I want to go and have a real experience and it's just lovely to sit and watch a movie and just be really transported by a story and care about the characters. That's always what I'm looking for.

I think there's so many little specific things in the script [of I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore]. And the script was also structured so beautifully that I didn't want to mess with it.

Honestly, I think if I had to stop acting I'd be like, 'Well, I guess I have to go live in the mountains now.' I'd probably be a good assistant.
