00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:03.270
- Alithea has a really intense
curiosity to her character,

2
00:00:03.270 --> 00:00:05.190
which I think I see reflected

3
00:00:05.190 --> 00:00:06.540
in a lot of the character choices

4
00:00:06.540 --> 00:00:08.523
that you make as an actor.

5
00:00:09.427 --> 00:00:12.030
"Memoria" comes specifically to mind,

6
00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:13.560
and I wanna know why you're drawn

7
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.563
to the kinds of characters
that show that curiosity.

8
00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:18.503
- It's interesting.

9
00:00:18.503 --> 00:00:20.700
I'm now doing a quick
flip chart in my head,

10
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:25.560
I'm trying to think of any
portrait that isn't curious.

11
00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:30.560
I'm maybe a curious person
myself, and I value curiosity.

12
00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:34.200
I'm particularly drawn to
the portraits of people

13
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.330
who are on some kind of precipice

14
00:00:36.330 --> 00:00:39.930
and have the opportunity to transform,

15
00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:42.810
and Alithea is one such;

16
00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:44.970
she comes into the narrative

17
00:00:44.970 --> 00:00:46.620
having made all sorts of decisions

18
00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:49.230
about the way her life is gonna be

19
00:00:49.230 --> 00:00:51.360
and has a certain amount
of self-satisfaction

20
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:53.400
and sort of contentment about that,

21
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:55.290
and yet, against all the odds,

22
00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:58.260
she actually shifts and changes,

23
00:00:58.260 --> 00:01:02.545
and I think that's true of
pretty much all the stories

24
00:01:02.545 --> 00:01:04.230
I've been drawn to play.

25
00:01:04.230 --> 00:01:07.200
I'm always intending not
to make another film,

26
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:08.970
and it's always that vitamin

27
00:01:08.970 --> 00:01:10.650
that gets me back in to make another.

28
00:01:10.650 --> 00:01:13.620
If a character has this sort of journey,

29
00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:15.630
this sort of possibility to transform,

30
00:01:15.630 --> 00:01:17.013
then I tend to be in.
