'We're Going to Die and Make Serious Mistakes': Colin Farrell and ... (Variety)

Colin Farrell and Jamie Lee Curtis join forces to discuss their acting legacies and years-long sobriety.

And then what happens to them at the end of the day when they go home and they sit alone in their apartment? Curtis: And that’s the gift sobriety gives you, is that the rules apply to you just like they apply to other people. Farrell: I did it in a film. Farrell: I do the work myself. Farrell: But then, ultimately, the strain that was heard at the end was one of simplicity, one of redemption, one of forgiveness. Because the only two things I know as certainties are, we’re going to die and we’re going to make serious mistakes. Farrell: I did boarding school for a year and a half. But I had no ability to hold that without being self-destructive and without living in it. I did this work in the movie with the Daniels. And then a lot of focus on other parts of us at times. But when I go home, it makes sense to me in a way that no other place would have the business making sense to me. If I’m in Los Angeles and I say, “I’m going home,” I drop it about two octaves.

Colin Farrell reflected on the plot of "Everything Everywhere All at Once" in his conversation with Curtis, noting he thought the scene that depicted Evelyn and her daughter as rocks "was one of the best-written and performed scenes."
