00:02 How do you choose your roles?
00:04 I want to find a character that's
00:07 difficult to, on the surface, understand.
00:12 Were they born, or were they made?
00:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:18 It's such a pleasure to meet you.
00:20 You are so sweet.
00:22 We're so happy to have you.
00:23 Thank you for doing this.
00:24 It's so generous.
00:25 Well, I want you to tell the story right, don't I?
00:28 We're taller, you look taller on television,
00:31 but we're basically the same size.
00:32 Basically the same.
00:34 Feels like things just settled down,
00:36 and now y'all are making a movie.
00:38 It's a very complex and human story.
00:41 I think it's hard to trust that you're going to represent
00:44 Gracie as she was.
00:45 I'm going to try.
00:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:49 Do you remember when you first met?
00:51 You came to the pet store looking for a job.
00:54 It was summer after sixth grade?
00:55 Seventh.
00:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:59 Why do you want to play me?
01:01 When they sent me the script, I thought,
01:02 here is a woman with a lot more to her
01:05 than I remember from the tabloids.
01:08 What would make a 36-year-old woman have
01:12 an affair with a seventh grader?
01:14 People, they like see me as a victim.
01:18 I wanted it.
01:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:23 I already have an idea of what it must have felt like.
01:26 What?
01:27 Sneaking around with you.
01:30 I shouldn't have said that.
01:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:36 Why would you want to play someone
01:37 who you think is a bad person?
01:38 It's the more gray areas that are interesting.
01:42 She's getting on my last nerve.
01:43 She's just everywhere I look.
01:47 Why can't we talk about it?
01:49 If we're really as in love as we say we are?
01:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:54 Insecure people are very dangerous, aren't they?
01:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:07 You're crazy.
