SPEAKER_01 00:00 - 00:02

Somebody was like, everybody loves you.

SPEAKER_01 00:02 - 00:03

What does that feel like?

SPEAKER_01 00:03 - 00:08

And I was like, it feels like precarious.

SPEAKER_00 00:08 - 00:15

For a few years, it seemed like Jennifer Lawrence was everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 00:16 - 00:19

I'm just the crazy slut with a dead husband.

SPEAKER_02 00:19 - 00:21

You want to be more like Carmine?

SPEAKER_02 00:21 - 00:23

Why don't you build something like he does?

SPEAKER_02 00:23 - 00:26

If we burn, you burn with us.

SPEAKER_00 00:26 - 00:30

Outside the movies, Lawrence had this vibrant public persona.

SPEAKER_02 00:30 - 00:32

Oh my God.

SPEAKER_02 00:32 - 00:34

This is Elizabeth Taylor.

SPEAKER_02 00:34 - 00:36

And she was like, no, it's not.

SPEAKER_00 00:37 - 00:43

But a lot has changed since she won an Oscar 12 years ago and tripped up the stairs on the way to get her statue.

SPEAKER_00 00:43 - 00:48

She's gotten married, had two kids, and taken breaks from making movies.

SPEAKER_00 00:48 - 00:53

Now she's back in Die, My Love, directed by Lynne Ramsey and co-starring Robert Pattinson.

SPEAKER_00 00:54 - 00:58

In it, she plays a young woman who's being driven mad by motherhood.

SPEAKER_02 00:58 - 01:01

Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo.

SPEAKER_00 01:02 - 01:04

It's a searing performance.

SPEAKER_00 01:05 - 01:13

But when I sat down with her, I was struck by how scarred she seemed from her early fame and the backlash she got over her political advocacy.

SPEAKER_00 01:14 - 01:16

Here's my conversation with Jennifer Lawrence.

SPEAKER_00 01:17 - 01:19

Thank you so much for joining the interview.

SPEAKER_00 01:19 - 01:20

I'm so excited to talk.

SPEAKER_00 01:20 - 01:21

Thanks for having me.

SPEAKER_00 01:22 - 01:26

I want to talk about your new film because I have a lot of thoughts.

SPEAKER_00 01:27 - 01:31

So this film was adapted from a book by Ariana Harvitz.

SPEAKER_00 01:32 - 01:38

And Martin Scorsese was the one who wanted you to play this role after he read the book in his book club.

SPEAKER_00 01:38 - 01:38

I know.

SPEAKER_00 01:39 - 01:40

When he reached out, what did he say?

SPEAKER_01 01:43 - 01:44

It was very complimentary.

SPEAKER_01 01:44 - 01:49

So I would be remiss to repeat it.

SPEAKER_01 01:49 - 01:50

Please repeat it.

SPEAKER_01 01:50 - 01:51

No, it was very nice.

SPEAKER_01 01:52 - 02:00

But he was just like, I think first of all, like he said that I should read it and that, you know, I would be good in it.

SPEAKER_01 02:00 - 02:02

And I read it.

SPEAKER_01 02:02 - 02:04

I was actually, I had just had my first baby.

SPEAKER_01 02:05 - 02:07

And so it was, it was a lot.

SPEAKER_01 02:07 - 02:08

It was really overwhelming.

SPEAKER_01 02:08 - 02:11

I like, I read it in one sitting.

SPEAKER_01 02:12 - 02:17

But I was actually in a really good place in my kind of postpartum journey.

SPEAKER_01 02:18 - 02:21

I didn't struggle in the kind of classic postpartum way.

SPEAKER_01 02:21 - 02:23

I bonded right away with my son.

SPEAKER_01 02:23 - 02:32

And so I think because of that, I was able to allow my mind to kind of go to those darker places.

SPEAKER_01 02:32 - 02:36

I think if I was in a dark place and I read it, I would be too afraid of it.

SPEAKER_01 02:36 - 02:41

And so it's kind of like turning all the lights on and looking at the monster under the bed or something.

SPEAKER_00 02:42 - 02:46

Before we move on, who is in Marty Scorsese's book club?

SPEAKER_00 02:46 - 02:47

I know.

SPEAKER_00 02:47 - 02:47

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 02:48 - 02:48

I mean.

SPEAKER_00 02:48 - 02:49

I could just ask.

SPEAKER_00 02:49 - 02:50

I think you need to ask.

SPEAKER_01 02:50 - 02:52

I mean, the worst he could say is I don't feel like telling you.

SPEAKER_00 02:52 - 02:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 02:53 - 02:54

Are you in a book club?

SPEAKER_01 02:54 - 02:56

I'm in a soft book club.

SPEAKER_01 02:56 - 02:57

We tried.

SPEAKER_01 02:57 - 03:01

We tried to make like an official book, but we're just too different in our tastes.

SPEAKER_00 03:03 - 03:04

Back to the film.

SPEAKER_00 03:04 - 03:17

As I was watching it, it seemed to me sort of like this scream against the current elevation of domestic life and perfect motherhood as sort of the pinnacle of female achievement.

SPEAKER_00 03:18 - 03:19

What is this film about for you?

SPEAKER_01 03:21 - 03:26

It kind of morphs for me.

SPEAKER_01 03:26 - 03:43

I think that it's definitely about somebody losing her identity and motherhood and rage at not just her husband, but the change of the relationship, the change of the love.

SPEAKER_01 03:44 - 03:49

But what I really like about it is it's kind of, it's poetry.

SPEAKER_01 03:49 - 03:52

There's not kind of a single way to look at it.

SPEAKER_01 03:52 - 03:59

There's like a statement and then breathing room for you to read into what the statement means to you.

SPEAKER_01 03:59 - 04:03

So everybody I talk to kind of comes away with something different.

SPEAKER_00 04:04 - 04:10

How do you view what grace your character is actually going through?

SPEAKER_00 04:10 - 04:13

Because I've read reviews that say that she has postpartum depression.

SPEAKER_00 04:13 - 04:16

I've read reviews that say that she, you know, is bipolar.

SPEAKER_00 04:16 - 04:19

I've read reviews that say that she has psychosis.

SPEAKER_00 04:19 - 04:22

I'm wondering, first of all, does it matter?

SPEAKER_00 04:22 - 04:26

And then how you understood what she is experiencing?

SPEAKER_01 04:28 - 04:32

That's another thing that kind of morphed for me and never really felt like one thing.

SPEAKER_01 04:34 - 04:35

I was pregnant.

SPEAKER_01 04:35 - 04:37

I was in my second trimester.

SPEAKER_01 04:37 - 04:38

When you were filming this?

SPEAKER_01 04:39 - 04:40

When I was filming this.

SPEAKER_01 04:40 - 04:52

And I think that there were certain, I think there were like, there were certain realities that I just, I couldn't like look at.

SPEAKER_01 04:52 - 05:02

And I spoke to, you know, a postpartum specialist who told me that the number one cause of death in mothers in the first year is suicide.

SPEAKER_01 05:03 - 05:10

And that obviously went into our thinking about the ending, the forest.

SPEAKER_01 05:10 - 05:11

What is the forest?

SPEAKER_01 05:11 - 05:12

What is the fire?

SPEAKER_01 05:12 - 05:14

Do they find their way back to each other?

SPEAKER_01 05:16 - 05:17

What does all of it mean?

SPEAKER_01 05:17 - 05:20

And so I think I saw the forest as more of like a cleansing.

SPEAKER_01 05:22 - 05:26

And then after I had my- We should say at the end, she walks into this burning forest.

SPEAKER_01 05:26 - 05:27

Are we supposed to do this?

SPEAKER_01 05:27 - 05:28

Am I going to like ruin the movie for everybody?

SPEAKER_00 05:28 - 05:29

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 05:29 - 05:29

You brought it up.

SPEAKER_00 05:29 - 05:31

That's why I have to be clear on what it is.

SPEAKER_01 05:31 - 05:35

I guess I have like franchise paranoia, but maybe it's fine.

SPEAKER_00 05:37 - 05:38

Franchise paranoia.

SPEAKER_00 05:38 - 05:42

I think there's not going to be a franchise of this film, but who am I to say?

SPEAKER_01 05:42 - 05:43

I would agree with you.

SPEAKER_00 05:43 - 05:50

And anyway, she is someone who is very, um, she's very-

SPEAKER_01 05:50 - 05:51

She's really depressed.

SPEAKER_01 05:51 - 05:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 05:51 - 05:53

She's really, she's really unhappy.

SPEAKER_01 05:54 - 05:55

She's really angry.

SPEAKER_01 05:56 - 06:06

And I think the love that you have for your child, I think sometimes when I think that she was so lost that she felt like she was the only thing wrong with her baby.

SPEAKER_01 06:07 - 06:12

And that she was the only thing that could ruin her child.

SPEAKER_01 06:12 - 06:25

And when I watched it back after having my second child and actually experiencing postpartum depression, that was a really, really weird experience.

SPEAKER_01 06:25 - 06:32

I walked away with so many different kind of opinions about it that I don't want to share because then I'll give up the whole movie and the allegories.

SPEAKER_01 06:32 - 06:32

Like, what am I doing?

SPEAKER_00 06:33 - 06:35

Well, let me ask you something else then.

SPEAKER_00 06:35 - 06:39

You just said you experienced postpartum depression after your second child.

SPEAKER_00 06:39 - 06:41

Can you talk to me a little bit about what that looked like for you?

SPEAKER_00 06:41 - 06:46

And I guess that must, that must have been surprising, um, perhaps because you-

SPEAKER_01 06:46 - 06:49

Yeah, because I was ready and I knew what I was doing and I felt more confident.

SPEAKER_01 06:49 - 06:57

I definitely didn't expect, I just expected to feel the way I did with my first, which I feel like it should just be said.

SPEAKER_01 06:57 - 07:03

But I think postpartum is just a physical experience that happens to everybody.

SPEAKER_01 07:03 - 07:07

I mean, your hormones are doubling every day in your first trimester.

SPEAKER_01 07:07 - 07:09

And then those hormones plummet after you have a baby.

SPEAKER_01 07:09 - 07:10

They plummet again when you wean.

SPEAKER_01 07:11 - 07:21

Um, so I, my experience with my second was I just felt, I felt like a tiger was chasing me every day.

SPEAKER_01 07:21 - 07:22

I've had so much anxiety.

SPEAKER_01 07:23 - 07:31

I was so, I had nonstop intrusive thoughts that I was just like at the, at the whim of, they like controlled me.

SPEAKER_01 07:32 - 07:33

Fear about your child, fear about yourself.

SPEAKER_01 07:34 - 07:39

Yeah, it was fear about my child, just picturing every worst case scenario.

SPEAKER_01 07:40 - 07:54

And then just doubting everything that I was doing, everything that, you know, um, and then I, I was already in therapy, but I got on a drug called Zerzovay and I took it for two weeks and it really helped me.

SPEAKER_01 07:55 - 08:01

So if anybody is having postpartum Zerzovay, I'm not paid by them, but they could maybe throw me something.

SPEAKER_01 08:03 - 08:07

But that helped, yeah, I went on a, on a pill that was designed for postpartum.

SPEAKER_01 08:07 - 08:10

I took it for two weeks and it helped a lot.

SPEAKER_00 08:10 - 08:15

I'm a parent myself and also someone who's suffered from mental illness, PTSD and other things.

SPEAKER_00 08:16 - 08:26

And so, you know, I was watching the film and again, I think what's really powerful about the film is, um, that it can't speak to different things that people have experienced.

SPEAKER_00 08:26 - 08:33

Because there's the universality of, of course, anyone who's been a parent and a mother, but also just anyone who's struggled with their mental health.

SPEAKER_00 08:34 - 08:45

Um, have you, other than that time of postpartum depression, struggled with sort of mental health issues, things like that, that, that helped you sort of understand the character a little better?

SPEAKER_01 08:46 - 09:05

Um, yeah, I've struggled with anxiety for most of my life and anxieties close friend is normally depression because like by the end of the day are so exhausted from the like adrenal burnout that you just kind of plummet and get really sad from that.

SPEAKER_01 09:05 - 09:07

So I've, I've struggled with that before.

SPEAKER_01 09:07 - 09:19

Or I think more of what I kind of brought into the headspace is the feeling of just never feeling like you're doing it right.

SPEAKER_01 09:19 - 09:28

Like I, I just, I, I just kind of like live in guilt and just, you know, am I, is this the right breakfast?

SPEAKER_01 09:28 - 09:32

Is this, is this what we should be talking about on the way home from school?

SPEAKER_01 09:32 - 09:51

I just, I just kind of, I'm always worried that I'm failing them and I can keep myself from being like swallowed by that because I, I know I'm a good mom and I know my kids are happy and I have a great husband and I have like great support at home.

SPEAKER_01 09:51 - 09:55

So I can like do a reality check and be like, everybody's okay.

SPEAKER_01 09:55 - 09:59

You're just spinning, but she can't and she doesn't.

SPEAKER_01 09:59 - 10:01

And so she really just goes there.

SPEAKER_01 10:01 - 10:06

So that was kind of very easy for me to follow that.

SPEAKER_01 10:07 - 10:07

That spiral.

SPEAKER_01 10:07 - 10:09

Kind of, yeah, spin down the drain.

SPEAKER_00 10:10 - 10:18

The other thing that she sort of deals with is a loss of her creative self that is also really hard.

SPEAKER_00 10:18 - 10:36

I mean, one of the things that I think as, as mothers, you can feel often is just how your child seems to just leech all of the, all of the energy, all of the feeling of motivation out of you.

SPEAKER_00 10:36 - 10:39

And you just kind of give it all to them.

SPEAKER_00 10:41 - 10:49

And as someone who is in a creative field as an actor, I mean, was that something that you kind of were able to connect with?

SPEAKER_01 10:49 - 10:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:50 - 10:55

I mean, having kids is sacrificial and it's gratifying and it's amazing and rewarding.

SPEAKER_01 10:56 - 10:58

It's all of the things, but it's not, not sacrificial.

SPEAKER_01 10:59 - 11:06

And yeah, I've never had to say no to something before that I really wanted to do.

SPEAKER_01 11:06 - 11:08

You know, I could just go do it.

SPEAKER_01 11:10 - 11:21

I do wrestle with, it feels vain and selfish that I love being a creative person as much as I do.

SPEAKER_01 11:22 - 11:29

My kids and my family are more important, obviously, but they feel like equal parts of me, like an equal part.

SPEAKER_01 11:29 - 11:31

Like I would not be complete if I couldn't make movies.

SPEAKER_01 11:32 - 11:32

I just wouldn't.

SPEAKER_01 11:35 - 11:44

And on the one hand, like when I had my son, my firstborn, I was like, being an actress is the perfect job for being a hands-on mom.

SPEAKER_01 11:45 - 11:47

Like I can go years without working.

SPEAKER_01 11:48 - 11:50

I can be so hands-on, you know, and then I go work a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 11:50 - 11:52

And then they visit, yada, yada, yada.

SPEAKER_01 11:52 - 11:53

And like, this is perfect.

SPEAKER_01 11:54 - 11:57

And then now I'm realizing, I'm like, oh, that was COVID.

SPEAKER_01 11:57 - 12:00

And you are quite busy.

SPEAKER_01 12:00 - 12:10

And so I'm kind of reckoning with that and have been of just like how much is it okay to love this and not want to give it up?

SPEAKER_01 12:10 - 12:13

So I definitely relate to that.

SPEAKER_01 12:13 - 12:16

I found the opposite problem with creativity.

SPEAKER_01 12:16 - 12:27

I had so much anxiety when my second was born that the only way I could escape was in stories and books and, in particular, the American Revolution.

SPEAKER_01 12:27 - 12:33

And so I really lost myself in kind of ideas.

SPEAKER_01 12:33 - 12:37

And that's always been how I digest feelings.

SPEAKER_01 12:38 - 12:41

The American Revolution, do tell.

SPEAKER_01 12:42 - 12:46

Well, I read this amazing book called The Revolutionary by Stacey Schiff.

SPEAKER_00 12:46 - 12:47

I haven't read it.

SPEAKER_01 12:47 - 12:57

It's about like Sam Adams and just kind of, I feel like the only, the closest thing we can get to a crystal ball is history.

SPEAKER_01 12:58 - 13:03

And I feel like we're all kind of fighting over what it means to be an American right now.

SPEAKER_01 13:04 - 13:12

And so I just was interested in what the original Americans' ideals were.

SPEAKER_01 13:12 - 13:13

What did they think that they were building?

SPEAKER_01 13:14 - 13:15

What did they think they were getting away from?

SPEAKER_01 13:15 - 13:17

And what did they think they were creating?

SPEAKER_00 13:18 - 13:28

I do want to talk about the American Revolution and politics, but you're like, you're like, let's go.

SPEAKER_00 13:29 - 13:33

But I wanted to ask you one more thing about the film that struck me, which is this.

SPEAKER_00 13:34 - 13:35

There's a lot of nudity in the film.

SPEAKER_00 13:36 - 13:38

There's a lot of unvarnished nudity in the film.

SPEAKER_00 13:40 - 13:48

And, you know, knowing that you were pregnant, I'm just wondering how you, we have such a complicated relationship in this country with nudity and women.

SPEAKER_00 13:48 - 13:52

And I was wondering how you thought about that in the film and like sort of the challenges of that.

SPEAKER_01 13:53 - 13:56

I'm definitely not bothered by people that are bothered by nudity.

SPEAKER_01 13:57 - 14:01

You know, I, they don't have to see it.

SPEAKER_01 14:01 - 14:02

They can fast forward it.

SPEAKER_01 14:02 - 14:09

But I don't, I don't really care about being judged in that way.

SPEAKER_01 14:09 - 14:15

There's this freedom of vanity in a way because I'm pregnant and it's my second.

SPEAKER_01 14:16 - 14:22

Like I really was not adequately prepared for how, I was like, oh, I'll just be like four or five months.

SPEAKER_01 14:22 - 14:25

Like I won't even start showing until I'm like six or seven months.

SPEAKER_01 14:25 - 14:28

And that's not true when it's your second.

SPEAKER_01 14:28 - 14:34

Um, I just kind of had to like let go of any kind of vanity.

SPEAKER_01 14:34 - 14:39

I mean, I sucked in as hard as I possibly could have, but I wasn't going to diet.

SPEAKER_01 14:39 - 14:40

I was pregnant.

SPEAKER_01 14:40 - 14:41

I couldn't exercise.

SPEAKER_01 14:41 - 14:41

I was working.

SPEAKER_01 14:42 - 14:45

So there's just like this kind of like real freedom to it.

SPEAKER_00 14:45 - 14:46

Did that feel good?

SPEAKER_01 14:47 - 14:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:47 - 14:47

That release?

SPEAKER_01 14:48 - 14:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:48 - 14:49

It feels nice.

SPEAKER_01 14:49 - 14:55

I mean, I do have moments where I'm like, what technically are the differences between me and a prostitute?

SPEAKER_01 14:55 - 14:56

But it doesn't keep me up at night.

SPEAKER_00 14:57 - 14:58

What?

SPEAKER_01 14:59 - 15:00

Oh, wait.

SPEAKER_01 15:00 - 15:02

Well, I don't think that there's anything wrong with prostitution either.

SPEAKER_00 15:02 - 15:04

I don't, I, I, I'm not saying that there is.

SPEAKER_00 15:04 - 15:07

I just, it's, it's funny that your mind went there.

SPEAKER_01 15:07 - 15:09

Oh, I'm very good at attacking myself.

SPEAKER_01 15:09 - 15:11

I can find every angle.

SPEAKER_01 15:11 - 15:12

In fact, I should do this interview.

SPEAKER_01 15:12 - 15:13

What would you ask you?

SPEAKER_01 15:14 - 15:14

No.

SPEAKER_01 15:14 - 15:16

My God, it would be so sad.

SPEAKER_01 15:17 - 15:17

Um.

SPEAKER_00 15:18 - 15:21

Sorry, I have to pause you too because your accomplice is asking to adjust your jacket.

SPEAKER_01 15:21 - 15:22

Oh, no.

SPEAKER_01 15:22 - 15:23

It means she didn't like something.

SPEAKER_01 15:23 - 15:24

What'd I say?

SPEAKER_01 15:24 - 15:25

Actually, now that we're paused, I'm going to be.

SPEAKER_01 15:25 - 15:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 15:26 - 15:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 15:26 - 15:27

I'm just going to run out of the time.

SPEAKER_00 15:28 - 15:28

All right.

SPEAKER_00 15:28 - 15:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:32 - 15:32

For what?

SPEAKER_01 15:32 - 15:33

Is everything okay?

SPEAKER_01 15:33 - 15:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:33 - 15:34

No, I didn't get yelled at.

SPEAKER_01 15:34 - 15:35

I just peed.

SPEAKER_01 15:35 - 15:37

I believe in freedom of the press.

SPEAKER_00 15:37 - 15:39

I believe in freedom of the press too.

SPEAKER_00 15:39 - 15:39

Damn it.

SPEAKER_01 15:41 - 15:42

That reminds me of one battle after another.

SPEAKER_01 15:43 - 15:44

Talking about freedom, baby.

SPEAKER_00 15:44 - 15:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 15:45 - 16:08

So, the other thing that you, your sort of persona in the world has been someone who is very funny and out there and has sometimes been viewed as like too loud, too much, and has sort of faced backlash and also people are charmed by it.

SPEAKER_00 16:08 - 16:24

And I was wondering, now looking back at that era, like what do you think about how you were perceived and how you sort of interacted with the public as you were coming up when you were younger?

SPEAKER_01 16:24 - 16:34

I mean, now that I'm in my 30s and a mom, I can see how young I was.

SPEAKER_01 16:34 - 16:37

Like when I meet a 23-year-old now, I mean, think about a 23-year-old.

SPEAKER_01 16:38 - 16:39

They're children.

SPEAKER_01 16:41 - 16:47

As horrified as I am at some things, like if something comes across my phone, I just like absolutely could never watch it.

SPEAKER_01 16:47 - 16:50

Like an old interview or something, I'm just like, oh my God, like so cringe.

SPEAKER_01 16:50 - 16:51

But I get it.

SPEAKER_01 16:51 - 16:59

I was young and nervous and defensive and like, you know, awkward.

SPEAKER_01 16:59 - 17:11

I think when I remember when I was nominated for Silver Linings and somebody was like, everybody loves you.

SPEAKER_01 17:11 - 17:12

What does that feel like?

SPEAKER_01 17:12 - 17:23

And I was like, it feels like precarious, you know, like I'm waiting for it because like it's not, you know, it's going to come down.

SPEAKER_01 17:23 - 17:25

That's just like the nature of things.

SPEAKER_01 17:25 - 17:41

And then I fell getting my Oscar and then the next year, I remember the moment and I was waving to fans and I tripped on a cone and I remember being like, fuck, that's it.

SPEAKER_01 17:41 - 17:43

Like nobody's going to believe that.

SPEAKER_01 17:43 - 17:45

Nobody's going to believe that I fell two years in a row.

SPEAKER_01 17:45 - 17:46

I did.

SPEAKER_01 17:46 - 17:51

Because after you tripped on your Oscar, people said that you faked it.

SPEAKER_01 17:51 - 17:52

Yeah, I didn't.

SPEAKER_01 17:54 - 18:00

And so that became, I was just like, yeah, that's, I'm fucked.

SPEAKER_01 18:00 - 18:08

And I was, everybody just kind of thought that meant everything that I did was fake and it was like all a shtick.

SPEAKER_01 18:08 - 18:09

This is how it felt to me.

SPEAKER_01 18:10 - 18:14

That I just kind of got like found out as this like fraud.

SPEAKER_00 18:14 - 18:23

Yeah, I mean, you said at that moment that you felt that other people had gotten sick of you and you had gotten sick of yourself.

SPEAKER_00 18:23 - 18:25

And I'm interested in that you had gotten sick of yourself.

SPEAKER_00 18:25 - 18:26

What did that mean?

SPEAKER_01 18:26 - 18:36

I just was sick of doing this and doing interviews is really scary.

SPEAKER_01 18:36 - 18:38

Like, I'm very blessed.

SPEAKER_01 18:38 - 18:38

I'm very lucky.

SPEAKER_01 18:38 - 18:39

I'm very grateful.

SPEAKER_01 18:39 - 18:40

I have a great job.

SPEAKER_01 18:41 - 18:43

But it's terrifying.

SPEAKER_01 18:43 - 18:53

Like you finish an interview and, or, you know, you're gearing up to release a film and it's like, you know, the circus tent, the curtains are opening.

SPEAKER_01 18:53 - 18:58

And it's just like, you're putting yourself out there and you're putting yourself out there to be picked apart.

SPEAKER_01 18:58 - 18:59

And it's scary.

SPEAKER_01 18:59 - 19:02

And I was just so tired of it.

SPEAKER_01 19:03 - 19:13

I was just so tired of being quoted and people talking about the quotes and being, you know, I just was so tired of seeing myself in that, in that way.

SPEAKER_01 19:13 - 19:15

I needed a break from it.

SPEAKER_01 19:15 - 19:18

People needed a break from it.

SPEAKER_01 19:18 - 19:20

Then I took a break and enjoyed the break.

SPEAKER_01 19:21 - 19:22

It was a mutual break.

SPEAKER_00 19:23 - 19:27

What did you do during that period where you took a step back?

SPEAKER_00 19:27 - 19:33

Because that was a two and a half year period where you weren't actually out in front.

SPEAKER_00 19:33 - 19:34

You got married.

SPEAKER_00 19:34 - 19:35

It was COVID.

SPEAKER_00 19:35 - 19:36

So there's reasons for all of that.

SPEAKER_00 19:37 - 19:39

But how were you recalibrating during that period?

SPEAKER_01 19:40 - 19:43

Well, I don't really know.

SPEAKER_01 19:43 - 19:44

I lived with my cousin for a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 19:45 - 19:45

Hi, cuz.

SPEAKER_01 19:47 - 19:50

Because we were like in our, I don't know, mid-20s.

SPEAKER_01 19:50 - 19:54

She just kind of moved into my apartment in New York and we became roommates.

SPEAKER_01 19:55 - 19:56

And it was fun.

SPEAKER_01 19:56 - 19:57

Then we watched TV.

SPEAKER_01 19:57 - 20:00

I took my dog to Central Park.

SPEAKER_01 20:01 - 20:02

Then I fell in love.

SPEAKER_01 20:03 - 20:06

Then I started learning more about contemporary post-war art.

SPEAKER_01 20:08 - 20:08

As you do.

SPEAKER_01 20:08 - 20:09

As you do.

SPEAKER_01 20:09 - 20:10

Well, my husband's an art dealer.

SPEAKER_01 20:10 - 20:10

Right.

SPEAKER_01 20:11 - 20:13

May I ask how you met your husband?

SPEAKER_01 20:13 - 20:14

Yeah, he showed me art.

SPEAKER_01 20:14 - 20:21

I was considering buying something and I asked my friend Gene, who actually ended up directing me in No Hard Feelings.

SPEAKER_01 20:22 - 20:23

But I asked him, do you know anybody in the art world?

SPEAKER_01 20:24 - 20:27

And he sent me Cook's number.

SPEAKER_01 20:27 - 20:29

I didn't know, you know.

SPEAKER_01 20:29 - 20:33

And then I showed up to the gallery and was like, oh my God, what is your deal?

SPEAKER_01 20:35 - 20:39

And then he stopped being my art advisor.

SPEAKER_00 20:41 - 20:53

Do you find it hard to be your authentic self when you're trying to sort of interact with the public because of what you went through?

SPEAKER_00 20:54 - 21:03

Because I saw you at this press conference that you gave in Spain and you seem a lot more reserved than you used to be, more careful, more considered.

SPEAKER_00 21:04 - 21:07

And I'm just wondering if that is deliberate.

SPEAKER_01 21:07 - 21:23

Yeah, I mean, I think I've also grown up and yeah, I'm a lot more nervous about whatever I say publicly.

SPEAKER_01 21:23 - 21:29

I try not to, you know, I don't want to like give an interview that's like a bunch of like sound bites and like a word salad.

SPEAKER_01 21:29 - 21:38

I just like, I don't think that that's like interesting and I don't feel like that's like what I'm like, it just would feel so inauthentic and not like what I'm here to do.

SPEAKER_01 21:41 - 21:43

So I'm trying to strike that balance.

SPEAKER_00 21:44 - 21:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:46 - 21:54

I mean, I'm going to break the fourth wall here, but I mean, it's always a strange thing to do, right?

SPEAKER_00 21:54 - 21:56

I'm a journalist asking you questions.

SPEAKER_00 21:56 - 22:03

I obviously want you to give revealing answers and you have to protect yourself as an artist and as a private person in the world.

SPEAKER_00 22:03 - 22:11

And so I often think about how complicated that that dance is, especially for women.

SPEAKER_00 22:12 - 22:21

I mean, do you think as a sort of female artist that you have been treated differently than perhaps other, you know, men?

SPEAKER_00 22:21 - 22:28

Because you were young, you were, you know, kind of open to the world in a way that perhaps other people aren't.

SPEAKER_00 22:28 - 22:30

You didn't seem so jaded, I think.

SPEAKER_01 22:30 - 22:31

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 22:32 - 22:38

I don't know if it's different than if I were a man because I've just never lived that existence.

SPEAKER_01 22:38 - 22:39

I only know this one.

SPEAKER_01 22:39 - 22:40

That was the wrong question.

SPEAKER_01 22:40 - 22:41

And I feel, no, no, no, it wasn't.

SPEAKER_01 22:42 - 22:43

I'm getting around to it.

SPEAKER_01 22:43 - 22:48

I'm just dancing around your question because we are doing the dance.

UNKNOWN 22:49 - 22:49

We are.

SPEAKER_01 22:50 - 23:03

I feel it when it's time for women to be the morality police, you know, it's easy for me to see it when it's happening, you know, when somebody does a Woody Allen movie and they only ask the women, you know, well, how do you feel about working with Woody Allen?

SPEAKER_01 23:03 - 23:04

You know, and you can just watch it.

SPEAKER_01 23:04 - 23:07

You can just watch not one male actor get asked that question.

SPEAKER_01 23:07 - 23:13

And I see that play out a lot of just like women being the examples, women being the morality police.

SPEAKER_01 23:13 - 23:31

And also I think there is something, I don't know what it is, it's really easy to hate women viciously in a way that it's almost like we have this ire in us that specifically there's like an extra pocket for it.

SPEAKER_01 23:31 - 23:36

And the ire that people are capable of, I think, is different.

SPEAKER_01 23:37 - 23:43

I never at any point felt like this is unfair because of my gender.

SPEAKER_01 23:43 - 23:49

I felt like this is unfair because you created this.

SPEAKER_01 23:49 - 23:55

Like, you know, you ask and you ask and you ask and you want and you want and you want and then you don't want it anymore.

SPEAKER_01 23:55 - 23:58

And I felt like rejected.

SPEAKER_01 23:58 - 24:04

But that's as now that I'm older, that is a natural push-pull of the process.

SPEAKER_01 24:04 - 24:10

And I have to be in control of how much access is given and how much isn't.

SPEAKER_00 24:10 - 24:27

And I did want to ask you about your relationship with some of your directors because you have been with directors who are known as being very difficult, challenging directors, people who are auteurs, have really clear visions.

SPEAKER_00 24:29 - 24:41

And, you know, for example, when you were making Mother with Darren Aronofsky, you hyperventilated, you tore your diaphragm, you got medical attention, and then he made you film the scene again when you got back.

SPEAKER_00 24:41 - 24:45

And I'm just wondering what that kind of intensity does for you.

SPEAKER_00 24:45 - 24:50

Like, how do you work with directors who really bring that out in you and demand that of you?

SPEAKER_01 24:52 - 24:54

I stay loose.

SPEAKER_01 24:54 - 25:07

I think David O. Russell really taught me how to—I think because of David, I've never really—it's never really mattered what the director's kind of methodology is.

SPEAKER_00 25:07 - 25:21

I can kind of— I mean, Amy Adams, who was in, you know, American Hustle with you, and that was obviously David O. Russell, said of you, Jennifer doesn't take any of it on.

SPEAKER_00 25:21 - 25:27

She's Teflon, sort of saying that you don't absorb some of that stuff.

SPEAKER_01 25:27 - 25:28

Yeah, I didn't.

SPEAKER_01 25:28 - 25:38

But I really felt like David, that was his way of communicating in a non-bullshit way.

SPEAKER_01 25:38 - 25:42

I never felt like he was, like, degrading or yelling at me.

SPEAKER_01 25:42 - 25:45

Like, if he didn't like something, he was just like, that was terrible.

SPEAKER_01 25:45 - 25:46

It looked like shit.

SPEAKER_01 25:46 - 25:47

Do it better.

SPEAKER_01 25:47 - 25:51

And that was, like, a very helpful conversation.

SPEAKER_01 25:51 - 25:52

Like, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:53 - 25:53

I'll do it better.

SPEAKER_01 25:53 - 25:54

How so?

SPEAKER_01 25:54 - 25:54

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 25:54 - 25:55

Slower?

SPEAKER_01 25:55 - 25:56

Not so loud?

SPEAKER_01 25:56 - 25:59

It was just very, you know, and I'm not sensitive.

SPEAKER_01 26:00 - 26:04

I don't know how you can be in this industry.

SPEAKER_01 26:04 - 26:08

Like, especially, I mean, these young girls hopefully are going to grow up in a different time.

SPEAKER_00 26:08 - 26:13

Well, I mean, Amy Adams said that she also, you know, that she cried on set when she talked about you being Teflon.

SPEAKER_00 26:13 - 26:15

She said that for her, it was hard.

SPEAKER_01 26:16 - 26:19

Well, maybe he was harder on her than he was on me.

SPEAKER_01 26:20 - 26:21

And also, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 26:21 - 26:22

I mean, yes, of course I'm sensitive.

SPEAKER_01 26:22 - 26:23

I'm really sensitive.

SPEAKER_01 26:23 - 26:26

I was about to say, we've literally had this entire conversation

SPEAKER_00 26:26 - 26:27

about how sensitive you are.

SPEAKER_01 26:27 - 26:28

I'm so sensitive.

SPEAKER_01 26:28 - 26:29

I can't believe I just said that.

SPEAKER_01 26:30 - 26:32

I had a conversation with a girl the other night.

SPEAKER_01 26:32 - 26:35

She was like, oh, I'm the middle of two, with two brothers.

SPEAKER_01 26:35 - 26:37

And I was like, I'm the middle child with two brothers.

SPEAKER_01 26:38 - 26:40

And we just, like, talked about it passionately for five minutes.

SPEAKER_01 26:40 - 26:42

And then I was like, I'm the youngest.

SPEAKER_01 26:45 - 26:45

I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01 26:46 - 26:47

And she gave me the weirdest look, obviously.

SPEAKER_01 26:48 - 26:49

Because, what?

SPEAKER_01 26:49 - 26:50

But that was that.

SPEAKER_01 26:50 - 26:51

I'm like, I'm not sensitive.

SPEAKER_01 26:52 - 26:53

I'm extremely sensitive.

SPEAKER_00 26:53 - 26:55

I was going to say, I didn't want to say anything.

SPEAKER_00 26:55 - 26:58

But I was like, we have talked now for quite a bit about this.

SPEAKER_01 26:58 - 27:00

I'm more sensitive than Amy Adams, just flat out.

SPEAKER_01 27:00 - 27:00

Right.

SPEAKER_01 27:00 - 27:02

I guess I don't mean anything I say.

SPEAKER_01 27:02 - 27:04

Do you still want to continue interviewing me?

SPEAKER_01 27:04 - 27:05

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 27:05 - 27:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 27:06 - 27:07

But maybe you're less sensitive about the acting.

SPEAKER_00 27:08 - 27:09

I guess what I'm trying to get at here.

SPEAKER_01 27:09 - 27:10

Yeah, I'm not sensitive about acting.

SPEAKER_01 27:10 - 27:12

I'm not competitive about acting.

SPEAKER_01 27:12 - 27:15

My husband is always really amazed.

SPEAKER_01 27:15 - 27:17

Because I am so competitive.

SPEAKER_01 27:18 - 27:20

Like, when we play tennis, I throw my racket.

SPEAKER_01 27:20 - 27:21

I scream.

SPEAKER_01 27:21 - 27:22

I rage.

SPEAKER_01 27:22 - 27:24

I, like, I can't do a puzzle.

SPEAKER_01 27:24 - 27:26

Like, I'm so competitive.

SPEAKER_01 27:27 - 27:30

Like, I make eye contact with him when we're brushing teeth sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 27:30 - 27:32

Because I'm like, I did it a little bit longer than you.

SPEAKER_01 27:32 - 27:33

Did you notice that?

SPEAKER_01 27:33 - 27:38

And so he finds it fascinating that I'm not competitive with acting.

SPEAKER_01 27:38 - 27:40

But I think it's because I feel secure.

SPEAKER_01 27:41 - 27:42

So why would I get competitive?

SPEAKER_01 27:42 - 27:44

I feel fine.

SPEAKER_01 27:44 - 27:50

When it's coming to the, when it comes to getting the director, I mean, you need to have a visionary.

SPEAKER_01 27:51 - 28:00

And so I think it's just working with a real artist that I can trust.

SPEAKER_00 28:00 - 28:05

I mean, you're about to do a film with Martin Scorsese, which is coming up.

SPEAKER_01 28:05 - 28:06

Yeah, I don't know if I trust him.

SPEAKER_01 28:08 - 28:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:08 - 28:09

I mean, why would you?

SPEAKER_00 28:09 - 28:10

He's such a neophyte.

SPEAKER_01 28:10 - 28:12

He's going to have to really prove himself to me.

SPEAKER_00 28:13 - 28:22

Tell me about, in advance of working with a director like Martin Scorsese, you haven't actually been directed by him.

SPEAKER_00 28:22 - 28:25

I mean, how do you prepare for something like that?

SPEAKER_01 28:26 - 28:31

I'll probably do what I always do, which is panic and then try to get in touch with, like, an acting teacher.

SPEAKER_01 28:32 - 28:35

And then meet the acting teacher and then never see them again.

SPEAKER_01 28:38 - 28:39

That's your process.

SPEAKER_01 28:40 - 28:41

That is my process.

SPEAKER_01 28:41 - 28:47

And at this point, it's almost, like, superstitious if I don't take the one meeting and then not follow up.

SPEAKER_01 28:47 - 28:48

I'll read.

SPEAKER_01 28:48 - 28:49

I'll be prepared.

SPEAKER_01 28:49 - 28:50

I'll memorize.

SPEAKER_01 28:50 - 28:52

Leo is, you know.

SPEAKER_01 28:52 - 28:53

Leonardo DiCaprio.

SPEAKER_01 28:53 - 28:54

Leonardo DiCaprio.

SPEAKER_01 28:55 - 28:56

We worked together on Don't Look Up.

SPEAKER_01 28:57 - 29:10

And, you know, he's somebody who just, like, he, like, knows the way, he knows when his character was born and what kind of cologne they wear.

SPEAKER_01 29:10 - 29:24

And, like, Leo in One Battle After Another is so serious in his commitment and, like, is so, it's so real and that's what makes it hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 29:24 - 29:32

You know, his sides are covered in, like, he's like Carrie Matheson, you know, in Homeland.

SPEAKER_01 29:32 - 29:33

I don't know what sides means.

SPEAKER_01 29:33 - 29:35

You don't know what sides mean?

SPEAKER_00 29:35 - 29:35

No.

SPEAKER_01 29:35 - 29:36

Oh, excuse me.

SPEAKER_00 29:36 - 29:36

Sorry.

SPEAKER_00 29:36 - 29:36

Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 29:36 - 29:40

Didn't mean to get all silver screen on you.

SPEAKER_01 29:41 - 29:43

Well, kid, sides are.

SPEAKER_01 29:43 - 29:43

Tell me, tell me.

SPEAKER_01 29:44 - 29:46

Sides are just, like, a few pages, like a scene.

SPEAKER_01 29:46 - 29:46

Right, okay.

SPEAKER_01 29:47 - 29:48

From the whole script.

SPEAKER_01 29:48 - 29:53

So, when I was working with Leo, I was just like, I got to be doing whatever he's doing.

SPEAKER_01 29:53 - 29:55

Like, this is incredible.

SPEAKER_01 29:55 - 29:59

But Christian Bale changed me a lot to an American Hustle.

SPEAKER_01 30:00 - 30:00

I was 23.

SPEAKER_01 30:02 - 30:08

And I was always very, I remember, like, I was always very sensitive about getting embarrassed in front of the crew.

SPEAKER_01 30:08 - 30:10

And, like, I thought acting was, like, embarrassing.

SPEAKER_01 30:11 - 30:16

And so, I would just kind of try to make a point of, like, not acting until I just absolutely had to, like, at action.

SPEAKER_01 30:17 - 30:23

But then I would see Christian, who didn't, like, it's not like he stayed in character, like, all day or anything.

SPEAKER_01 30:23 - 30:23

Like, nothing.

SPEAKER_01 30:23 - 30:31

He just, when the crew started getting ready, you know, like, and the lights started getting ready and the sound, and it became clear we were going to start rolling soon.

SPEAKER_01 30:31 - 30:33

And he would kind of slowly start getting ready.

SPEAKER_01 30:33 - 30:36

And then I was like, that seems like a good idea.

SPEAKER_01 30:36 - 30:44

And I should do that when I'm more mature and can handle people looking at me and being like, psh, she's acting.

SPEAKER_00 30:45 - 30:47

You mentioned one battle after another.

SPEAKER_01 30:47 - 30:48

Oh, my God.

SPEAKER_01 30:48 - 30:49

I saw it last night.

SPEAKER_01 30:49 - 30:51

I know that it is now further in the future.

SPEAKER_00 30:52 - 30:52

If you're hearing this.

SPEAKER_00 30:52 - 30:53

Yes, it doesn't matter what time stamping it.

SPEAKER_00 30:53 - 30:54

You saw it last night.

SPEAKER_01 30:54 - 30:58

I saw it last night in 70mm IMAX, as God intended.

SPEAKER_01 30:59 - 31:02

It's the most incredible movie I've ever seen in my entire life.

SPEAKER_01 31:02 - 31:12

I feel so grateful to have just, for that to exist, I just, like, kissed the ground that that movie walks on.

SPEAKER_00 31:12 - 31:22

It's also a film that, as we started discussing, it speaks to this political moment in a very interesting and important way.

SPEAKER_00 31:22 - 31:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 31:23 - 31:25

That is funny, that is complicated.

SPEAKER_00 31:26 - 31:27

And it's a good idea.

SPEAKER_00 31:28 - 31:29

It's not a bad idea.

SPEAKER_00 31:30 - 31:30

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_00 31:31 - 31:32

A revolution.

SPEAKER_00 31:33 - 31:35

You have been politically outspoken in the past.

SPEAKER_00 31:36 - 31:40

In the first Trump administration, you know, you had a lot to say.

SPEAKER_00 31:43 - 31:47

I'm curious how you feel about talking out now.

SPEAKER_01 31:49 - 31:51

I don't really know if I should.

SPEAKER_01 31:51 - 31:57

I think, like, the first Trump administration was so wild.

SPEAKER_01 31:57 - 32:00

And just how can we let this stand?

SPEAKER_01 32:00 - 32:06

Like, I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off.

SPEAKER_01 32:06 - 32:17

But as we've learned, election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for.

SPEAKER_01 32:18 - 32:20

And so then what am I doing?

SPEAKER_01 32:20 - 32:29

I'm just sharing my opinion on something that's going to just add fuel to a fire that's ripping the country apart.

SPEAKER_01 32:29 - 32:32

I mean, we are so divided.

SPEAKER_01 32:33 - 32:39

I think I'm in a complicated recalibration because I'm also an artist.

SPEAKER_01 32:39 - 32:59

And I, with this temperature and the way that things can turn out, I don't want to start turning people off to films and to art that could change consciousness or change the world because they don't like my political opinions.

SPEAKER_01 32:59 - 33:13

I want to protect my craft so that you can still get lost in what I'm doing, what I'm showing.

SPEAKER_01 33:16 - 33:31

And if I can't say something that's going to speak to some kind of peace or lowering the temperature or some sort of solution, I just don't want, I don't want to be a part of the problem.

SPEAKER_01 33:31 - 33:32

I don't want to make the problem worse.

SPEAKER_00 33:33 - 33:54

I mean, I saw you at a press conference recently when you were speaking about Gaza point to our elected officials as the people who need to be responsible for answering those questions and not putting that on actors and other celebrities to sort of take a stand.

SPEAKER_01 33:54 - 34:13

Yeah, just like if it's like looking at a chess board, you know, you just watch these actors' faces who have had incredible careers and done amazing things and made incredible contributions that all of a sudden one half of the internet or one half of the country just can't stand anymore.

SPEAKER_01 34:13 - 34:15

They don't want to see their face anymore because of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

SPEAKER_01 34:15 - 34:20

And I get so upset for those people and those actors and it just feels so wrong.

SPEAKER_01 34:21 - 34:23

So I don't, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 34:23 - 34:27

I try to express myself and my politics through my work.

SPEAKER_01 34:27 - 34:37

I made a documentary called Bread and Roses about the Taliban re-takeover in Afghanistan and Zorofsky versus Texas about the abortion ban.

SPEAKER_01 34:38 - 34:50

Pretty much a lot of my movies coming out from my production company are expressions of the political landscape.

SPEAKER_01 34:51 - 34:55

Um, that's how I feel like I can be helpful.

SPEAKER_01 34:55 - 35:01

That's how I feel like I can, I don't know, bring awareness or do something.

SPEAKER_01 35:02 - 35:06

Do you regret how you dealt with things before?

SPEAKER_01 35:07 - 35:08

I don't know, probably.

SPEAKER_01 35:08 - 35:12

I mean, I regret everything I've ever done or said, but, um.

SPEAKER_01 35:13 - 35:14

Five seconds after you've done or said.

SPEAKER_01 35:14 - 35:19

Yeah, of course, I'm going to take the zip drives out of all of these cameras when I leave.

SPEAKER_01 35:20 - 35:32

Um, it feels, the second term feels different, you know, because it's like we all knew he said what he was going to do.

SPEAKER_01 35:33 - 35:35

We, we knew what he did for four years.

SPEAKER_01 35:35 - 35:37

He was very clear.

SPEAKER_01 35:39 - 35:41

And that's what we chose.

SPEAKER_01 35:42 - 35:42

Again.

SPEAKER_01 35:44 - 35:48

I think there's something that just feels different about the second, the second term.

SPEAKER_00 35:50 - 35:53

I want to thank you for, um, being so thoughtful.

SPEAKER_00 35:53 - 35:54

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 35:54 - 35:55

I really do appreciate it.

SPEAKER_00 35:55 - 35:55

Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_00 35:56 - 35:56

Yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_01 36:01 - 36:02

With the mask off.

SPEAKER_00 36:04 - 36:08

I, it is often a, a thought process.

SPEAKER_00 36:08 - 36:09

It's a dance.

SPEAKER_00 36:09 - 36:11

And I, and thank you for dancing.

SPEAKER_01 36:11 - 36:11

No, of course.

SPEAKER_00 36:11 - 36:14

You were a very thoughtful person.

SPEAKER_00 36:14 - 36:14

Thank you again.

SPEAKER_01 36:15 - 36:16

Thank you guys.

SPEAKER_00 36:16 - 36:17

And please don't rip off the camera.

SPEAKER_00 36:17 - 36:24
