MARISA TOMEI Q&A:
On Alfie Elkins:
Alfie is a cad, a rake, a bad boy, and completely charming. He has a lot more to him that he doesn’t allow [to come] out.
On Her Character Julie's Relationship With Alfie:
I suppose my character kind of sees the potential in him, plus of course, he's very pretty. He lets his guard down a little with me and it’s just enough to keep me hooked into him, to keep thinking he's going to let it all down, but he doesn’t. And he feels kind of safer and cozier, and kind of a domestic bliss [with Julie].
On Director Charles Shyer:
Charles knows exactly what he wants and he has a great sense of comedy. There is nothing better than getting him to laugh. He's right there with you in the scene and he’s focused on everything you say, and he's a great partner to have.
On the Film:
I think it’s really funny and really true, and I think that it will be entertaining, but it’s about something and about what goes on between men and women and, particularly, with that kind of guy.
