“I got sick.
I think my whole body was very, very sick.
Even though you keep on working, right?”
“It’s just like, ‘Oh, I can’t sleep.
Oh, my back hurts.
I don’t know what’s wrong with my skin,'” she said.
“I learned that I had to take care of my health first.”
“That’s not only your body, right?
That is your soul.
That is definitely your mind,” she said.
“Because you’ve got the option to’t ultimately depend on anyone else.
You have to somehow find it within yourself.”
“Acting is draining work”, Oh said, and she’s found her own outlet for that.
“I have to spend with my creative self.
“Because I realize that part sustains all thealmost the immediacy, the ability to be present.”
These lessons were important when Oh took the lead role inAMC’sKilling Eve, which premiered in 2018.
It is a piece about the female psyche,” she said.
“And within that: How does one actually authentically grow and widen yourself as a woman?”
“I felt like what I laid down was real, at least hopefully.”
