I wish we did, in a way, grow up in the forest and we didn't all just post bikini pictures and work out just to look good.
I had to learn martial arts.
Sometimes punching a bag for half an hour was pretty cathartic and pretty necessary.
'Hanna' has grown up in wilderness. It highlights humanness and animal-ness in humans. She has an interesting take on gender and love.
I was never a sporty kid. Then I discovered my physicality and running and endorphins.
In my screen test for 'Hanna,' I sort of pretended I was this sporty person when I really wasn't.
It's really tough, it's a very kind of cutthroat industry and you have to be prepared that you're not going to get the parts that you want.
I believe in assigned sex but not necessarily gender. Gender is a learned construct that is detrimental to both sexes.
I don't really embrace femininity.
I personally feel like the conversation around feminism has advanced a lot. People are starting to realize privileged white feminism isn't cutting it. We have to look at the holistic experience of all women, or assigned women, on the planet.
The way I feel seen by the opposite sex is sometimes really detrimental to me. I'm very aware of how I'm constantly being sexualized and objectified in their eyes which makes me feel worthless.
I don't really leave my house. I'm a very introverted person. I don't like going out. I don't like parties.
Even as a kid I remember seeing 'Minority Report' and just crying my eyes out. It was horrible what was happening to her. That was my mum!
What my parents have given me is what I would call a healthy entitlement.
Everyone else went to drama school, and that teaches you how to dissociate from your character. I don't know any technique! I'm just acting by chance - and by connection.
I was thrown into this world of training, and weightlifting, and boxing, and cardio. It's amazing to feel your body being capable of that.
Even the basics of learning how to throw a good punch is very hard.
What is special about 'Hannah' is she's complex. She takes risks and she's smart, and she has a lot of love for people.
The way that I work is I didn't go to drama school or anything like that so I have no choice but to be instinctual because I don't have a tool kit in the same way.
You have your assigned sex but gender is more of a construct and I think one that is incredibly disillusioning and I think when we buy into those constructs then we start to maybe, unbeknownst to ourselves, cause real damage to our psyches.
