Do you find it hard to be your authentic self when you're trying to interact with the public because of what you went through?
Because I saw you at this press conference that you gave in Spain, and you seem a lot more reserved than you used to be, more careful, more considered.
And I'm just wondering if that is deliberate.
I mean, I'm gonna break the fourth wall here, but I mean, it's always a strange thing to do, right?
I'm a journalist asking you questions.
I obviously want you to give revealing answers and you have to protect yourself as an artist and as a private person in the world.
And so I often think about how complicated that dance is, especially for women.
I mean, do you think as a female artist,
that you have been treated differently than perhaps other men because you were young, you were open to the world in a way that perhaps other people aren't.
You didn't seem so jaded, I think.
After the break, Jennifer tells me about being politically outspoken early in her career and why she's approaching things differently now.
I did want to ask you about your relationship with some of your directors because you have been with directors who are known as being very difficult, challenging directors, people who are auteurs, have really clear visions.
And, you know, for example, when you were making Mother with Darren Aronofsky, you hyperventilated, you tore your diaphragm, you got medical attention, etc.
And then he made you film the scene again when you got back.
And I'm just wondering what that kind of intensity does for you.
Like, how do you work with directors who really bring that out in you and demand that of you?
I can kind of... I mean, Amy Adams, who was in American Hustle with you, and that was obviously David O. Russell, said of you, Jennifer doesn't take any of it on.
She's Teflon.
Sort of saying that you don't absorb some of that stuff.
Well, I mean, Amy Adams said that she cried on set when she talked about you being Teflon.
