A bit. Here, "new things" she said
Rooney Mara: " THE THING THAT I LIKE THE MOST (of acting) IS TO GET LOST"
I met Rooney in Los Angeles. She has black hair all on the one hand and in her dress Louis Vuitton black I see a super-chic version of the hard hacker Lisbeth Salander in the Millennium saga, but also the elegance of the sweetest Lucy, co-star of the film Lion
Rooney, you´re one of the stars more reserved in Hollywood .How do you stay away from the spotlight?
You will not believe me, but most of the time I can walk without being disturbed. And if it were not so, I could not have a good life
You like to play, however, people with difficult lives.
"It's odd: when I work, I find myself immersed in an alternate world. It is not real, but it seems, since for several weeks I have to live the life of other. However, after the last take, I just want to go back to being myself. That is the only reality that I want. "
You will turn 32 year old in April, Do you feel that something it has changed?
"Yes, by dint of unsettling roles, every time I feel like a different person."
It is not confusing?
"Not at all, in fact I hope it goes on for so long. If I look into my past, there are aspects of me that are almost unrecognizable today. And I like that.
What goals do you have before 40?
"The other day I was thinking that if the world does not change, I have 10 or 15 years before my career is basically over. And because the stories are temperamentally a bit 'cynical I would like to stage as much as possible of positive stories, they can push us, perhaps, to hope for a better world. "
But The Discovery premise tells of an epidemic of suicides.
"The Discovery must be seen until the end, before you judge it. Anyway, today I do not think you can expect too much consistency from me: I only slept three hours last night. "
Why?
"It took a lot of work to get this face and this look," she laughs. "No, the truth is that when I work, all that has to do with the wellcare and care of myself goes to the second floor. I try to exercise every day, eat well and regular hours, sleep: but do not always succeed. Tonight, for example, I have failed. "
How do you keep your feet on the ground?
"Right now I'm not capable, I am a bit 'lost. Sometimes I think that part of the actress lives is having to sell their image to others, and I'm not as good as the seller. I know who I am, but I find it hard to feel truly free in a world where appearances count more than substance. "
It is the harsh law of Hollywood.
"Yeah, I undertake to adapt for one reason only: because I know the sacrifices and the red carpets that would avoid still worth the price of the life I have."
Another of the obligations is to travel a lot. Is there any place in the world, where you starred, that remains in your heart?
"When I was 17 I made a wonderful journey through Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru: four months with backpackers who have changed my life, showing me a real world without the protective shield of the privileges that I had up to that point. If I think of my adult life, though, perhaps the place that changed me is Kenya. "
Why?
"I felt an immediate connection with those places and with those who lived them. We often use the word "problem" because we broke the screen of your phone, or lose patience because the internet does not work on the plane. Then go to Africa and see it with your eyes, because they actually already know, that women are fighting every day to feed their children, pay the rent, survive disease. Tell it like it is trivial, but there I saw the world as it is, with all its real difficulties. "
It decided to create Faces of Kibera, a foundation that helps orphans in Kibera, Nairobi. By attending the community, you dont have the wish to start a family, or even to adopt one of those children?
"I believe that everything is possible, I´m open to all possibilities because a family is a dream. But perhaps it is still early, it cant be the answer for the same question in five years. "
I made it because, in the past, you had already talked about adoptions.
"Yes, the issue has always interested me and I even tried to convince my parents to take a child with us."
Why?
One of my first jobs was in a campus for children and remember to have met an adopted girl, was extraordinary. One thing I learned growing up, however, is that we should not necessarily oriented to Africa or India, when you plan to adopt: in the US there are still many children in need. Sometimes we forget how well you can do to those who are already here. "
This Christian spirit is also the role of Mary Magdalene, the woman who witnessed the resurrection of Jesus? This film, which we will see next year, changed your relationship with religion?
"It is not a religious film, but a spiritual history: we want to send a message as universal as possible."
You shot in Sicily, in the province of Trapani, in Matera, Naples and Rome. What you found in Italy?
"Part of my origins. I'm half Italian (maternal grandmother Rooney was, ed). And then, thanks to the Italian set, have been able to get away from Los Angeles for a while '. "
In short, if there is an anti-diva diva, this is Rooney. Before we say goodbye I ask something about Song to Song, the musical film of the cult director Terrence Malick, famous for leaving his interpreters unaware of the plot of his work:
"It's been five years since we walked around and finally we will see the film , she says smiling. "Terrence is just as describe him: he told us an outline of the plot, he told us two or three details about the characters and then off. Every day on the set was going for something different, we never knew what to expect. But we were there for. "
