Lets talk about the Joker a little bit. Were you scared to take on the Joker?
I was boththe Joker was an intense and incredible experience. I mean, playing the part was I think probably the most fun Ive ever had making a film.
You were, um, lets just say you were extreme on set with people.
I had a lot of fun, but it wasnt as extreme as the media made it out to be. And I know some of the stories were just kind of goofy and weird, so it was titillating. That stuff has a tendency to go viral or something. But it really wasnt like that for us on set. I mean, it was a kind of scary prospect to take on a role that had been portrayed so well by such a phenomenal actor in Heath Ledger. But it also was an opportunity and something that, as challenging as it seemed, was quite an honor to be asked to take the baton and run with it. And, you know, filmmakings a collaborative process and we all did what we had to do to try to bring these crazy characters to life. But we had a lot of fun. I mean, nobody was taking it too serious on that set, you know. We all were laughing a lot and we had a good time.
