PERFORMING is second-nature to New Yorker Emmy Rossum, who has appeared in 20 different operas throughout a stage career that started when she was just seven. The 19-year-old actress and singer had undergone extensive training as part of the Children’s Chorus of the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center, and it wasn’t long before she landed roles in the daytime soap “As the World Turns,” acclaimed dramas “Law and Order” and “The Practice,” and the original TV movie “The Audrey Hepburn Story.”
But perhaps her most noticed performances to date are her turns in prominent big screen projects, having played a variety of imperiled young women in the Clint Eastwood-directed “Mystic River,” Roland Emmerich’s “The Day After Tomorrow” and most recently, Joel Schumacher’s adaptation of the musical “Phantom of the Opera.” She was able to use her classically trained singing voice in that last film, and her performance earned her critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Lead Actress
in a Musical or Comedy.
Rossum, in a recent, exclusive phone interview while in Los Angeles, discussed in detail how she’s far from being the typical Hollywood teen queen. She also talked about the rewarding experience of working with Wolfgang Petersen on the disaster flick “Poseidon,” and her exploration of a special, non-film endeavor, among other topics.
How have you kept up with the unusual demands of show business while growing up?
That’s a very good question. It’s tough because my life is so unconventional in so many ways. I’m gaining so much in singing and dancing on stage and film, but even if I started my career at a young age, I still feel lucky. I have friends from when I was much younger. I don’t party with celebrities, because as a person, that’s just not who I am. I have more fun going out with my friends to the supermarket and cooking, and going to the movies with them. My family has normal 9-to-5 jobs, and for them, this is all weird and exciting, but they’re very supportive of me. I don’t have assistants or personal trainers. I’m a pretty normal person.
You’ve worked with popular and decisive directors. How valuable is it for you to experience different styles of filmmaking?
It’s increasingly valuable. Everyone has a different approach. Clint Eastwood keeps a very calm set, and whispers directions. But of course, there’s hustle and bustle in filming “Phantom” and “Poseidon,” a lot of yelling and orchestration. But Wolfgang Petersen is probably the sweetest, kindest director I worked for. In a set like that, he keeps a balance. And I knew that there was gonna be a lot of water this time, so I worked closely with it.
How exactly did you prepare for your role in “Poseidon,” and how challenging was it?
I play Jennifer, the sweet, soft, intelligent type; she’s really feisty and sexy. I regularly visit the Museum of TV and Radio in New York. It’s a great resource of mine. In “Poseidon,” it’s such a difficult thing to play someone who’s experiencing a disaster. I didn’t know how to play the right level because I’ve never encountered a tsunami or a flood, but when I listened to a tape of a girl who called during the 9/11 attacks, I understood and knew how to play it.
You’ve worked opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Gerard Butler before. Who plays your love interest this time?
Mike Vogel is a very handsome, wonderful blond guy. He’s so handsome, so it’s very easy to kiss him!
How friendly an atmosphere was the “Poseidon” set?
I became friends with Mike, Josh Lucas and Kurt Russell, who plays my dad. It’s an awesome experience. When you spend five and a half months shooting it, you see each other in the most revealing light. Kurt and Richard Dreyfuss kept us laughing. It was fun, even if we had 14 hours straight of shooting, and sometimes we had to spend up to six hours underwater. We had scuba tanks, and between takes, it was so much fun. I mean, I was taught to scuba dive and it’s not a blue screen. There are moments when actors do their own stunts, so it’s great.
How has starring in Hollywood movies affected you as an actress?
When I was younger, I wanted to be an opera star, so becoming a mainstream actress is really a surprise. I still live in New York. I still have the same friends. My work is not really a celebrity-driven thing for me, because I really do it for the acting. I don’t really strive to be famous. I want to be able to give truth to my roles.
How important is it for you to portray diverse characters?
I don’t pick the same roles, actually. “Phantom of the Opera” was a period piece; I played a vulnerable girl with emotional baggage. Now I play someone different, a contemporary woman. I’m very choosy. I’ve turned down roles before. I only do parts that touch me and are entertaining and meaningful. I want it to be worth the viewer’s $10. That’s how much a movie is in America, and it’s a lot. I only tell people to watch it if it’s worth their $10.
You’re currently working on your debut album. Please describe your music.
It’s under Geffen Records, and it’s coming out next year. I’m writing the lyrics. A lot of it is self-expression and it’s very fulfilling. It’s letting my fans in on who I am and it’s an opportunity for me to be really creative. I’m a soprano but I have a very big range. I think the sound that I’m going for is not traditional Britney Spears pop music at all. I wanna bring something new to it. My influences are David Gray and Sarah McLachlan, so it has a much edgier vibe.
What’s the most important thing you’ve learned so far about your work and the business?
The most important thing I learned is that… (pauses). I don’t know. I’ve never been asked that before. I guess I’m (learning that I’m) my own worst critic and I push myself too hard. The greatest advice that Jake Gylenhaal gave me was to get a mentor. And one of my co-stars in “Mystic River,” Marcia Gay Harden, became that because none of my family really is a part of this. I admire her work and respect her. I can always call her, and she tells me that the smartest people ask for help and seek out information. I’m blessed and I feel incredibly lucky! A lot of success I’ve had is because I gave 150 percent into what I do. Yes, 150 percent (laughs). I wanna keep doing films and singing. I’m really excited and optimistic.

Gorgeous dress! Anyone know who the designer is?
Anyone know who the designer is?Does anyone have any candid pics of her? I haven't seen any besides the ones a few pages back. It's odd that there aren't hardly any, I've seen plenty of candids of less famous people, like that girl from Laguna Beach.
