MY CINEMATIC ARTS DEGREE. BUT THE AUDITION WAS GREAT
BECAUSE YOU DO THE AUDITION AND
THEN YOU DO THE DIRECTORS READ
AND THE CHEMISTRY READ IS WHEN

I THINK ITS NORMAL TO HAVE
NERVES.
WHEN YOU GO ON THE SET AND ARE
LOOKING AROUND AND EVERYONE IS STARING AT YOU WAITING FOR YOU
TO DO YOUR JOB, YOURE LIKE OH,
MY GOD, I CANT SCREW UP.
BUT OVER TIME YOU BECOME A
FAMILY.
FAMILY.
EVERYONE WANTS THE SAME THING

GREAT MOVIE.

>> BELLA IS GREAT.
SHE PLAYS SOMEBODY WITH XP, A REAL LIFE CONDITION WHERE SHE
CANNOT GO IN THE SUN.
SHES LOVED YOU SINCE YOU WERE A
KID WATCHING YOU.
THERES DIFFERENT FEELINGS
HAPPENING THERE.
HAPPENING THERE.
YOUVE PREPARED FOR OTHER ROLES. YOU WERE AT FT. HOOD FOR THREE.
YOU WERE AT FT. HOOD FOR THREE MONTHS FOR THE MILITARY STUFF.
HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A ROLE
LIKE THIS?
LIKE THIS? >> THIS GUY, CHARLIE, IS SOMEONE
WHO ON THE OUTSIDE SEEMS TO HAVE
EVERYTHING GOING FOR HIM.
HES A GREAT-LOOKING GUY, HIGH
SCHOOL ALL STAR, SWIMMING TEAM.
AS YOU LEARN HES A LITTLE BIT
MORE INTERNALLY LOST.
HE LOST HIS SCHOLARSHIP, WHICH I
CAN UNDERSTAND FROM GOING TO
SCHOOL WHAT THATS LIKE, WORKING
YOUR BUTT OFF EVERY DAY TRYING
TO GET THAT JOB.
AND, YOU KNOW, THIS -- PREPARING
FOR THIS ROLE WAS WAY DIFFERENT
THAN SOMETHING LIKE YOU SAID FT.
HOOD WHERE IM LIVING ON THE
ACTUAL MILITARY BASE FOR THREE
AND A HALF MONTHS AND BECOMING A
SOLDIER.
SOLDIER.
SO --
>> YOU STUDIED XP?
>> YEAH.
LIKE YOU SAID IN THE FIRST TWO-THIRDS OF THE MOVIE ITS
UNBEKNOWNST TO ME.
I DIDNT KNOW WHAT XP WAS UNTIL
I READ THE SCRIPT.
DOING THE RESEARCH ON XP,
MEETING PEOPLE THAT HAD XP,
MEETING WITH THE ORGANIZATION,
ITS CRAZY.
ITS CRAZY.
>> YOUVE GOT A LOT OF FANS, WHICH ITS GOT TO BE FUN WHEN
YOURE WALKING DOWN THE STREET.
AND WE WERE THINKING IT WOULD BE
KIND OF COOL IF ONE OF YOUR
CRAZIEST FANS JUST CALLED IN.
>> THEYRE CALLING IN NOW.
>> I THINK WE DO HAVE ONE OF
YOUR NUMBER ONES ON THE PHONE.
HI, ARE YOU HERE TO TALK TO
PATRICK THIS.
PATRICK THIS.
>> YES, I AM.
I WAS WONDERING IF THIS FILM WAS FOR WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE ORWAS
FOR WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE OR JUST YOUNG GIRLS?
>> THAT IS THE VOICE OF YOUR
MOM, MARIA SHRIVER.
>> HI, MOM. >> CANT SHAKE MOM.
>> MARIA, YOU WENT TO THE
PREMIERE, MARIA.
PREMIERE, MARIA. HOW WAS IT WATCHING YOUR LITTLE
BOY ON THE BIG SCREEN?
>> OH, IT WAS -- IT WAS SO
EXCITING.
EXCITING.
OF COURSE MY ENTIRE ROW, WE WERE ALL SOBBING, BUT THE GIRLSE WERE
ALL SOBBING, BUT THE GIRLS BEHIND US WERE LIKE -- I THOUGHT
THEY MIGHT NEED PARAMEDICS, THEY
WERE CRYING SO HARD.
>> MARIA, HES CUTE AND CHARMING
IN 99% OF THE MOVIE.
THERES A SCENE WHERE HE DOES
FIND OUT ABOUT BELLAS CONDITION
AND HE SHOWS SOME REAL ACTING
CHAUPGS
CHAUPGS CHOPS.
CHOPS. WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
>> HE WORKS SO HARD, HE TAKES
ACTING CLASSES, HE STUDIES ALL
THE TIME, HE HAS PARTNERS, HE
REALLY TAKES IT SERIOUSLY.
SO I THINK WHATEVER HE PUTS HIS
MIND TO HELL ACCOMPLISH BECAUSE
HES VERY DEDICATED, HE HAS A
GREAT WORK ETHIC WHICH IS REALLY
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. HE GOES OUT AND AUDITIONS ALL
THE TIME AND GETS REJECTED, HE
JUST KEEPS AT IT AND GETS BETTER
AND BETTER AND I THINK THATS
WHAT IT TAKES.
>> HES LIKE, MOM, ITS MY INTERVIEW.E, MOM, ITS MY
INTERVIEW.
>> I KNOW, GOOD-BYE. >> WE LOVE YOU, MARIA.
>> LOVE YOU, MOM.
>> LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU.
COME HOME SAFE, BYE.
>> BY THE WAY, DID YOU GET ANY
ACTING TIPS FROM YOUR DAD?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. AND KIND OF WHAT MY MOM JUST
SAID.
SAID.
THE AMOUNT OF TIMES YOU GET REJECTED AND STUFF IN THIST
REJECTED AND STUFF IN THIS INDUSTRY, ITS ASTRONOMICAL.
SO MY DAD IS SOMEONE THATS
NEVER GIVE UP.
REALLY IF YOU COULD JUST FALL
ASLEEP RIGHT NOW AND CREATE THE
BEST DREAM EVER, WHAT IS THAT?
GO RIGHT THAT DOWN AND UTILIZE
EVERY DAY TO MAKE THAT DREAM
BECOME A REALITY.
>> GOOD ADVICE.
>> BUT NEVER GIVE UP.
THE AMOUNT OF TIMES HE WAS TOLD
NO, NO, NO, AND HE KEPT
PERSISTING THROUGH IT.
THATS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IN
THIS INDUSTRY.
THIS INDUSTRY. IVE BEEN TOLD NO SO MANY TIMES.
SO IM SO BLESSED TO HAVE THIS
ROLE, ITS COMING OUT TODAY AND
ITS JUST SUCH A DREAM COME
TRUE.
TRUE.
>> YOURE GREAT IN IT.
>> DONT YOU THINK WELL BE
SEEING A LOT OF THIS KID?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK LATER IN LIFE GIVEN YOUR
PEDIGREE MAYBE POLITICS.
>> MAYBE.
>> HAVE YOU RULED OUT POLITICS?
>> I HAVENT RULED OUT ANYTHING.
IM 24 SO I HOPE TO HAVE A LONG
CAREER PATH OF EVERYTHING I WANT
TO DO.
BUT I WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK
HERE.

MUGS.
IVE ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THESE
MUGS.
