“When I was asked to come back to play this character, one of my conditions was — although I have to admit that if they had said no, I would have done it anyway… But pretending that I had a condition was, I begged, can you guys let me do this practically? I don’t want to wear the dots. I want to have the device. I wanted to feel the weight of it; I wanted to look in the mirror and see myself that way, and I wanted the actors on set who I was interacting with to see me that way. That makes it even more profound.”
