Someone said to me, ‘Would you like to play a Bond girl one day?’ I was like, ‘Hell no. I’d rather play Bond.’ So, when someone said, ‘Do you want to be the Doctor’s companion?’ I was like, ‘No, I want to be the Doctor.’

When David [Gordon Green] and I sat down, I said to him, ‘What do you think happened to Laurie [Strode], November 1, 1978?’ I think she went to school the next day. I think she was told, ‘Baby, you’re okay, you have a cut on your arm, [here’s] a bandage.’ And she went from being Laurie Strode, dreaming, idealized human being with her future in front of her — she would’ve gone to Brown, maybe majored in philosophy, gotten her doctorate — to a freak, which is what trauma and shame attaches to. When she walked down the hall of that school, all that happened were people going, ‘Oh my God, there’s Laurie Strode!’
