- Absolutely / I'm in a much better place with my mental health thank you for asking, I hope you are as well / in terms of the film, I had a lot of mental challenges while working on the film because she did / she had a lot of mental challenges, traumatised getting waterboarded by these men, disposed of, left behind / left because she's lost her looks, he leaves her for a younger more beautiful woman / Patrizia is someone fighting for her life and when you're in survival mode; I studied animals for this actually, I studied a house cat, a fox and a panther, they way they hunted, reproduced, enjoyed themselves / a house cat has a particular air about it, a fox is quite playful when it hunts, it's almost funny, where her humour comes from / when she gets served divorce papers, she turns from a fox to a panther / working with the animal and studying the animal changes the way you move, there's something primal about mental health, it's the animal in us / it's our brain, it's part of our body / I pray for the world all the time, I spent the first few months of covid raising over £150 million with Global Citizen and WHO for the solidarity fund, which provided equipment to healthcare workers / I pray all the time for the healing of healthcare workers, the trauma they have been through is immense and world-changing / the mental struggles we've all gone through during covid have been real / in my own way I used to try to make people laugh during quarantine but I can see the toll this took on the world, and I really pray for everybody / I think it's a good time to lean into kindness; if you do it and commit to it, it doesn't go bad ever.
