"My view is that you don’t always have to be comfortable on a movie set as an actor. I don’t know where to draw the line but it’s definitely a blurry one. [As an actor] you’re supposed to be present in your emotions in that moment… I think maybe we are making discomfort into a negative thing."

Imagine...

I mean, how hard is it to have a respectful work place while the actors just pretend to be uncomfortable for the camera in the service of the script?

Like aren’t actors supposed to be present in their characters emotions? Not their own personal ones? So how does someone being uncomfortable with how a sex/nude scene is being shot help if their character is supposed to be having sex with someone they are comfortable with? What’s she saying doesn’t make sense.

I would love to get blazed with her and just hang.

If I don't ever have to see another BBC show where the characters are all well to do creatives acting out in completely sociopathic ways and making it all seem fine and dandy, that would be great.

I read some of the article, but man, she didn't seem to like the book at all LOL.

Penn Badgley being her brother in law is a very random hollywood fun fact
