Isnt it weird how she says she loves chocolat, yet in an INSTYLE interview she said she never eats sweets, because they dont make her feel good ?
I think she said she doesn't eat junk food. But she could have changed. That InStyle interview was a few years ago.
 
New Poseidon Stills of Emmy!


Edit:
Sorry guys those poseidon pictures were way too massive and destroying the layout of the page. If anyone else wants to resize them slight and repost them, they are more than welcome.



Mel from Emmyrossumfan.com recently posted a question that Emmy just answered.

Please share a recent embarrassing moment - one that hasn't been shared in an interview already.
You mean besides saying Carmen when I meant La Boheme?

Ok, so I'm a new driver (just got my license. Yay!) and I'm not used to parking garages. I was shopping at a mall last weekend and when I went to get my car out of the garage I realized I only had $2.00 in cash left in my wallet when the amount due was $5.00. When I went to use my ATM card, it had been demagnetized by being next to my credit card. I felt like such a dope! I needed cash in order to get my car out of the garage so I went over to the movie theatre and I saw two girls standing on line for tickets. I told them the story and asked if I could pay for their tickets on my credit card would they give me the cash back? They were a little dubious but finally agreed and I got my car back! So embarrassing![/b]

Yeah poor Emmy. I bet those girls were a little bit weirded out though. I know I would be.^_^
Those pictures really make me want to see Poseidon! :woot:
 
Mel posted more Emmy answers on her forum. Enjoy!

Doesn't it get tiring preparing for the red carpet as often as you do?
Yes and no. Its part of the job and mostly its fun but it can be exhausting. It’s a lot of work because I don't use a stylist. I like to pick the clothes myself and I like to have relationships directly with the designers. That way I think they get to know me, the clothes reflect my own tastes and the designers know that I genuinely appreciate their work. I like to work with people directly without having a lot of intermediaries. Making the films is really the hardest part of the job, so although it’s a lot of work doing the press, its nice to get dressed up and celebrate the hard work.

Where do you see your career going in the future? Like do you want to do theater one day (musical or non-musical?) What kinds of films do you want to do (comedies, drama, romance etc)? What would your dream role be?
I would love to work on Broadway if the right play came along, especially because New York City is my home and I love being here. I would do a musical, a comedy or a drama on Broadway or a film if I felt that the project would be challenging and meaningful to me.

What message, if any, do you hope to send to the public now that you're in the limelight? Do you see yourself as role model? Will you advocate a specific charity or organization? In essence, how will you (or do you want to) use your fame for a common good?
That's a tough question. I'm only reminded of my responsibility as a role model when people tell me that I am. I've been pretty quiet about expressing my personal views in public because I don't like when actors or celebrities use their fame as a platform. But as I grow up, I'm a little more comfortable talking about things that really matter to me and in which I am really involved.
The environment is really important to me. One of the reasons I'm glad I did “The Day After Tomorrow” is because it opened a dialogue about the effects of global warming. My favorite vacation was in Alaska trekking through the wilderness with my mom when I was 7 years old. It was an amazing experience for me to see wildlife, Denali, and the glaciers up close. But many of the glaciers that I stood on at that time have melted. Most scientists believe this is due to a rise in world temperatures caused by the burning of fossil fuels and by deforestation. I don’t expect everyone to walk to work, but we can try to do our small parts, conserve energy and even plant trees. Recently, I purchased a hybrid car. I work with Global Green to raise money for the protection of the environment and to raise awareness of ecological issues.
If we’re talking about role models and messages, what's up with super skinny celebrities? While they are setting a terrible example, they are being featured and praised by fashion magazines and heralded as fashion icons. The truth is, you only get that skinny by doing something unhealthy. I don’t think being that skinny looks pretty and I don’t think it looks sexy. The sexiest quality is confidence and girls should feel proud and happy with their bodies!.

Self restraint and patience seem to be 2 virtues you almost unconsciously possess... how on earth can you stand half the interviews and photo shoots necessary to your work?! Is it tough sometimes to resist hitting an idiotic reporter or photographer? (this reads as a stupid question, but when i watched those vids of her at the award show getting the pics taken, i just thought "i'd go mad!!!")
That's a good question! Traveling all around the world to promote the films is a lot of work. Sometimes there are sixty or more interviews in one day… one every five minutes. The photo shoots are hard work too. I try to take on films that I think I'll be proud to talk about and for which the interviews and photo shoots wont feel like a chore. Ninety-nine percent of the journalists are very polite and very bright and I have a good time talking to them. The photographers, hair and makeup stylists are also very nice, so while everyone’s working really hard, we still have a good time. The other day I did several photo shoots in the same day and the photographer shot 68 rolls of film.
The only thing that annoys me is when reporters make things up, mislead the public or blow stuff out of proportion. They do it to a lot of actors. I lead a pretty clean normal life outside the film business. So besides writing about my film and music career, there's really nothing to gossip about in the articles. Most of the journalists are very responsible but sometimes you encounter one who makes things up to make a “juicy” story. This can be hurtful.

How is Chrissy?
She's awesome! Thanks for asking! I’m giving her a bath today in the sink.

Do you need a bodyguard or a yard worker?
Nope, I don't have any employees -- no assistant, stylist, or personal trainer -- and I don't have a yard because I have an apartment in New York, so no gardener.

Who is your celebrity crush?
Rob Lowe. in any movie, at any age. *sighs*

What was your favourite movie this year?
I liked both Crash and Brokeback Mountain (Go Jake!!!)

Which director would you like to work with?
Sophia Coppola, Mike Leigh, Baz Luhrmann, Curtis Hanson, Denzel Washington. the list goes on.

Have you been to New Zealand and have you seen Lord of the Rings?
I've never been to New Zealand, but I've heard it's really beautiful and have always wanted to go! Yes, I loved Lord of the Rings!

What is the biggest obstacle you had to overcome to get to where you are today?
I would say the stunt work in Poseidon was one of the most challenging things I've done. I had to learn how to scuba diva, to use a respirator, and to free dive and I was definitely freaked out at first. The idea that you are going to be 20ft underwater in an enclosed space without goggles (so you are pretty much blind) or air is a scary thing! But once I realized that fear is 90% mental then I could overcome it. And I'm really glad I was able to! Now I can go scuba diving on my next vacation.

Do you consider yourself "lucky" in terms of success? Or do you feel you have rightfully earned it? Do you feel you 'deserve' what you've achieved thus far?
I think that I've worked really hard and been really lucky. Some of my success is due to being in the right place at the right time, and then working really hard to get the part and being as honest as possible in the performance. So I think it's been a combination. My motto is “stay focused and have fun.” That kind of explains how I approach my work.

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.
 
She looks great in those pics, thanks for putting them up! :) It's great that she isn't overexposed and even better, she isn't a media/trend/attention-wh*re...unlike CERTAIN stars her age. She isn't an "airhead" based on her interviews either and she seems nice and down-to-earth. :)
 
Those are great interviews thanks :flower:

She sounds like such a down to earth person, a breath of fresh air really.

I loved this part

It was very nice of her to agree to do a fan interview like that. Just to take the time to consider and answer everyone's questions was very thoughtful of her I think, and not something a lot of celebs would be willling to do.
