00:00Hi, Amy.

00:01Hi, how are you?

00:02I'm well.

00:03I'm very well, thank you.

00:04Congratulations on the film.

00:06I'll level with you.

00:07I've got an eight-week-old baby at home.

00:08This is the most tired I've ever been at London Film Festival.

00:09Ever.

00:10Ever.

00:11I'm sure.

00:12Is this a film for me?

00:13A film for my other half?

00:14Both.

00:15Or a film for both of us?

00:16Both.

00:17I think you'll find yourself in it and hopefully end up laughing and having some good conversations

00:22around it.

00:23As a mother in the creative industry, has it been a cathartic experience for you, a particularly

00:29enjoyable one, to be able to play this kind of character and tell this kind of story?

00:32Yeah.

00:33It's definitely cathartic.

00:34It's funny.

00:35I used that word the other night and that a lot of my roles become cathartic in a way

00:39to work through something, but this was definitely cathartic.

00:42This idea of being unfiltered, raw, vulnerable, just feral, really.

00:47And finally, I should ask, have you got any advice for me?

00:52Enjoy it.

00:53Even in the exhaustion, just enjoy it.

00:55I have a 14-year-old and all of the hard times become memories and you just would give

01:00anything to go back and read that story for the 20th time when you get there.

01:05You're in the real trenches right now.

01:07I'm in it.

01:08Yeah, I'm in the college trenches right now.

01:09But, oh gosh.

01:10All of it, that's all it is.

01:12Everything's a stage, you know?

01:14So it's just for a moment and then it passes.

01:16So just enjoy the moment, even if it's in exhaustion, if you can find those moments.

01:20Well, I will do.

01:21Thank you very much for your advice.

01:22Congratulations.

01:25Boy or girl?

01:26A little boy.
