Anya Taylor-Joy about method acting:

"If you'll notice, women don't method act because we have things to take care of, so we can't completely lose our minds. I see acting as a controlled psychosis in a way. You're pretending to be somebody else and having their thoughts 16 hours a day, and moving like them, in their house, in their clothes. It's like having a sister or a roommate check in up here [in my mind] for a little bit. And I'm just very grateful that the people in my life understand that and know that. Sometimes if it gets out of hand, they'll call me by the character name and they'll be like "we need to check in again". But I can't imagine keeping it up all the time because again, you're going to work with hundreds of people and it is your responsibility to be good to them and to help them do their best job. If you're too invested in being an asshole then that's not gonna be very fun."
