I'm so proud of being in Brick. Laura is a femme fatale, but I didn't want to play her too big. She's still in high school, after all. I didn't want her to become a parody. I hadn't seen The Maltese Falcon or The Big Sleep before filming Brick. I still haven't. Rian [Johnson] didn't want us to watch any film noir because he didn't want us to imitate anything from those movies, even subconsciously.

I liked the dialogue in Brick. You do have to approach it musically, but after I'd read it several times, it seemed to come quite naturally. And we rehearsed for a long time. Joe [Gordon-Levitt] and I would go to Rian's [Johnson] house to block scenes and go over dialogue. The shoot was only 20 days. Rian was amazing. He seemed so relaxed. The first time we went, Rian cooked us lunch - stuffed red bell peppers. He's a good cook. But after that we mostly ate take-outs.
