00:00You know, a lot of people have been giving you a lot of praise for this role.
00:03What was it like to kind of step into this and maybe sort of shape-shift on screen?
00:07I mean, it was a dream. I've been dreaming of some... I mean, like, it truly was.
00:13I hate the phrase, like, a pinch-me moment, but that's how it felt.
00:16Is that, like, you know, I'm such a big Batman fan, and I love Colin so much,
00:20and I love this world so much, and so I was just thrilled.
00:23I was beside myself, and I think what Lauren has done is so gorgeous and brilliant,
00:27and I was very excited.
00:28Yeah, well, Colin, of course, completely transforms in this role.
00:32What was it like having him as a scene partner?
00:34Incredible. He is an incredible actor, and he's also a really beautiful human being.
00:39So it was really, like, incredible.
00:42I know you mentioned that you had gone out for other comic book adaptations as well.
00:47Can you share which ones?
00:49No, I don't think... I don't... I wouldn't want to share which ones,
00:52because I just... I'm always, like, a little bit, like, is that... I don't know.
00:56But they were meant to be who... Everyone is, like, meant to get what they're meant to get,
01:01and I think I, like, really get why I... or I really understand why I didn't get those.
01:05I feel, like, very... I loved this project so much,
01:08and I wouldn't have gotten to do this if I'd gotten the other ones.
01:10And what sort of research went into, kind of, getting ready for Sophia?
01:15I definitely researched, like, what solitary confinement does to people,
01:19these sort of state-run hospitals, the type of environments they can be, you know.
01:24I did... I dove into that quite a bit, but a lot of it was already on the page.
