Before I start adding recent pictures, I’ve gone through the latest news and added a bunch of new articles, which you can read below. With that comes some other content additions, including Trivia, Quotes (one by her about Kristen Stewart, and a couple from William Hurt), updates to the Grown Ups & The Yellow Handkerchief filmography pages (quotes and reviews), and 3 new 2010 Press interviews.
The new interviews are definitely worth a read – Maria is so eloquent and I just love reading her interviews!
“I’ve never been a research person. I believe that my job is just to be present where I am and that one moment will lead to another moment, like in life. I’ve tried to work like that.”
“I know! Can you believe I was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for that? I was shocked!”
“It’s a very intense movie. I just shot it a couple months ago with Michael Sheen, here in LA. Three weeks. It made me fall in love with acting again! It’s a beautiful script and such an emotional story about these parents whose son goes through a Columbine-type shooting. It’s about their relationship really, how it falls apart and coming together and what that means.”
“I’ve never been a big film watcher, but since I got into the Academy two years ago, I try to watch every single thing that I get. I think everyone deserves a fair shake.”

“When I was growing up, my mother was a nurse and my father was a construction worker. If anyone was in need, they were there. They would just jump in immediately and get their hands dirty. We’re workers in my family. All I did in Haiti was to lend a hand and be a worker and they taught me that.”
