On feeling nervous before shooting with Timothée Chalamet: “I had just gotten my wisdom teeth taken out…my biggest fear was that my mouth would be vile, and then I would have to do a scene with Timothée where we have to be really close, and he would smell my dry socket breath.”

On how she is able to relinquish her desire to feel in control when acting: “As a Virgo, I hate not being in control of things, and spontaneity is difficult for me in real life…It’s funny, because that’s why I love acting so much. It’s the one space in which I can feel safe being spontaneous, because I’m not myself; I’m someone else. There are no consequences.”

On what attracted her to Dune: “Walking in other people’s shoes is my job…So when you have this beautiful meeting of escapism, other realms, dimensions, planets, futurist times, but then you can also exist as a human being who’s just going through life and trying to survive and exist [trailing off]…It’s so hard to find the heart in something really, really massive. And there’s no person better at that than Denis [Villeneuve].”

At the same time, Tom Holland just proved he’s a Zendaya super-fan!
