- You told me.
You did, you told me.
Told me so.
- [Interviewer] Congratulations Patricia.
- Thank you, thank you.
- [Interviewer] How does it feel, just following up Quentin
after True Romance and Alabama Worley, and all that stuff.
How full circle is it to be right here
walking on the stage right after him
at this moment? - I was thinking that.
I was like, "Wow,"
that was such a pivotal movie in my career
and I don't know if I would be here really today
if it wasn't for Alabama Worley.
He has a great body of work, but I also, I just...
I would put money down that
that will not be his last film (laughs).
(light applause)
Because how do you give up really?
He's still young.
When you fall in love with making movies,
there's nothing like it, so, I don't know.
I'd bet against that.
- [Interviewer] Back here, also, Patricia, congratulations.
"The Act" was just phenomenal.
- Thanks.
- [Interviewer] What did it take for you to get
into that mindset to play that role?
- Well I was always really fascinated by Munchausen by proxy
'cause it flies in the face of every instinct as a mom,
to protect your young.
But what I did find was, I found that even the experts,
when they were talking about that disorder,
it was very shallow, their interpretation.
And I found some research material
I did find really interesting.
It was a long video of a woman in prison,
her child had died, and as she's talking she seems
kind of normal and then you start to see
she goes in and out of kinda of (mumbles).
And so I realized, well I'm kind of on my own on this.
It's not enough what the experts say.
So I started to doing different research
in a different kind of way about narcissism
and toxic co-dependence and separation anxiety.
So that was really interesting,
but there were times before scenes
I'd have to say to Joey King, who was an incredible actress,
and played my daughter in it,
"I'm so sorry for the scene in advance,
"'cause this is so sad and terrible."
- [Interviewer] Hi Patricia, I'm Natasha from Germany.
- Hi.
- Congratulations on your award.
Very well deserved. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- [Interviewer] And I loved your speech.
- Thank you.
- [Interviewer] You talked about your daughter
and how important it is to, especially nowadays,
be strong and go through a tough time like that.
How do you talk to your daughter, especially nowadays,
what kind of advice do you give her to be strong
in an environment like that?
- I feel like my daughter is so much stronger
than I ever was, she was kinda born strong.
And I think I learned a lot about strength from her.
But I do see her negotiating this new world
and I think the world is changing
the relationships between men and women.
It's kind of been a conversation
that we have needed to have for thousands of years
and we're starting to have this conversation.
And I'm very hopeful 'cause I feel like it's gonna evolve us
as a species and then we'll be able to have
the most beautiful relationships between men and women.
So I'm excited about that, she's a young woman,
she's just starting into her romantic life.
And it's really interesting to hear
her perceptions of relationships.
- [Interviewer] Thank you, Patricia.
- Thank you.
- [Interviewer] Congratulations.
- I wanna just pass on some sad news.
My boyfriend Eric White is an artist,
and he just let me know that John Baldessari,
the amazing artist, just passed away.
So I wanna let you guys know that.
