Quotes

• “I did take it seriously because I felt that I understood the character emotionally. The whole Disney princess thing hadn't sunk in yet. I'm not sure I could have done well at the audition if I knew what was at stake. I'm glad it wasn't pitched to me in that way. It was pitched as just another role, and that was probably a smart thing.”
• “I feel like if I lose touch with humanity by only surrounding myself with privilege then I won't be able to play my roles honestly any more.”
• “I had an existential crisis at the Oscars, sitting next to Sean Penn and Meryl Streep and being like, 'What am I doing here? I don't belong here. Everybody can see right through it all.'”
• “I had just come off of a play, so I was already working on a deficit of sleep and being very tired. I had a lot of a sense memory of being a parent and sort of the exhaustion that comes with that. I just wanted to meet the character where I was, and so it was wonderful to not have to pretend to be different than I was on set. I feel like I really was able to channel my own experiences through this.”
