HER BROTHER'S MOVIE
I asked, ''Can I please be in [The Good Night]?'' Jake kept resisting. He
thought, ''It's my first film, and I don't want it to be associated with
you.'' Slowly he [realized], ''My sister's a really good actress and if
she wants to be in the film, I might as well.''
HAVING IT ALL
I hadn't worked in a long time. I was really committed to being home.
Then I finally agreed to do this movie Iron Man [a comic-book adaptation
with Robert Downey Jr.]. I reached a place where I thought, ''It's okay
that I have a passion for something besides my family.'' I love making
films. If I do one thing that makes me fulfilled, then I'm a more
interesting woman for my children.
PEERS OF INFLUENCE
I'm not going to work like I did before I had kids. [Paltrow and her
husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, have two children: Apple, 2,
and Moses, 10 months.] I want to call Kate Winslet and say, ''Can you
tell me how to do this?'' Or call Cate Blanchett and ask her to describe
[her day] from 7 a.m. on, and tell me what to do, because I don't know
how to do this. But it's not going to be back-to-back films.
THOSE PESKY RAGS
You want to be an actor. You don't want to be in whatever tabloid. To
me, those worlds seem mutually exclusive. And I fully understand that
for whatever reason I'm one of those people where there's an interest,
if you will, in my personal life. But I do think people are kind of
bored. I've got a couple kids, a husband, I've just been at home.
HER BEST-PIC PICK
I was really killed by Babel, I loved it so much. Especially the two
women, Adriana Barraza and Rinko Kikuchi.
