McDormand is an incredible gift to the cinema, ... There's something so organic about her character, straight from the gut. |
My character is fictional, but she is based on all the women who fought the sexual harassment case, and everything you see in the film actually happened. |
My feet slipped from underneath me and I landed on my neck with my body straight. |
No matter how sexual this character is and how comfortable she is with her sexuality, we obviously knew that we couldn't go as far with the outfits as Peter had designed for her. We still tried to stay true to that element and the knowledge that she's very independent and very comfortable within her skin. She's not shy. She's a very strong person. When you play with those elements of sexuality, it makes it really fun. |
Not to sound on a pedestal about women, but the reality is, we bring a completely different element to it just because we are women, |
People said, `Oh, you're doing another ugly movie,' ... I said, `No, I'm doing another film about real people, and it's not about ugly vs. anything.' It's about searching for that constant truth, and I don't think I'll be able to sleep at night if I know I didn't search for that truth and implement it. I don't know how else to do it as an actor. |

really related to that kind of strength in women. |
She loved it. She said it was the best she's had all year. |
She made that accent famous in 'Fargo,' ... But we agreed to tone it down a little - so we didn't get laughs. |
She's just kind of popped her head back into her shell, but I never thought of her as anything other than just a very normal girl who was, I thought, quite pretty. |
She's not based on anybody real. The events of the story are based on real events. |
She's very private, but she was incredibly helpful to me, |
