It's so big. What am I doing? Oh, don't do that! " But you just have to kind of get over it. And the older I get, the less I worry about it all."
But theater has a definite allure for someone who's all about creating characters. "There's nothing like a live audience," she says. "It's great, so very different from film. You're having to communicate to a big collection of people, but it's a two-way thing. You're getting back from the audience. You have to be aware of what's happening as well as of what you're doing. " But you can overdo it. "You have to be aware but also you have to not be aware," she said. "It's terrifying to be on Broadway, and it's also very exciting."
