Julianne Moore co-stars in her husband Bart Freundlich's romantic comedy, "Trust the Man," now playing in limited release. Moore, along with David Duchovny, Billy Crudup, and Maggie Gyllenhaal, star in this ensemble about two couples in the lower east side of Manhattan who struggle at the crossroads of their relationships. Moore plays a closed off actress who can't seem to get her sex-addicted husband (Duchovny) off her back.

She talks about working in her third film with her husband in an interview below.

Q: Is it strange to have Bart around when you're filming intimate scenes with David?

JULIANNE: Bart hates it. He hates it! He hates it when I make out with anybody, when I hold hands, when I talk about it, if I have a phone call...I had a phone call in the car about nudity and I said, "No, I'm not doing it. It's not happening." He was in a terrible mood. He was like, "I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT!" I said, "I'm not! I just said I wasn't!" But he hates it, even the kissing. I had to remind him, "You wrote it, by the way. It's not like it was my idea."

Q: How does the fact that you're married affect how you two work together and an actress and director?

JULIANNE: Because we know each other so well, I know when he's unhappy. I know when he's tense. I think those are things you sometimes rather not know about a director. Usually, people are usually good about hiding the tiniest little feelings because you're working. But because I'm married to him, I can see it in his eyes. I know a certain set of his mouth when he's unhappy. It's like more information that you necessarily want to have. But you do have that information. That's kind of the nature of when you work with someone you're married to. But you have it and kind of deal with it. But he's wonderful at adapting himself to each actor's needs. Every actor's got a different way of working and he's able to tough it out. He's really good at it.

Q: Does that give you any additional insight into your character?

JULIANNE: All of it, for me, comes from the script and he's written it. If I do something, it's usually because I feel an affinity for the script or the character. A lot of what I do takes place when I read it.

Q: Do you read the script along with Bart?

JULIANNE: No, no, no, no. That would be weird, if I had to act with Bart.

Q: Where do you see the flaws in your character and how she contributes to the struggling relationship?

JULIANNE: She's not really sympathetic with what her husband's going through, which is what I like. I like the fact that she's not so perfect. She could be like, "Oh honey, you're so lost." Instead, she's like, "This is really bugging me. He's desperate so I won't sleep with him" so she's hoping the whole problem will go away without her having to engage in it. I also like the fact that she's normal. She's not a saint either. She's been married and married for a long time so there are some things that she takes for granted in a relationship.

Q: Do you take anything from your own life into the character?

JULIANNE: The fact that she's an actress. That's what I liked about this movie. Everybody has a job, everybody has something to do but the focus is on their personal lives. For me, I am an actress. I live in New York City. I'm married, I have kids. It's always about my family takes the primary focus in my life but my work is always in or around it, so you kind of see how that interacts. That's something I have a lot of knowledge about.

Q: Was it nice to do a comedy like this after doing a heavy drama like "Freedomland."

JULIANNE: It's nice when it works out that way. You don't want to do the same thing everytime. You can't cry everytime. It's nice to vary it.

Q: Did it help that all of you (except Maggie) were friends before shooting?

JULIANNE: It actually was very supportive, especially in an independent film where you don't have much time, you already have relationships established with each other. We were able to get to places faster. I find it only helps when you have that kind of support when you have everybody there working and they really like each other. It was hard for Maggie because she was the only one that didn't know everybody. When we were doing the first readthrough I was like, "Don't be nervous. They're all assholes anyway." (laughs)

Q: You and David, together, have such a great on-screen presence. Would you like to do more things with him?

JULIANNE: I would love to do more stuff with David. I adore David. The best thing that came out of "Evolution" was my friendship with David, which ended up in me losing David to Bart because then became friends. But then I got Tea [Leoni], which was then O.K. David and I, for some unknown reason, have a great chemistry together. He's also very similar to Bart physically. They're both 6'2''. We went on vacation together and David was by the pool and I was behind, and I thought he was Bart. I almost went over to hug him, then went, "Oh NO, that's weird!"

"Trust the Man" is now playing in limited release.
