Look I didn't cope very well during most of this film and I was quite angry with both
of you for making me feel that way. 'I swear to God I got that sense from you
when you walked in that you were going say that- how dare you make me weep in public.'
So you weren't really good mates when you started making this, Catherine just told me,
it's very convincing you do look like best friends, so how did you become best friends
so quickly? Did you have to sort of speed up the process and go on holiday together?
'Trust' We had something to focus on, and we were
open to it but it was very easy, and it was very instant. It's like that willingness to
unzip and just jump right into each others soul and heart and skin.
Drew is very warm hearted and grounded- so is she. It would have been such a detrimental
disservice to this film had we not been- imagine if we were just like, marching off to our
trailers. Well it's too late for drugs now. It's never
too late for drugs. I want Milly. Who? Milly, my best friend. We did everything together.
While Milly wasn't always entirely appropriate, she became a wonderful mother. While I was
still just an Auntie. 'Your eggs are ready.' 'Not according to this.' I didn't have many
pictures that Milly wasn't in. She was always there.
Although we didn't know each other when we started as well, we had met a few times and
knew that people we both loved, loved the other person. So we were like, well that must
mean something very positive and that helped with the trust too and we just have fun together
too. And she knew, she wrote me a letter,- I begged her to do the movie- the most lovely
letter I've ever gotten and so much so it was like, here we go. I've got to go.
The lump is malignant. "Hey, what you up to at lunchtime?" "Is everything okay?" I have
to have chemo like straight away. Well is it contained? In my body- yes! Oh Jesus.
I haven't cried this much since Ghost, so I wondered what films- do you have any off
the top of your head, that when you see it just makes you sob?
Well I have to watch The Little Mermaid all the time and I cry every time that Ariel marries
Eric. I do- and her father Triton's there and Sebastian is happy and it's all just good.
I love a fairytale. Terms of Endearment. I do cry, I love watching movies and crying.
Ghost is an amazing film. I love this movie Captains Courageous. That was the film that
made me cry the hardest, first in life. It's a Wonderful Life, that will always. The movie
Up. Oh- Up, forget about Up! That is a killer! Driver, take us here please! This isn't the
way home! Think of it as an adventure. Why do you suck me into this sh*t. *music* Mum,
I'm going to give you some new bosoms. A bit bigger please. Mum! Come on Franken-tits,
let's get you bandaged up. What will you miss about each other when you
have to go- because your actors and you have to take different roles so your not going
to see each other an awful lot. We text all the time when we are apart too.
It will be like, "What's that restaurant again?" She'll be in Australia or something and I'm
in like Paris or something. Lucky you! I was going to say, I'm not. I'm like in California
or something, I don't know. We are always in contact. But I guess that wasn't the question.
What was the question? Just laughing with you. When your easy with people and it's fun.
I think the best thing about friendship is, there's an unspoken, kind of- you get each
other. For someone to really get you and just be down with the big mess of you. She's hilarious
too. And I can tell her anything, that's always really important.
There is a lot of time in these movies it will be just the relationship within the family
but this was quite specific to friendship- which is rare for women in movies.
Although I thought the way that, you know, what the husband and children go through in
this and especially in Tony's spectrum, I thought it was so profound. And it really
moved me to know and especially as a mother- I cannot handle watching those scenes that
I have nothing to do with. You must have been in bits making it, that's
what I don't get. But Catherine, the director, wouldn't let
us cry, which I think inadvertently has made you cry more because if we are all crying
you don't need to cry it's all happening. It's like people's strength, I think that
gets you the most. I really want there to be a heaven. Do you
think they'd let me in there? Not unless they've lowered the entry requirements.
