00:00 My name is Emma Stone. I am playing Bella Baxter in the film Poor Things.
00:06 This is Bella. She's an experiment.
00:08 She is understanding what it is to be a member of society.
00:12 Good evening.
00:13 The more autonomous she becomes, the more challenged men seem to be by it.
00:17 Bella!
00:19 Bella's sexuality, it's an incredibly important part of the story.
00:22 The human experience is fascinating to her. Sex is a major part of that.
00:26 Why do people not do this all the time?
00:29 I wanted to play Bella because it felt like acceptance of what it is to be a woman,
00:35 to be free, to be scared and brave.
00:38 We must experience everything, Bella. This makes us whole.
00:43 The orchestra's given me a gift by asking me to be a producer on this.
00:47 I've gotten to be very privy to the whole process that I wouldn't have if I were just acting in it.
00:52 It just felt like the perfect combination.
00:55 Bella.
00:56 Why keep it in my mouth if it is revolting?
00:58 (upbeat music)
