If I have to kiss someone on-screen, we need to have a secret handshake, something only the two of us know. So if we have to reconnect in a later scene, we can just do the handshake to reestablish a sense of intimacy. That’s one of the few things I’m good at— handshakes.

“What I’m doing is making sure that I have a balance, and that allows me, I think, to be a better actor and to more easily and quickly access all of the emotions on the scale. I make sure that I read a book on the weekend or read something or do my knitting or do the things that I need to do for myself, like ‘Game of Thrones.’ Get that balance.” - Krysten Ritter photographed by Luc-Richard Elie [ x ]
