“I feel like 'Amelie' is very much an extension of me. She's a contempo...” — Phillipa Soo Quote

I feel like 'Amelie' is very much an extension of me. She's a contemporary woman who sees the world through her imagination.

Doing a show eight times a week is kind of like doing yoga or tai chi. A vinyasa is the same every single time you do it, but depending on how you're feeling, it tells you a lot about what's happening in your life.

I'm definitely not as good as people who consider themselves beatboxers.

When I go into a theater, I'm very excited to turn off my phone. But then, of course, I get anxiety.

I relate to that idea of not necessarily seeking out 'interesting female roles,' but 'this character, this role, who happens to be a woman, is interesting to me, and I relate to it in some way, so I'm just gonna go with my gut and see where it leads me.'

Obviously I always wanted to do a contemporary piece.

A film like Genevieve to my contemporaries is not a film made years ago, but last week or last year. They see me as I was then, not as I am now.

All my films have raised questions on issues that are contemporary and relevant to our times.

The future is not so interesting for me because the future doesn't exist. I am really focused on the contemporary.

No philosopher understands his predecessors until he has re-thought their thought in his own contemporary terms.
