"I know it sounds really precious and pretentious, but I can't actually remember deciding to want to ..." — Anya Taylor-Joy

I find it very difficult to compare any two projects because they're all such different beasts.

I love what I do so much, and I have a very acute understanding of how I work as a person, so if I'm afraid, I shut down and can't do anything. If I'm overwhelmed, I shut down and can't do anything.

To me, it always comes down to character and script and then director. If a character belongs to me, it's mine. We belong to each other, and I feel a fierce need to tell that story, and it just so happens that a lot of these characters have been residing in pretty dark worlds.

I can't just say yes to a movie. I have to be really passionate about it.
