'Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and do things that are outside of your comfort zone.'
I love the idea of Margaret being generally aspirational in how she lives her life, not just in her career. Do you feel like you'll be taking some of those lessons into your career, though?
I’ve got a thoughtful, critical brain when it comes to making decisions, and I definitely tried to take some of that Margaret energy with me from the film in terms of going with my gut. For instance, when I get a script, thinking, “I’m going to do it”, rather than “I’m scared”, or considering why I shouldn’t do it – which I think Margaret's very good at. She'sher experiences rather than thinking about how she will be perceived.
That’s so interesting that you're now reading Alan Rickman's book as well, as his experience leading up to his death almost mirrors the film [Alan was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2015, which he kept secret until his death in 2016]. Yes – there's a lot of mirroring in the lessons that I learn from the film, and I'm kind of relearning them by reading Alan Rickman's book because he had such a full life. He reallypeople – even the child actors he worked with, he really saw them as their own people. He hasn't got that adult thing, where he sees children as just children, and that's it. He’s got that endlessly curious, open notion of “we can learn so much from these kids.
