On working with Renee Zellweger on Judy: “Renée has been such an absolute babe. We both love Susan Tedeschi, and she’s like: ‘She’s playing next week, why don’t you come over?’ Yeah, she’s been lovely. She was really kind — even some mornings in the trailer, she’d show this really warm, protective heart. Just little things, looking out for me on the film.”
On getting therapy as an actress: “It’s harder [to do] when you’re away filming, because you have to build that relationship up. But I bloody love it. It’s been brilliant for me. It’s about being honest. There’s no point pretending. If I don’t do that in my own life, how the hell am I meant to play somebody else’s?”
On her anxiety and panic attacks in her teenage years: “It’s definitely better, but I’m still human. I still have days when I get sad. And I get days when I get happy, and I get days when I get scared. But now I feel the things. I’m not frightened of them. And actually they’re all important. You’ve just got to accept them, invite them in and say, ‘Have a cup of tea and what’s going on?’, instead of trying to repress them. Which I probably did when I was young, ’cause I was scared of them.”
