Yeah, it was so good. I was so-o-o mean to her before [in Hide and Seek ]. Man, I felt bad because I love Elisabeth so much, but I got to be nice with her in this movie. That's what I like about doing movies because you get to do things and portray characters that you would never do or be like in your real life, ever.
