I was very respectful and wanted to hear what Edgar had in mind first. He had waited for so long to create this beautiful movie. I heard what he had to say and heard the backstory. And then, I sort of added my own take to it and we started adding all these little things to the character. I’ve always been an actor who thinks you can find a big performance in the little details. I thought she was very outside of herself — a space cadet.
When we started shooting, none of the bubblegum or the lollipops were in the script. I thought it was a key thing for her to have. I wanted to give her this feminine energy. I thought it was important for her to be chewing gum and shooting guns. At the end of the day, she’s a bank robber. She’s using her primal instincts. It was really fun to engage in that feeling.
