00:00Devil wears Prada, Emily, of course, even though she's more obnoxious, I think.
00:05She would never step out of the house in some of the outfits I wear.
00:10I thought if they weren't going to push Sicario, I wouldn't be able to do it,
00:14because I just had a baby.
00:16And I remember meeting Denis Villeneuve right after I had a baby,
00:19and I was, like, lactating in front of him, and I was like,
00:22I want to do your movie, but I can't do it right now.
00:24So they pushed it a little bit, but that was almost dicey.
00:28That was like I was almost not going to do it.
00:30Mary Poppins, I wanted her to speak at a fast sort of velocity,
00:34and that just felt really exciting to me that I was able to play with rhythm in that way,
00:40and it was something I could never do as a kid,
00:43and I could never kind of grab purchase of words enough to be able to have any kind of fluency.
00:49So I think being able to play with a voice for a character is a gift for me now.
