It's people's worst fantasy to see their partner kissing someone else, even though it's a job and it's not real.

If you're playing someone who has lived, there's the risk of imitation, or whether you focus on the essence of who that character was as opposed to physical mannerisms. So, you have to figure out what it is ultimately that this particular adaptation of the story, whether it's fiction or not, is trying to say.

I'm deeply ambitious and I always have been.

I've had that experience of not liking people very much, but having tremendous respect for them.
