Carey Mulligan on how the role changed when she came on board…
“You’ll hear these stories from all the actors who worked on the film. Nic would invite you around to his house, you’d meet him and he’d ask you a series of questions and basically use that to formulate what he thought the character was. I went in and I wanted the job so badly I just started saying anything that came to mind. I had all these ideas that didn’t make any sense. I was trying to make him cast me and make [the character] fit me, but she has an eight-year-old son!”
