In a new article for New Idea Magazine, Rose confronts the rumours about anorexia.

I was kind of shocked anyone would even notice me – I’m very under the radar. So when my mum rang and said: ‘Are you OK?’, I was like: ‘What are you talking about?’ [...] I think I was probably just stressed at the time from working hard on Damages and lost weight. But that was it.

Huge thank you to Jody for her help these past few weeks!

“You have very little control over your career as an actor. At my level, I still audition, but saying that you do pass on some auditions and fight for others. I’ve tried to pick the projects that I have some attraction to, but it is so up to chance. A lot of roles I’ve gotten were because someone dropped out or because I was in the right place at the right time,”

“I knock on wood all the time to thank my lucky stars that I’ve been able to work consistently in good stuff with great directors and still be completely anonymous and by no means a celebrity,” Rose says.

Ryan Painter of In This Week reviews Adam and speaks to Rose Byrne about ‘big birthdays’ auditions and taking risks in this lovely and very enjoyable interview.

Thank you Ryan for sharing this with us! =)

Gold Derby has recently uploaded the webcam chat that Rose had participated in on August 7 2009. I’m not sure if this link will work for those who live outside of Canada and the US but for those of you who would like to listen in it can be found here.

A big thank you to Roberta for the heads up! =)

ETA: Thanks to Cariel we now have a downloadable copy of the Webcam Interview in the media collection so be sure to check it out!

Michael Bodey of the Australian speaks to Rose Byrne about her career and her thoughts on the different personalities of Ellen (Damages) and Beth (Adam).

“I really like Adam and with the smaller films you never know whether it’s going to have a life — I’ve been in plenty of films that haven’t — but it played very well at the Sundance Film Festival and I think it’s a real crowd pleaser,” she says.

Byrne says the film arrived “pretty randomly” after the first season of Damages, and was shot “on a wing and a prayer”. It doesn’t feel cheap, though, and has a cinematic quality, even if it was made in 25 days in what Byrne describes as “pretty basic conditions”.

“It was also freezing in New York, so there was those sorts of things to whinge about,” she laughs. “But I was just so drawn to the script, I thought it was such a great opportunity to do something different to Damages.

“The character’s spontaneous and instinctive and (Damages’) Ellen is a lot more restrained and controlled in a lot of ways, and the TV show’s a bit more restrictive.”

The 30-year-old also wanted to do more comedies, and this qualifies as a quirky kind of comedy. The film is essentially a two-hander, with Dancy’s Adam an intense, socially awkward young man who initially doesn’t appreciate the gift of Beth as a neighbour.

I did my personal work on the script and on the character. You know, I always break down scenes and texts and stuff like that, but I knew a bit about Asperger’s already because I have a family friend who has Asperger’s. But Beth is ignorant of the condition, so I tried keep the research to a minimum. I tried to keep that somewhat realistic.

Sitting at a corner table for breakfast at a LoDo hotel recently, Dancy and Byrne discuss the peculiar responsibility that comes with starring in a film that depicts autism in an intimate way.

On the previous night, the pair had attended a screening co-hosted by the Autism Society of Colorado. There they got a fine dose of how the story resonates for people new to thinking about Asperger’s but, even more vitally, for those living with it.

“They’ve all been really embracing of the film,” says Byrne of the Aspies she’s met at publicity tour screenings.

“And they’d really tell you if they didn’t like it,” she adds with a gentle exhale of a laugh.
