Here's the next batch of answers to the Emmyfans questions:
Has your perfectionism ever gotten the best of you? What keeps you from obsessing over success and keeps your feet on the ground?
Honestly, yes, sometimes my perfectionism makes me work too hard and that can drive me a little crazy. My friends help keep me grounded. They'll make me stop working and go for a hike, ice-skating or to the movies.
Despite your success, do you ever feel inadequate, like what you've achieved isn't enough?
Absolutely. Sometimes I think, "I could have" and "I should have" but everyone feels that way sometimes. As long as I know I did my best, worked hard, and gave it my all, then there are no regrets. I don't think anyone gets everything they hope for but I'm proud of my success so far and looking forward to what I hope to achieve.
Do you have any personal limits as to what you're willing to do in a movie, regarding sex and nudity and whatnot? Or is it all for the sake of film?
It's hard to say, I'm not jumping at the opportunity to take my clothes off. But it's not something I would NEVER do. It's not that I would be afraid to bare it all, because acting is quite emotionally baring and revealing. But it would have to be crucial to the script because I don't like tasteless or unnecessary nudity.
What should the most perfect day of your whole life be like?
I don't know about the most perfect day, but here's what sounds perfect right now. Hanging out on the beach with friends over the summer eating ice cream and then having a barbeque at night and dancing!
What do you think about Das Boot?
It's an awesome movie! That movie is one of the biggest reasons I wanted to work with Wolfgang. He strikes the perfect balance between character development and pacing. In movies like Das Boot or Perfect Storm, we are so invested in the situation because we get to know the characters as real, complex people. That's something that impressed me about Wolfgang’s work. Even though he does big event films, he cares deeply about the characters and the story he is telling. On the set, he was very open to our input about dialogue and characterization.
How do you get your curls so beautiful? I have frizzy and dull curly hair. I've used so many different products, and nothing works. If you could answer this, I will be forever grateful.
From one curly girl to another, I have tried everything! I would recommend shampooing every other day (too much shampooing can cause frizz) and conditioning every day. Rinse all conditioner out and brush through. Apply a styling gel (like Got2B Curl-vacious defining curl crème) and comb through. Flip head upside down and scrunch. Then gently flip back up and air dry or diffuse. When dry , you can add a few extra curls by wrapping around a curling iron.
Also, I like Aura shampoos and conditioners and Kerastase Masque Intensive conditioner. Any gel or serum with dimethicone as an ingredient, like Zero Frizz products, will fight frizz when applied to wet hair.
How do your feel about your meteoric rise to fame after The Day After Tomorrow, and especially, Phantom Of The Opera, and are you flattered by the immense praise your legions of fans give you?
I cannot tell you how much your support means to me!. Knowing that you enjoy my films makes me happy and gives me the fuel to continue!
Who is your fashion inspiration?
Probably Audrey Hepburn. She was always so feminine, classic and beautiful.
Emmy, do you know where Lithuania is?
Yes, but I've never been there.
What were your favourite and least favourite school subjects?
My favorite subjects were Science, Math and English. I have to admit I didn't like History back then. I thought it was so boring, but now I find it much more interesting and I like to read up on the history of the countries that I travel to.
Would you get ugly for movie role like Charlize Theron did in Monster?
If the role required it, definitely. I don't think I'm a very vain person so that doesn't scare me.
When are you going to do indie movies?
Hopefully the next film I do will be smaller and more character driven. Its hard to get small films made or “greenlit.” Still, I approach the bigger movies with the same commitment to character as the indies that I did when I started, like SongCatcher.
Is this article true?
No vacancy for Hilton
Here's your Hollywood pecking orderupdate, as of the Teen Vogue party last Tuesday: "Paris [Hilton] wanted Wilmer [Valderrama] to move so sh could have his table, but he wouldn't," says a spy at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel.
Apparently Paris and her buddy Kimberly Stewart had been enjoying a few cocktails.
"Finally, ['Phantom of the Opera' star] Emmy Rossum gave up her table, saying: 'If Paris doesn't sit down soon she's going to fall into the pool.'" Crisis averted!
Yes, this is true. I've actually met her on a few subsequent occasions and she seems really sweet.
Do you watch any foreign movies?
Yes, I like all different kinds of movies. A few weeks ago I saw "Paradise Now." It's really heavy.
And what do you wish you were good at but aren't?
Drawing or painting. I have no eye for it and I really admire people who draw and paint beautifully.
What intimidates you?
Yelling. I really don't like yelling. *winces*
What's your signature perfume?
My old favorite is Gucci Eau de Parfum 1. It’s sophisticated and feels very fall/winter. I also like Victor and Rolf Flower Bomb. It's very feminine and nice for summer.
And is there ever a time when your hair looks bad?
Yep, when it gets really humid I get super curly!
Oh, and what was your favorite Disney movie as a kid?
“Little Mermaid.” I know how corny this sounds but I love "Part of Your World.”
Emmy, would you ever go out or have a relationship with a regular guy who is not a celebrity?
I actually prefer dating "regular" guys. I like to have some separation between my work life and my private life. I think about work all day long, so at the end of the day I want to hang out with my boyfriend and not talk about work! I think this would be hard if I dated a celebrity. Also, I like guys who can teach me about things I don't know like golf or hockey or history.
Which scene in which movie was the hardest for you to play?
The end of Phantom in the lair with the triangle between Christine, the Phantom and Raoul was very emotionally difficult because of what Christine is feeling and how she is forced to decide. It's those kind of days, which are the most emotional on set, that are the most exhausting and the most fulfilling. I go home after and am so proud that I did it!
What is the main memory that you will always have in mind from "The Phantom of the Opera?"
So many different ones, standing up for 10 hours straight shooting the Aria scene holding up that heavy dress and not complaining because I couldn't even believe I'd gotten the part! I was still so happy! Shooting “Wishing” in the cemetery and getting bits of fake snow stuck to my lipstick. Getting out of the boat stepping into the Phantom's lair and praying I didn't trip and fall into the water! Joel directing us over the megaphone and telling jokes to keep up the morale.
What do you do on a day when you have no "celebrity-thing" going on?
Go on a hike, hang out with Chrissie, sing, take a drive and write lyrics in the mountains, cook for my friends and watch a great movie.
If you could visit any place in the entire world that you have never been to, where would it be and why?
China! I am actually going in June with friends! I am really excited! It's my 2 week vacation this year. I want to see the Great Wall, the terracotta warriors, the Forbidden City.
