It was also the last time Woo really impressed. His next big thing was the Mission Impossible sequel that managed to be an aborted parody of both action and the city of Sydney, and he looked the same as every other lazy studio hack in Paycheck.

Michael Bay delivers, he almost has his own brand that delivers a level of entertainment that’s unparalleled. I love all the Transformers movies. Guillermo does very different movies. Again, in this case we’re driving the robots and the creatures are coming from an entire other universe.

But as actresses, especially in the early days of our careers when we’re auditioning a lot, we all get told, “Oh you’re too pretty for that.” And I just always thought that was such bullshit, that’s a way of letting me off easy so I don’t complain. In reality if you have that, it’s only going to be an asset in this career.
