- It was important to have a similar energy in my performance. To make the character too different would have just been about my ego because it didn’t need to be drastically different.
- Well physically preparing for the role, definitely and then continuing to stay physically fit throughout filming, getting up, 4.00 4.30 in the morning.
- One of the most amazing things I got from the film, so much green screen, there are so many moments and it really taught me about how important it is to have an intention when flying, when going somewhere and having an intention.
- You want to keep it in there because you feel like it’s yours but to be able to see that sometimes some stuff needs to go and I think it’s for the benefit of the film.
