Carey Mulligan covers the May issue of Vogue in which she talks about her character, Baz Luhrmann in the upcoming remake of The Great Gatsby opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.
She tells the mag:
“‘I seem always curiously interested in myself, and it’s so much fun to stand off and look at me. . . .’ That’s a direct Zelda quote. It’s that kind of feeling: I’m-so-little-and-there’s-nothing-to-me, watch-me-have-nothing-to-me. She feels like she’s living in a movie of her own life.”
She continues, “She’s constantly on show, performing all the time. Nothing bad can happen in a dream. You can’t die in a dream. She’s in her own TV show. She’s like a Kardashian.”
But that is not her real-life saying:
“I once put my hand on my hip on the red carpet and regretted it instantly.”
As for the critics of the film, she's well ready for that.
“I’m fully prepared to be completely ripped apart. Well, I’m not prepared; that’s the thing. I don’t want to be torn apart,” says Mulligan.
“We’ve all just tried something; we had fun, and we tried to do something interesting and exciting, something that people could connect with.”
The May issue of Vogue hits newsstands April 23.
