Thank you for taking the time to compile this...I added a couple more answers. :)

It definitely makes me think twice about about whatever outfit I'm wearing before I run out to get something @ Coffee Bean or run errands. The paparazzi are why you'll usually see me wearing huge dark sunglasses when I'm out doing that.

From stay at home moms to corporate ladies, I think there's always some sense of guilt in the choices you make for yourself. For me, I have been so lucky being able to be at home with my son for his first year. I'm also a working mom, and to be a great mom I need to honor my creative desires.
Also important to take time to be with my husband. I believe how you spend your time together is more important than the amount of time you spend together.

It was a photographer I was working with, and he "cast" me in the part and it ended up being a really interesting comment on the industry's desire to manufacture stars.
Did not encounter any backlash.

I don't and never will respond to anything that comes to my home.
Someone brought me a Heroes lunchbox when I did Regis & Kathie Lee, that was pretty neat.

We were just cast to play twins in the Heroes movie!
(That's a joke.)

I approach it through character, not genre.

Amy Smart! She's a horrible human being. Just kidding...she's my best friend. :)

Where and when?
And: are you really in the Air Force?
EDIT: Proof. Thank you for thinking of me. Someone reached out to you this morning from another acct....

I have a handful of favorite movies:
In LA, the Santa Monica's farmers market, oysters on the deck of Shutters at Sunset, Sunday afternoons @ The Abbey, Mozza Pizzeria.

I would rather try something that's never been done.
[–]AliLarter[S] 1442 points1443 points1444 points 3 months ago
Yes.

I love Pit Bull, Billie Holiday, Coldplay, Rihanna.
I don't have time to stay on top of music as much as I'd like...any suggestions?

My worst habit is being self-critical.
Adventurous, decisive, curious, loyal, passionate.
What's up, Canada!

He is amazing. Just saw him last week and had a Marigold reunion with him and Ian Bohen. One of the best adventures of my life. It was unforgettable living in Bombay and Jodhpur for a month.
I am sorry to inflict my singing and dancing on everyone.
[–]AliLarter[S] 91 points92 points93 points 3 months ago
No. Not really a video gamer.

I thought it was an edgy, interesting script when I read it. It was fun to get to play against type.
[–]AliLarter[S] 88 points89 points90 points 3 months ago
Heroes is the only TV show I've been a regular on, so that's my favorite...by default.

I just finished Hunger Games trilogy, Wanderlust; The Psychopath Test is next. Ultimate favorites include Shantaram, She's Come Undone, Madame Bovary.
(Many years ago I was traveling through London with a boyfriend. He was busy with work so I went off to Bath, England, and I sat in the lavender gardens and read Madame Bovary. And I felt such despair for this woman, and the expectation of how she was supposed to live her life. I spoke to my parents about it and my Dad asked "why would you respond to that whore?" and I just didn't see her like that...I felt sorry for her, and responded to her passion to seize/live life on her terms.

I adored working with Bryan Fuller, one of the writers. He's great at developing female characters.
[–]AliLarter[S] 372 points373 points374 points 3 months ago
I respond to work that bisects human psyches. I want to work with filmmakers that have a comment on the "hero's journey." I love Jessica Lange in "Frances" and "Blue Sky" but she inhabits those roles so completely I would never dream of tackling them. It's more about inspiration that wanting to take over a role.

Colin Farrell.

Duck-sized horses, FOR SURE.

It is a creative way for me to express my feelings and comment on life. I've worked with different coaches...different classes...I feel it's ultimately the study of one's self.

I laugh at them. I am so proud to come from New Jersey. I grew up going to Stone Harbor and LB Island, the cranberry bogs and the Pine Barrens, plus there's the beautiful Jersey corn and tomatoes...and I love that people speak their mind and have a sense of humor.
