Anya Taylor-Joy Shares What Inspires Her & Makes Her Say "Yes" to a Rol

I'm a road tripper. I really love to be in a car with my best friends driving. I just did the United States, that was amazing. But yes, you're right, this looks like we're in Hawaii and I'm the queen of hell, so welcome. When it comes to acting, I've always loved Hilda, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, but I do find myself inspired by basically anybody that I meet. I really love people and I love characters, so I think they inadvertently end up inspiring me. When it comes to fashion, particularly for red carpets, I get visions, like very strong feelings about either a color or a cut, and then my stylist, Ryan Hastings, works with me to make that dream come true. What makes me say yes to a role depends for every single one. Usually it's just a feeling. I notice when I have started to say the words out loud in a different tone of voice or my body's moved a little bit, that's when I start to get the inkling that something might be for me, and then if it's a brilliant filmmaker, then it's a no-brainer. I'd love to work with Jonathan Glaser. I would love to work with Chloe Zhao, Greta Gerwig. Directors that have a tone in movies where you always wonder what possibly could have been the note to get everybody to be in that same energy and vibe, that really interests me. The best part of any production is the crew. They're there before you. They stay after you. They work so hard for very little glory, and you end up having the most wonderful conversations with people that maybe you wouldn't have had a chance to meet otherwise. My comfort watch. Almost Famous. I can watch that movie. I mean, I have watched that movie a million and one times. I tend to be a bit of a comfort re-watcher. I'm only just now starting to watch films that I haven't seen before, and that's been really fun, so I've sort of replaced the comfort watch with something new. When fans approach me on the street, they often want hugs, which I am so happy to give, and I think they're just really excited, and we have pretty lovely interactions, really. I have a lot of people wanting to talk to me about Argentine food, empanadas, in five to 10 years. I think we'll just have to wait and see. I'm excited to see it.
