I don't want to be a basket case on set. I try to sort of quiet all of that, all those thoughts, kinda just let yourself be aware of them when you're preparing to do the work but then once you get there you have to feel as free as possible. Anything that I perceived as something that ran the risk of stressing me out, I just left outside the studio doors because I didn't want to undermine myself.

I didn’t find it difficult to live in the “Inherent Vice” world or play those scenes, because they just seemed so real.

It's weird. I feel like people assume if a character is very different than you, that means it's difficult to get into their head or into their skin.

So when things start going badly, you're invested in the characters in a way I think amplifies the horror and the fear because you're invested.

Costume design is so important and really helpful, and I really love that aspect of character development, just figuring it out.

Ive always wanted to play the villain. But the young girl is never the villain.
