Waller-Bridge's commentary, blending humor with nature's profundity, captures both the intelligence of octopuses and the challenge of understanding them without anthropomorphism.

I was beside Phoebe [Waller-Bridge] and Laura Dern had just won Best Supporting Actress [for Marriage Story] and we were standing up for Laura. I don't know if anyone has ever experienced having a kidney stone before, but it sends you, the pain is so immediate. As Laura was speaking, I was crawling out of the thing and by the time her speech was over I was ripping off the tux and I was in one of those rooms back there, writhing around with agony.

"If I could tell my teenage self this was happening I think she'd explode. Lara Croft means a lot to me, as she does to many, and I can't wait to go on this adventure. Bats 'n all."
