Adam seems to work with the same people on every movie. Is it hard to come in as an outsider?

No, it's not. They have been friends since college and they're very warm with each other, but they really treated me like a sister, they'd joke around with me, but then they were very sweet too. People would bring their kids every Friday, and dogs and grandmas, it was a really wonderful feeling.

Valerie, the character you play, is pivotal to Nicky's development in the movie.

Yeah, part of the reason that I did this script was that I was looking for a comedy. When I read it, I really loved the character Valerie. She had her own opinions, she had her own career, she had her own ethics and I liked that. And Adam's character is kind of different, sort of odd-ball, so she was sort of a little bit homely and her own sense of fashion and things. So I really liked this character, she's a really decent, good person.

Is it easier to make a movie when you're playing less glamourous roles?

Well I like playing different kinds of women that have different survival mechanisms. Also, in Hollywood you get pigeon holed. I think it's important to realise first of all Nicky's character is so specifically different it wouldn't really make sense for Valerie to be a glamourous, fashion model. Also when you drive down the street you don't see all that many women who really have the time to put on lots of make-up. There's something manipulative about taking all that time and presenting yourself in a certain way in the world, and Valerie's not like that.
