We sat down with the spellbinding actress to talk activism, power poses and racial discrimination…
It’s the new Game of Thrones...I think it’s in the choices I make. I'm an actor first and I am very much inspired by movements like Time's Up and what's going on in our culture. I contribute where I can, but I also feel like my main method of communication is my acting - that's my gift.
I haven’t had to deal with it personally. I've done many projects directed by women with a female gaze and I think often female directors have given me some of my meatier roles, leading roles. It's been interesting doing a project like Motherless Brooklyn where I'm one of the few females in the film, but it was also set in the 50s which was a different era and women's place in society was very different then.
Ooh, that's a big question. Edward’s and I’s characters are bonded by loss and that is very relatable. We all go on a journey in our work and often you are sort of separate from the real world and these imaginary worlds become a place of refuge and a source of inspiration as well.Well, I feel like I learn more about myself and the world in every job that I do. I think I have found out what I am made of by putting myself in new contexts all the time.
