In addition, she spoke about her relationship with the character: “I am Ana. But emotionally? The weight stayed with me. There was no way to disconnect when I got home, because I had to study the lines for the next day or I was talking on the phone with Andrew Dominik (director of the film) until midnight. I dreamed that I had long conversations with her.”
