Quotes

“My character [in The Ghost] has this surprising childlike quality of being true to her instincts, especially for someone who has a complex backstory and is fated for tragedy. I find that part of her adorable. It makes her seem more human and relatable when she can sometimes come across as intense.”

“It’s encouraging and cathartic to watch marginalised characters overcome hardships and bring justice to evil—and we’ve been seeing more and more of this for quite some time now. It’s also one of the most effective devices for creating dramatic tension. The fact that women and children are no longer sidelined and have become proactive forces in stories is reflective of the change in our awareness as well as the social norms.”
