People in New Zealand go out of their way to not be impressed by things.

I feel like any actor should always be thinking about how to serve the story. The thing to be cautious of is trying to make too much of your "moment," or whatever. The story is a lot bigger than you, and you're there to help it along. The thing to think about is whether what you're doing is true to the moment and where the story's going, rather than going, "Here are my scenes. What can I try and do to make the most of them?"

I'm pretty active, so I wasn't really worried [about filming "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore" ]. But there was a day when I was like, "God, I've been rowing for two hours."

Some scripts are pretty sparse.

I feel like I'm kind of faking something if I'm talking as myself and putting on an accent.

I always like [while filming] to have a sense of what led this person to this point.

I feel like a character actress - it's where I'm comfortable.
