She asked me if he would encourage me to direct and I said: ‘Yes, go!’ They are one of those things that instinct tells you, I don’t know what it is, obviously the moment struck me and I said can I?, but something told me ‘yes, go’ and well here we are. I’ve been getting into it ever since, even after that I was shooting Barbie and half my brain (was) on Pedro Páramo. It has been an interesting journey”
