Christina Ricci: 'i'm a Big Character in Real Life'

And she reveals she jumped at the chance to star in Broadway play Time Stands Still, playing a young events planner, Mandy Bloom.

Ricci tells the Associated Press, "While on film I can be very quiet and be this one kind of intensity; in real life I tend to be very big.

"I'm always the loudest one. I'm always the one in the make-up trailer who's making a fool of themselves... or getting in trouble for this or that or the other. So I was like, 'I'd like to bring some of that more into my acting.' And just as I was starting to do that, the play came along."
