Kate Winslet

Yeah, people do like to sort of pigeonhole actresses and they don't really like it if you step outside of that framework that they have chosen that you're going to exist in.

And so, no, I'm, yeah, weird.

Corset Kate.

It doesn't make any sense.

Probably.

I know, it's bizarre.

I think something that helped me kind of move beyond that was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which I remember thinking, okay, this could be good.

I could be stepping outside of that and, you know, doing something completely wild and different.

And that whole experience actually of making Eternal Sunshine was so amazing.

I mean, Michel Gondry, who directed it, he's just avant-garde and funny and bonkers.

And it was a great experience.

I loved playing that character.

We can talk about it as much.

I love talking about it.

I mean, it was an amazing shoot.

And yes, there was a lot of improvising.

I remember there was one night when I was at home asleep.

And it was two o'clock in the morning and the phone rang and it was Michel Gondry and he was like, you have to come, you have to come.

now right now you have to get into cab and you have to i was like oh my god and of course you get in a cab and of course you turn up and then improvise an entire scene with a load of elephants coming down fifth avenue and it was it was really amazing and that's one of the lovely things about making films is that sometimes you do get to work with people who are brave enough to do these kind of crazy things i thank god it was a great film right because imagine if it's just a crazy guy and the film was awful

I mean, you say that and the thing is, it is also, though, it is very warm and there's a lot of humour and I think it's just such a real and relatable story about family, really.
