“When I directed my first feature (in 2015, Ithaca), I felt that I hadn't enjoyed some parts of directing. Do you know what a director is? An expert in micromanagement. And as my role in What remains after, You are so tired, almost always lying on the seats at the airport, fed up with the delays of your flight, and in the background of your life, when 'action' was heard, my relaxation came. Over time, you understand that directing has to do with power and knowing how to manage the flow of events.“, says the actress to The country and remembers a phrase from his colleague Hugh Grant: “He said that maintaining the tone of a comedy is as difficult as keeping a balloon in the air with sharp pencils.”

Good, because I explained to them that I wanted to be the owner of my time and, deep down, face life with my artistic spirit.”
Versus Hollywood: “I was always a little punk”
Meg Ryan says she played a character the industry doesn't expect for her. The feminist film raw It was not well received at that time and the actress spoke about it. “Hollywood was not prepared for a movie like that, but above all not to see me in it. I think what they didn't want was to see me there. But she didn't care exactly the same to me. I think I was always a bit of a punk. I loved making that film, meeting Jane Campion. I especially liked that the character was not at all the archetype that everyone had about me. I broke that archetype. I remember that many people warned me and told me that this change would still have to be explained. My publicist told me this, for example. Maybe it was true. Maybe we need to do a promotion about it, especially in my case. But I needed to move forward and make a film like that,” she responded to Cadena SER.

I just feel like as an artist you have to change. “You can't go around saying the same thing over and over again.”
