You start to see her frustration and determination at the same time.
And shes a woman.
It tests her to have to bend some rules, kind of.
She doesnt really want to at first.
That statistic about disappearances among Native American women is so chilling and yet its something people dont know about.

Thats the problem with our culture.
I dont know what a reservation life is like.
I dont know if they go to school.
Do you have a school system?
Do you guys go to college?
I didnt know anything.

So if she were in a conversation, shes thinking about how shes coming across from this perspective.
She means well, but she does become a parody of herself and she can poke fun at it.
And then there are people who are just completely delusional, so you just try and figure out … Im grateful that the writers are writing me things to do, because they dont have to.
This time it has a lot to do with working with Paul Bettany and the Vision and their relationship.
Thats a new, fun arc were exploring.
Were filming two, so weve almost finished one of them.
Theyre on a hiatus right now.
I cant say that.
Wind River is out in theaters this Friday (August 4).
