00:00Oh, I loved being Mary Shelley.
00:02I mean, I still kind of sometimes talk to myself as Mary Shelley.
00:06Same.
00:07Same.
00:10Yeah, and there was like so, I mean, I guess when you start creating something,
00:14you kind of start looking around for who reflects a texture
00:17of what that character might feel like for you.
00:20And part of who I was inspired by was this artist called Maggie Hambling,
00:27who's this incredible, untethered, naughty,
00:32will only be photographed with a cigarette kind of woman.
00:37And I loved her voice.
00:38And that felt very interesting to me for creating Mary Shelley.
00:42But actually, being completely honest, the stuff that you see of Mary Shelley,
00:47I was eight months pregnant when we shot that,
00:50which was such a wild, incredible experience because I was like a monster.
00:56You know, I had like two heartbeats inside me.
00:58I was on the precipice of creation myself.
01:01We were like talking about what do we dare to offer to this woman,
01:10to your daughters, to our women out there, to love, you know, to life.
01:16And to be able to do that with like this kind of creature in my belly
01:22while being untethered was delicious.
