Sally Hawkins – Toronto's Belle of the Ball
When it comes to her own films she says, "I just love creating characters, but it's always weird to watch yourself. I'll be thinking I didn't know my mouth made that shape. It's so big. What am I doing? Ohh, don't do that!" But you just have to kind of get over it. And the older I get, the less I worry about it all." But theater has a definite allure for someone who's all about creating characters.
"There's nothing like a live audience," she says. "It's great, so very different from film. You're having to communicate to a big collection of people, but it's a two-way thing. You're getting back from the audience. You have to be aware of what's happening as well as of what you're doing." But you can overdo it. "You have to be aware but also you have to not aware," she said. "It's terrifying to be on Broadway, and it's also very exciting."
