They’re okay with it. It’s not being underlined, or underscored, or an in-your-face kind of statement. It’s kind of an internal evolution of a person. So it’s at that level.”

She is connected to everybody and she still prioritizes her own self. There’s nothing wrong with that. She’s 76 now, in the film. So now she wants to be free, basically.”
