00:00Hello, how are you?

00:01You look absolutely beautiful.

00:02You too.

00:03You look so cool.

00:04The last time I saw you was Oppenheimer.

00:05Oh my God.

00:06And obviously I was dressed in that orange, remember?

00:07No, you looked awesome.

00:08You looked awesome.

00:09It's so good to see you again.

00:10You too.

00:11Knocking it out of the park once again.

00:12Excuse the pun.

00:13But every performance, Emily, is just amazing.

00:16Thank you so much.

00:17Listen, you're so great in this.

00:18What was it like getting to play the women that you see that have the internal fights

00:22and battles with these fighters?

00:23Sure.

00:24I mean, I think that that's the thing that there's such a brotherhood amongst the fighters.

00:29And they almost get the best of each other in some way.

00:33There's this like intrinsic bond that they have.

00:36But I think what goes on behind closed doors and what Dawn had to absorb of Mark's addiction

00:42and of his vulnerability and his own brokenness, like she was the sponge for a lot of that

00:47and had her own demons that she was turmoil by.

00:51So I think it's a complex relationship.

00:54It's not a tidy one.

00:55It's not the one you see in movies often.

00:57And that's exciting to me.

00:58And talking about bonds, I love this bond.

01:01Oh, she's the best.

01:02She's such a gem.

01:03And I believe you kind of gave him the confidence as well to do this.

01:05Because you said, listen, I'll do it with you.

01:07We'll do it together, right?

01:08Yeah.

01:09I mean, I think that he always had this.

01:10I could sense over the years this sort of growing restlessness, you know, of like that

01:15idea of someone sort of looking to grab purchase of something new and he didn't know quite when

01:20or how or what it would be.

01:22And I think when this came along, there's nobody else who could play that part.

01:27But I think often it's easier for other people to recognize your abilities.

01:32You might have more self-doubt than others would put upon you.

01:35And I think Benny and I were like, you've got this.

01:38Like, you can do this.

01:39And he was transformative in it.

01:41It was an astonishing thing to see someone I consider I know well completely vaporized,

01:47like that version of him.

01:48It was so exciting.

01:49Well, you smashed it once again.

01:51Lovely to see you.

01:52Thank you so much, Emily.

01:53Thank you so much.

01:54Good to see you.
