When you're working with people you've seen in hundreds of films... it's a bit crazy to step outside yourself for a minute and think, 'This is surreal.' But I try not to get too bogged down in that.

There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well.

A movie is so visually powerful, so overwhelming, that it tends to crowd out how you might have imagined things.

What's nice about what we have is when you enter the set, the world of film, it becomes this real cocoon, very different from all the publicity. That's the fun part.

I've been in love with the cinema since childhood and it's a fantasy of mine to appear in a Hollywood movie.

It's nice to film in somewhere that you actually love being. Usually, you're in a studio for months on end, and you never see any daylight, so you really make the most of it.

When you're making a movie, it's a very interiorised world.

Encountering a real place enhances the performances of actors in subtle ways and changes the spiritual texture of the film.

That's what film can do in a way that TV and other long-form storytelling can't. It gives you this very immersive moment.

Sometimes movies gloss over things, and it was important to me that this was realistic.
