Kristen Stewart

Yeah, sorry.

I was lucky to be allowed to make this movie at all.

I don't know that this movie would have gotten financed by anyone if I wasn't me financially.

I had to do a lot of kicking and screaming.

I think it's a multi-tiered answer that I hope I have the sort of wherewithal to organize at this moment.

You know, I had never made a movie before.

It does not have a three-act structure that is easy to classify.

And so most of the time it's difficult to pay for something that doesn't have an equatable success story.

You know what I mean?

Like something that you go, oh, well, this is going to be great because we've seen it before.

Yeah, exactly.

It's like this meets this is always how you try and like sell and market a movie.

It's like, I don't know what this meets.

This meets anything.

But this had to be the first thing I said.

It just had to be because it's about saying things.

But it took a long time because it is unsavory, unpalatable because it is about violation and repossession.

And also how fun it is to watch someone do that because she is just a force.

She's like a tsunami.

And also there's a sexuality in it that just feels like fucking delicious.
