Now, with technology you have things like FarmVille. I'm not a virtual farmer. You're actually I gotta have I gotta feel the dirt. I gotta see it in my fingernails.
Thank you very, so much for talking to Young Hollywood. Um, I was wondering, I read that you like to knit.
I do.
Love it?
Love it. My husband gets a sweater a year.
Did you did you knit any for Jake though?
No, take No, Jake doesn't get it. My husband comes before Jake, and now my two children come before Jake. Jake Jake. Jake's Jake, but he's he's Yeah, he's he's on the bottom tier.
Now, with technology you have things like FarmVille. So are you able to sit on your BlackBerry and FarmVille just because you miss being at home?
You know, No, I never got into FarmVille.
No?
No. I'm not a virtual farmer. You're actually off to I gotta have I gotta feel the dirt. I gotta see it into my fingernails.
In this movie, it's kind of, uh, it's kind of cool 'cause he goes back and relives. What's a favorite memory of yours that you'd like to relive?
Top the list is the birth of my two children. The moment that they're revealed to you. The moment they they are born and and the doctor shows you this this human being that you've created. It's a-it's mind-blowing. That's the most mind-blowing, um, experience and I think it's without doubt. It's it's that.
When it comes to the movie, you said that you and Jake, it was almost like internet dating because you never saw him.
Sure, sure it was a virtual relationship. On the upper deck of the next carriage, there's a conductor's compartment. It's a small office containing a strongbox. Inside is a loaded handgun. Get to it. You are authorized to use whatever force necessary. It'll appear as if we're in the same head space at least, but but we weren't physically in each other's presence when we shot it. It's it's tricky to act that way, but but, uh, when you see the film, you'll better understand why that process was necessary.
Congratulations to you, you.
Thanks.
This is an awesome film, and I'm so excited to see what you're what you're gonna be up to next.
