Well I definitely read [reviews]. Not all of them, obviously, because at a certain point it stops being beneficial I think. But definitely I try to get an overview of what the general feedback is, you know it’s good to know how you are being perceived. I try to take it with a grain of salt, because I think if you let it get to you too much it can kind of start infringing on your work the next time. And it stops being helpful and becomes more of a hindrance. I don’t ever want to become too self-conscious on set otherwise I think that’s when you stop taking risks, and when you stop taking risks you will be doing really boring performances.

Once I did “Wolf of Wall Street,” I was definitely receiving specific roles that were all really similar to what I had done in that movie, which was odd to me because I’m nothing like that character. I remember saying to my team, “We can’t take any of these roles, otherwise I’m going to play the wife or girlfriend my whole life.” I don’t want to pick up a script where I want to play the guy character instead of the female character I’m being offered.

[Cara] is a rare gem in this world and I’ve just never met anyone like her. She is the most genuine person you can ever meet and there’s nothing calculated about that girl. She’s like a little comet just blasting her way through this world.

Honestly, this keeps me up at night, this very question [of feeling like she’s hit her career peak]. I feel like I have peaked and maybe it’s all downhill from here. Maybe I’m at the top and it can’t get any better. I hope that’s not the case because I still feel like I have a lot to give and there are still a lot of directors I want to work with. And, you know, I’m just going to keep climbing as long as I can.
