00:00Hi.
00:01Thank you so much.
00:02This is a lovely story about friendship.
00:03Yeah.
00:04Does it make you feel, are you different about your own friends?
00:08I, listen, I value my friends tremendously.
00:10I think what was so wonderful about this is that this is so unusual to see a depiction
00:14of female friendship on screen.
00:16So often when you see a pair of women on screen, they are either, so they're a love story,
00:20it's a familial story, or they're antagonists.
00:22And in my life, honestly, I haven't had antagonism with other women.
00:26I mean, it really has been, they're a source of strength for me.
00:29They're a source of partnership and a source of celebration.
00:33So I think it's wonderful that this film is out there and we can all see that.
00:37It's a huge Oscar nomination to you as well.
00:39And for Dilda, how's that coming up against her, potentially?
00:42I don't, I mean, Dilda's my partner, she's my friend.
00:45We actually built a friendship in real time on this film.
00:47I love her.
00:48I root for her always.
00:51I just wish her the best of everything.
00:52I adore her.
00:53We've talked about death as well.
00:54How important is it that we actually talk about death?
00:55Because as Brits, we never talk about death.
00:56I don't know that anybody talks about death.
00:57I think it's a very hard thing to talk about.
00:58But I think that it's like that Tibetan saying about, you know, about holding the
00:59glass and feeling like the glass is precious and you don't want to break it.
01:00But when you realize that the glass is already broken, that this is a state of impermanence,
01:01I think it helps you really appreciate what's going on in your life every single moment
01:02of the day and really treasure it.
01:03And so that's the one thing that talking about death can bring us, is a sense of how
01:04important it is and how much we cherish being alive.
