Catherine Zeta Jones interview

soFem The romance with Aaron Eckhart, your partner in the movie, also is a very modern way because they're not in a seduction story at the beginning, they're in competition.  
CJZ They're so confrontational : she's very jealous of the way he's able to be a great chef but with flamboyance and joie de vivre and she can't bring herself to be like him in that way. 

soFem Do you think he's jealous of her talent too?  
CJZ I think he's enspired and enamoured by her talent. I mean it's so confrontational I can't even imagine at the beginning of the movie how he would even like me, my character, but as the film unfolds she sees a different side to him as she grows as a character and as she opens up as a woman.
