Hi Amy, how are you?
Hi, how are you? I'm well.
I'm very well, thank you. Congratulations on the film.
Thank you.
I'll level with you. I've got an eight-week-old baby at home. This is the most tired I've ever
been at London Film Festival.
Ever. I'm sure.
Is this a film for me, a film for my other half, or a film for both of us?
Both. I think you'll find yourself in it and hopefully end up laughing and having some
good conversations around it.
As a mother in the creative industry, has it been a cathartic experience for you, a
particularly enjoyable one, to be able to play this kind of character and tell this
kind of story?
Yeah, it's definitely cathartic. It's funny, I used that word the other night, that a lot
of my roles become cathartic in a way to work through something. But this was definitely
cathartic, this idea of being unfiltered, raw, vulnerable, just feral, really.
And finally, I should ask, have you got any advice for me?
Enjoy it. Even in the exhaustion, just enjoy it. I have a 14-year-old and all of the hard
times become memories and you just would give anything to go back and read that story
for the 20th time when you get there. You're in the real trenches right now.
I'm in it. Yeah, I'm in the college trenches right now.
Oh, gosh. All of it, that's all it is. Everything's a stage, you know? So it's just for a
moment and then it passes. So just enjoy the moment, even if it's in exhaustion, if you
can find those moments.
Well, I will do. Thank you very much for your advice.
Congratulations, too.
Thank you.
Boy or girl?
A little boy.
Boy.
