Transcript

00:00What about working with Margaret Qualley?

00:01Had you known her before you did this film?

00:03And how did you kind of figure out that relationship too?

00:07You know, we hadn't ever met before,

00:09but interestingly, I felt,

00:12I think we both felt like we did know each other

00:15from the moment that we met.

00:16I mean, we had these indirect connections.

00:20Obviously, years and years ago,

00:22I had worked and knew her mother.

00:24She knew my daughters.

00:26And I think that we have some shared qualities.

00:31I think that we both are willing to do roles

00:34where you kind of get a little dirty.

00:37And I think with very little conversation or dialogue

00:44that we just connected.

00:47And I think it was a really crucial and important part

00:51of the whole process,

00:52because it was really, you know,

00:54physically demanding for both of us.

00:56And, you know, we were there all in five and a half months

01:01working on this.

01:02And, but from the moment that I heard

01:06that that's who Qualley was interested in casting,

01:09I was already excited because I knew

01:13that she was moving towards a real depth

01:17because Margaret is a wonderful actor

01:20who always brings kind of deep kind of emotion

01:26and emotional value, interest, intrigue.

01:28So yeah, we got on, I would say like a house on fire.
