“I took the job and then they sent me the scripts and I read them and I thought, ‘Oh, there’s the catch!'” she said.

“But I was fresh out of drama school and looked at it as a job: if it’s in the script, then it’s clearly necessary. This is it and I will understand it and this is what I plan to do and everything will be cool.

“…I’ve been on a movie set twice before, and now I’m completely naked on a movie set with all these people and I don’t know what to do and I don’t know what’s expected of me will, and I don’t know what you want, and I don’t know what I want.
