Seeing someone happy on set is just a very small slice of the reality of an actor's life.

I dont think Paul Thomas Anderson has a standard approach to anything.

Seeing someone happy on set is just a very small slice of the reality of an actor's life.

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.

I look back at my adolescence, and Im shocked at the things I did that were my idea of adult behavior.

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.

I find life so shocking in general. Everything about it surprises me.
