What was that pact?

That we would make sure that we were always speaking to one another and that it would sort of be between us first.

If there was a problem, if something was not right, contracts, the whole lot.

You just feel it.

You know, the first time we spent time together, I was probably on my floor and we sat for like five hours just chatting.

And I kind of just knew.

You just know, you know.

It was easy to talk to her.

It was easy to get really real with her.

If there was something I was struggling with or something she was struggling with, we would just sort of like...

find a corner to just chat immediately we came up with like little safe words for each other if there's like a if there's something going on or i'm like overwhelmed for something i have a word that i say and if there's something she's overwhelmed with she has a word that she says you know so that we know where the other one is yeah and we we really like we talk we have real conversations is that rare for a colleague for a co-star

I think the myth is that it is.

Is it rare for it to be this close?

I think so.

Is it rare completely?

I don't think so.

I think that we are led to believe that women cannot get along and women cannot coexist within film and take care of one another.

But I think that the continuation of that myth is the thing that makes it true.

But actually, more often than not, all we have is each other.

You too.
