I donโt mind if the character is a small character, but I would just like her to have a journey in the film. Sometimes the characters are just there as a prop to further the manโs story. The great directors Iโve talked to, Iโve said listen, I donโt mind playing a woman that is a tiny part, but how does the story affect her? What can I play in the end thatโs different from the beginning? Otherwise, it doesnโt make sense, because itโs just like being a prop.
Jessica ChastainI don't want to torture anything. It's about trying to live a life where I'm not contributing to the cruelty in the world... While I am on this planet, I want everyone I meet to know that I am grateful they are here.
