the comedy fantasy film Poor Things (2023). She also portrayed tennis
player Billie Jean King in Battle of the Sexes (2017) and the title role

I've got a great family and
great people around me that would be able to kick me in the shins if
I ever for one minute got lost up in the clouds. I've been really
lucky in that sense.
The truth is I am naturally blonde anyway. Everyone thinks I'm a
redhead but that's just dyed. I'm actually enjoying being a blonde
again. It's been a while.
Blondes do have more fun. But sometimes I look in the mirror and
still feel like I'm wearing a wig.
My instincts seem to come from a different place--they feel headier
to me, and I get the wrong scent and go off on these whims.
I do find that I am drawn to people in my life, romantically or not,
that have something to teach me . . . There is some sense of being
changed. |
