That slight psychosis?

That slight psychosis. Not too much, but a little.

Just a little bit. Just like a little touch of crazy.

You need a little bit of psychosis, babe.

Yeah, just a little touch of cray.

I see those as two different things.

She's the better assassin.

I'm a better assassin and you're a better action hero.

Yeah. I'm just thinking about the action figures.

I love how we immediately like got into that.

Yes. She's got assassin vibes to her.

And for stealth, like c'est moi. For brawn, c'est toi.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Oh, I guess it really would just come down

to who's the most hydrated,

because I don't see it...

If it's like a competition- I don't see us giving up.

I see us really just giving it everything we can

until we, you know, die.

He's not wrong. Yeah, to the death.

Dance to the death. To the death. [laughs]

Anya will not respond to texts for like...

I literally had one in my phone the other day.

I asked her, I'm like,

Hey, you know, just checking how you're doing.

It was like a month later. She's like, Oh, I'm good.

I go, Well, were you good a month ago?

Because that's when I texted you.

Here's the thing. I'm just bad with my phone.

I'm an in-person person.

Like, if you are in front of me, I give you...

If you are in front of me, I give you 110%,

and I'm just not that good.

But I'm always thinking of you.

I'm always thinking of you and I'm always thinking of Kelly.

Oh my gosh.

I think just her ability to compartmentalize.

I mean, I think Anya's...

Because we're friends coming into this,

but when you're on set

and you're really going through this experience together

14 hours a day for five months,

you really get to know someone if they're open to it,

and so Anya and I's relationship

really just kind of deepened a lot through this process.

And I'm just always fascinated how she can go

from talking about something, you know, arbitrary

to then, as soon as the camera's on,

her just eyes like reshift

and she's completely that character.

So I loved watching that process.

That slight psychosis?

That slight psychosis. Not too much, but a little.

Just a little bit. Just like a little touch of crazy.

You need a little bit of psychosis, babe.

Yeah, just a little touch of cray.

It depends if he's being silly or not.

If he's being silly, then he might do like Whitney Houston

or like really go all out.

But if you're being like serious,

it's either like a country song or like Johnny Cash.

It's kind of a trick question

because I do play instruments

and I like kind of playing and singing in small groups,

but I hate karaoke.

Yeah. I truly hate karaoke.

Yeah. I can understand.

I have no desire really. I just don't...

I mean, I get it, but- Which is weird.

But like, don't you think it checks out

that we would both be into it?

And I feel the exact same way.

Like, I have no desire to do that.

In Korea, I enjoyed karaoke over there.

I think that's very specific.

No, but karaoke's like a big part of the culture there.

Yeah. I may sing in Korea.

Yeah. I may sing. [laughs]

I think Cate Blanchett

could perform the hell out of anyone

and I think that would be...

I think you would be happy with that.

Oh my God. What, she'd play Bob Dylan and me?

Yeah. Like, yeah. Amazing.

Quite the range. Nice answer.
