sallyhwkins:The one scene where she’s telling me why she has to free this creature, we rehearsed it forever. We rehearsed it day and night, day and night, because she wanted to practice sign, and I wanted to understand what she was saying so I didn’t get ahead of her or behind her. And when we shot it, it was nothing like we rehearsed, which is the best thing. She actually hit me, which we had never done, and it happened because I said [to myself], “I’m gonna look at my watch halfway through this,” and so I looked at my watch and she–wham! hit me–and I said, “You hit me!” You know, but that’s the take he [Guillermo] used. - Richard Jenkins -- source link
