I do try hard to pick roles that differ. I love that about the job. I think the variety that's out there is to be taken advantage of and I enjoy that element of shape shifting with everything.

I think that's almost what it is sometimes if you sum up what acting is. It's just the ultimate expression of empathy.
Emily Blunt
Image
I love character roles. I'm happier in them. I look for roles that have some kind of complexity.
Emily Blunt
Image
I'm with someone who makes me incredibly happy. I'm not one of those people who subscribes to the idea that marriage takes the romance out of things. I think it gets better, it deepens. I love being a wife. We have a blast.
Emily Blunt

If you're very open to watching the world go by, with people's different tics, you absorb it all without realizing it and find ways to put something into your character. I'm not sure I'm always aware I'm mimicking someone.

Cate's absolutely spellbinding. She was like that just eating a sandwich. I knew at the time I was privileged, but since she's become God's gift to actresses I realise exactly how lucky I was.

Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day. I don't know if I'm the one to give marital advice since I've only been married for a little over a year, but marriage is certainly easier if you are open, trusting and loving.

I think I'm drawn to characters with complexity or who are under duress in some way and have some conflict going on.

Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that.

My personal feeling is that audiences are crying out for stories they can invest in and feel. I see a lot of big movies that leave me feeling rather numb.
Emily Blunt
Image
Things happen in the way they usually should. I'm a pretty fatalistic person.

With Ricky Gervais, it's all shades of wrong, it's my kind of humor.
Emily Blunt
Image
When I read a script, I'll have a very visceral gut reaction to what does this mean to me? How does she feel in my skin? Could I play this role?
Emily Blunt
Image
Personally, I'm an advocate for short engagements. Long sometimes means there is a reason for it. Two years engaged and no wedding... I'd be upset.
Emily Blunt
Image
I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.
Emily Blunt
Image
It's nothing to be ashamed of to have a stutter.
Emily Blunt
Image
I don't really watch that much TV, to be honest.
Emily Blunt
Image
It's quite hard to faze me. I'm fairly un-shockable.
Emily Blunt
Image
When you're in love, you're so happy that you want to tell people about it. But now I have to censor myself. You need to protect the happiness you have.

I think a shot can actually influence a scene in a huge way. For example, comedy is always better in a two-shot. What's between the characters is what's funny. So you learn about these things as you go along.

I'm a big supporter of Joe Johnston and I think that 'Captain America' is going to be really fun and I gather that the story is really interesting. It just wasn't what I wanted to do next, to be honest.
