00:00I don't know, we'll just see what happens.

00:02I'm very proud to be in this film with Jessie.

00:05It was pretty an intense, like, yeah, emotional experience.

00:12In lots of ways, you know, in some ways when you watch a film for the first time,

00:17you're being flooded with memories, but also you're getting new memories

00:20because now, you know, it's been through an edit,

00:24there's like sound, there's like a grade,

00:27there's like so many things that has elevated something

00:31that you are unconsciously inside of.

00:33And so you have a kind of like a three degree burns experience.

00:40And then I guess seeing this family, seeing this mother,

00:46whilst also being on the precipice of becoming a mother myself

00:49and was pretty extraordinary and very intense.

00:55And I, I, I sobbed, but I, it was a lot.

01:02It was, it was, yeah, beautiful.

01:05I find that young people, especially children,

01:08are actually easier to work with

01:11in those kind of emotionally charged environments

01:15because most of them are closer to the animal part of us.

01:23You know, they're very instinctual and they're in the present moment.

01:27So once they go through the scene, they shake it off.

01:31I actually find the adults are the ones that we have to pay extra attention to

01:34because as adults, we're more likely to attach narratives

01:38to these emotions and feelings.

01:42Like Jacob, he's a little, like he's a 40 year old man

01:45trapped in an 11 year old's body.

01:46You know, he's, he's very wise and, um, very emotionally intuitive.

01:52As is Olivia and as is Bodhi.

01:54I think we were blessed.

01:55How grief connect us, connects us as human beings,

02:03how grief and loss makes, makes us more compassionate towards each other,

02:08makes us more likely to see from each other's perspective,

02:14um, connects us as much as joy does, if not more.

02:19I try and take my hands off the wheel by the time we get into the scenes

02:22and just let the relationships in the world, you know,

02:27influence whatever comes out.

02:29Um, and coming out of it, I, I have a very simple life.

02:35And coming out of it is like getting in a car, going home,

02:39making a slice of toast, uh, having a cup of tea.

02:43Um, I think you have to have a light touch with this, with work, you know,

02:49have intention, but the lightest of touches.

02:51And, and I don't necessarily want to, I, I, I never want to let go of these things

02:56because they've been such gifts to, like, wake up towards the world in it.

03:03And all of the characters that I've played are etched deeply into my heart.

03:10Um, so it's not about coming in and out of it.

03:13I think it's just about being really.

03:15Yeah, when you make the, this film with, like, huge amount of love.

03:20And I think it, it, it's always satisfying to see that it's not only to, uh, discussing awards,

03:28but to feel like the audience, the, the, the film is resonating with an audience

03:31is incredibly satisfying.

03:32And I'm just very, I'm very proud to be in this film with Jessie

03:37and to be right next to her in terms of watching her deliver this performance.

03:42But, but, but of course it is satisfying and, um, exciting to be, to, to, to be in those conversations.

03:49Hopefully it means that there'll be a longer life for this film with, with, with audiences for sure.

03:54The year with, of Nomadland, it was a very unique year because it was during the pandemic.

04:01So we had a, I had a very different experience than I am experiencing right now.

04:07I couldn't be with people.

04:08So this feels like a new experience to me.

04:12I'm trying to just sit in it and get into the river and be proud as punch to put this film out

04:19and also be beside other great films that have been made and other great performances

04:23that have been created and I don't know, we'll just see what happens.

04:27Yeah.
