as part of its Heroes Issue, Anya shared how getting into character helped tap into her own “female rage”, which impacted her personally.“For all my championing of female rage, I’ve never been an angry person,” she explained. “For a long time the only time I ever got angry was on other people’s behalfs. I’ve always internalised this thing of ‘I’ve done something wrong. If you treat me badly, it’s because I am the problem’.
She continued: “I’m so grateful for Furiosa, because there was a real moment where I started getting angry for myself. “My husband was like ‘I’ve never heard you be like this.’ I was like, ‘I’m glad! I’m glad that I’m angry!’ If someone steps on me now, I’m like, ‘Hey, fuck you!’ That makes me feel good.”“I’ve never been more alone than making that movie,” she claimed, admitting: “I don’t want to go too deep into it, but everything that I thought was going to be easy was hard.
