00:00Thanks so much for your time. Welcome back to London.
00:02Thank you so much.
00:04We're going to share you if that's okay.
00:06Could I ask how would you describe
00:08Jessie's technique as a director and also
00:10how does it change having your director in a
00:12scene with you?
00:14Jessie is
00:16so smart and
00:18so funny and so
00:20nervous and so
00:22prepared because he's
00:24nervous and so
00:26brilliant that it just made
00:28me feel safe at all times.
00:30I felt like his taste
00:32and his intelligence
00:34and his depth and his humanity
00:36I couldn't ask
00:38for anything better.
00:40What was the experience
00:42like filming in Poland
00:44and looking at the concentration camps?
00:46Well that's a very long answer
00:48but I would tell you
00:50if you've never been, it's something
00:52to be experienced because
00:54it is
00:56beyond anything you can put
00:58words to. The experience
01:00of it
01:02is shocking
01:04and devastating
01:06and the fact that
01:08I don't know
01:10that people are capable of that
01:12kind of cruelty
01:14and horrors ongoing
01:16it's pretty
01:18tough to imagine and here we
01:20are
01:22praying for peace again.
