Yeah, there are certain words that I...

I will use occasionally, but I find healing is a tricky one for me.

I find gratitude is a tricky one for me because those words feel so strongly associated with that kind of spiritual wellness culture that I'm now pretty allergic to.

Not really.

There was one, I did a musical called God Help the Girl that was for me, my character, there are heavy parts of that film too, but my character was just a sunny delight.

And it was the only time I really remember being, like getting to be happy all day at work and how fun that was.

And otherwise, yeah, it was a lot of fun.

really difficult stuff to dig into I guess and also makes you I think question a bit like why am I always being chosen for these kinds of roles and why am I only being offered these kinds of roles and what does that say about me and then you know it was it was strange to start at quite a young age playing those very challenging characters.

A bit of both, but more the latter, because there was definitely a point in my career around the time I...

Sort of around the time I did Detroit, before that I was sort of saying to my team, I would really love to do a comedy.

Because they sort of ask you like, you know, what do you want to do next?

And I was like, I would really love to do a comedy.

And they're like, yep, brilliant, great.

And then they'd be like, we've got this.

And obviously it's Catherine Bigelow and of course you're going to say yes.

And I was always thrilled to get to play these roles and they were meaty and they were substantial and they were challenging.

But I think I had back to back, I did four films in a row.

Detroit was the third of those four that were based on true events.

And those true events were extremely harrowing.

And I do think it had started to take its toll even before I did that movie.
