“It was a very, very intense film for me. I almost lost my mind because there are scenes where I have to kill people, and that energy is absolutely overwhelming. At the same time, as an actor, you never play a character with judgment. It's not my place to judge the fact that she kills people. It's for me to look at her psychology to see what makes her do that.” PeopleMindLooksPlayCharacterFactsFilmActorsEnergyLostPsychologyJudgingSceneJudgmentIntenseOverwhelmingLost My Mind Author:Tinsel Korey
