"My favorite film is "The English Patient" so when I got to play Ralph Fiennes' wife in his stage adaptation of "Coriolanus", I was like ‘YES!’
"I love that movie so much because I was really young when I saw it and those actors were so brave. The sex scenes, the nudity and the love story is epic. They are real actors in that movie. That's when I realized what I wanted to do. I wanted to play really brave characters and work with these people. Any time it’s on television I watch it and I cry.
"Then I think I should just call Ralph up and just say hi, 'Hey Ralph.'"
Jessica Chastain was just nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in "The Help," and can also be seen in "Texas Killing Fields," which hits DVD and Blu-ray this week.
