These days, youre lucky to get even 20 minutes withFlorence Pugh.
That, my dear, is an understatement.
But then thats Ari.

Its scary, its sensitive, and we made it through.
It was exhausting as well, because you have to find ways of tapping into that.
The best thing for me to do was imagine the worst thing happening to your sister.

He has the whole [film] in his head, she says.
In other words, this wasnt necessarily one of those sets where improvisation was encouraged.
It was actually fear that guided her role selection.

I remember being totally terrified byLady Macbeth.
[The feeling that] Im going to expose myself in a certain way because its terrifying.
In that sense, you have to do it.
That made her first post-Midsommarrole a welcome relief in more ways than one.
We still didnt know if I could get out [ofMidsommar] in time, Pugh notes.
I think I probably wouldve had a tricky time adjusting, Pugh says.
Also, just the emotional distress of [Danis story].
That was a really tough and horrible content to do.
I didnt need to do anything else.
When Pugh was younger, she couldnt poo poo all the comparisons she received to Kate Winslet.
Again, Pugh reminds us that when it comes to that Marvel movie, I cant talk about anything.
In a broader sense, she agrees her filmography continues to grow with totally different parts.
They are all such different beasts and they all mean different things and thats so wicked, she says.
Its nice to test out other worlds that Im not used to.
And I think thats probably why we end up jumping from different things.
Echoing her career mantra, she adds, Its exciting to feel scared and to not know.
Midsommaropens in theaters on Wednesday.
