Being a vegan who is not a self-sustaining vegan.

And then like recently another wall that I've encountered that I put there, but now has become almost like pillar of my being is that I have never had a credit card.

Fresh Air

So I don't have credit.

I aspire to never have a credit card and I aspire to never have money.

credit or rely on credit for anything i'm terrified of the idea of owing anything to anyone i i it would make me really uncomfortable to buy a home and feeling like i it would make me feel like i'm in trouble all the time yeah i don't think i understand that yeah and and i think that makes it so maybe i'll probably never own a home but i'm sort of at peace with that

The hair was one of the very first conversations we had.

And then her haircut, the idea was that her haircut would be at odds with her hair texture.

And that really gave Tilda the fuel for the character of just imagining that every time that Elizabeth sees her reflection in the mirror, she's adjusting her bangs, she's adjusting the size of her fringes, and she gets so angry about the hairdresser who promised her that she would look exactly like the photo she showed her in a magazine.

We made this whole fantasy of like she walked away from the hair salon with all these products that she's supposed to use every day, but of course she doesn't.

And then the look, we really wanted to capture that woman in the art scene, Lower East Side, with a hint of like groupie, who has good taste, but there's always something that's like a little off.
