We Live in Time
pairs you with Andrew Garfield, as a couple experiencing big changes. What was the main appeal?
I’ve always wanted to do a romantic movie. I wanted to do something that mattered, something that was going to reflect people in the current day. I always hope that people will see a part of themselves in [my] characters, but I also play a lot of characters from different eras. I got to represent a young woman who had drive, wanted to be successful and wanted to
work.
She wanted to have a career, and nothing was going to get in her way of that —which is like every single woman I know. There was also the conversation about whether or not you should have a child, and that juggle of [wanting to] have a career [too]. I was really excited to play a woman that I could recognise, my friends could recognise, my siblings could recognise.
