rooney can come across as awkward in some interviews but u can tell here she's very poised and composed, very intelligent, just introverted. a real thinker.

People seem to praise extroverts more than introverts... But I like that mysterious, fascinating and observant vibes about Rooney

[Rosengris]

I like the way Rooney talks, she doesn't rush in to fill the silence with words. She takes time to think about her answers. Sure, the conversation doesn't flow as well, but what she has to say feels honest and stripped of the usual showbiz BS.

[minervamo]

She's captivating. Her talking pace, how she takes time to choose the right words really shows how intelligent she is.

[daniellemoonstar]

i dunno if its just me but her face, her beauty is captivating.

[eaueespies]

She is so introverted and perfect <3

Don't mess with her bubble!

[alaktus]

I want to get to know her, she's so intriguing and absolutely mesmerising and she's not even aware of it

[han]

She’s so angelic and mysterious. Love her

[gyove]

Beautiful, well-spoken, reserved, understated, very intelligent, with a great sense of integrity and decency, her answers are always insightful and well-thought-out. A pleasure to listen to...

[vincentzetta]

just saw Carol, shes AMAZING. the way she emotes and the subtle expressions ....

[JZ]

She's very intelligent, very real. I like her.

[dianesullivan]

An introvert yet extraordinary. I just saw the movie and I absolutely loved it! Cate Blanchett has always been my favorite actor and she was mesmerizing in Carol. Actually, so was Rooney in a different way!

[bennyvega]

I'm a big fan of Rooney. She reminds me of Audrey Hepburn...especially in Carol. She looks a lot like Lily Collins too.

[RookieN]

Considering how much I love 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', I hope that David Fincher collaborate with Rooney Mara again someday. Rooney Mara's cast type perfectly fits David Fincher's directing style.

[bdtibbs]

I’m I really amazed by her. Not only is she an excellent actress but definitely not snobbish. She tells the truth of how she feels. That face and her eyes are beautiful. She’s exotic, exquisite. At times she reminds me of a Greek goddess. She’s as beautiful as Cate. They just have a different kind of beauty. I just wish more people would concentrate on her.

Thanks for this interview, I like Rooney ( I'm fan), she never gets to speak much of her personal stuff, and yet she was laughing . Thanks for that .

[jabciuthehut]

your interviews are so unique. completely different from anything else you see. I love it.

[spiderliliez]

What a treat... Cate, now Rooney, thank you David!

[Warnerchild]
