Timestamps:
00:25 - Small anecdote - wanted to say thanks for the CBS Sunday Morning profile ..
00:45 - Ann is depicted as both a spiritual leader and a social disruptor. Which part of that duality felt more dangerous to inhabit … the holiness or the rebellion?
02:30 - I feel you might be stripping down to the core for this role - did playing Ann ask you to unlearn anything or divorce yourself from what you know - or was the process more like an untouched forest for you to merge with this character?
