There's nothing as exciting as a comeback - seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and then getting a second chance.
I'm quite intuitive about what I pick. Often it's to do with what I've just done and how I'm feeling.
We grew up as kids watching those movies and we were exposed to themes of civil rights, unfairness, bigotry and fathers struggling against the kind of mob of the town, so you remember how you felt as a kid being taken seriously, that you are part of the human drama.
But just playing the partner of someone famous, I had a lot more freedom.
I'm so motivated to collaborate with people and help them realize the kind of collective vision.
