“It’s all instinctual and I knew it when I met her,” Cooper said. “When I met her I felt like she was so soulful and deep and open and warm and caring and I thought, ‘God if I just could capture what I am seeing right now talking to her [then] we’re going to be okay’.”
He added that her work ethic contributed to her success at playing the role.
“She’s somebody who works so hard and is dedicated. You know, she is very busy and she gave it all up for this movie. Her willingness to put all that work in, I hope she feels paid off because I do.”
