Excerpt:
Q: I was doing some reading and so many people have said it’s been cool to watch you grow up on-screen as Laura in Logan and in His Dark Materials. You’ve been acting for over a decade — is it strange to think about how you’ve grown up on-screen?
A: Wow, I feel like that’s such a hard question to answer. It’s just honestly been so fun. For me, I think having the opportunity to explore what I’ve always wanted to do — which is acting — has been the biggest privilege that I’ve had so far. I’ve been able to do things I’m really passionate about. It’s weird, though, when I watch things I did years ago because I always thought I was so grown up back then. When I did the second series of His Dark Materials, I thought I was so mature. Watching it back, I see now that I was such a baby. In five years, when I rewatch The Acolyte, I’ll probably think the same thing. It’s like watching my home videos.
Q: Seeing them as your home movies is a great way to put it. Do you feel like you’re aware of your own growth as an actor, or is it something that you recognize when you have a bit of perspective?
A: Looking back for sure. When I was doing it [His Dark Materials] I felt mature, but growing up is realizing just how young I was then. I think we all had the experience in school of thinking you’re so much more grown up with every school year you move up. I feel like I measure projects almost like I do with school years [laughs]. I always remember just how different my mindsets have been for each project. It’s kind of crazy because I’ve had so many different views on how to approach the work.
