Here is part of an interview she did with the Guardian in 2006: “Gwyneth Paltrow divides her films into two categories: those she does for love and those she does for money, or “shite” as she calls them, tentatively road-testing the British vernacular. Into the former category goes Sylvia, which, she says, “because it’s a movie about a poet who killed herself, [didn’t] have a big audience”, and The Royal Tenenbaums.” So not only does she play a character who is probably one who is amongst my favourite characters ever (and needless to say part of my favourite couple ever) she also fucking loved playing it. Also, anyone who gets to play my dearest dearest heroine and loves that as well, well, enough said. It’s a shame Royal Tenenbaums ruined any other GP movie for me though. Seeing her not as Margot and not pining after Richie just breaks me. Especially in Glee.
