The actress thought to herself after her acting in ‘The Witch’ that she will never act again. The star was very upset at her performance. She also said that she did not know how to communicate even though she is quite talkative. So, she just cried her heart out:
And I’m quite verbose. I like to talk. I like to communicate but I did not talk. and I just cried. Just couldn’t handle seeing my face that large.
