Chess isn’t always competitive. Chess can also be… beautiful. It was the board I noticed first. It’s an entire world of just 64 squares. I feel safe in it. I can control it. I can dominate it. And it’s predictable, so if I get hurt, I only have myself to blame.

Talk to me about that — the unintentionality of Stede’s seduction and leading with that from a writing perspective. (…) I think “do you fancy a fine fabric” is unintentional, but it’s when he tucks the fabric into Blackbeard’s shirt and tells him that he wears fine things well that makes it work. That’s such a kind thing to say and such a perceptive thing for him to say in that moment, and sometimes you meet somebody and you can just see them like that.

Tom is talented. Tom is tender. Tom is beautiful. Tom is…a mystery. Tom is not a nobody. Tom has secrets he doesn’t want to tell me, and I wish he would. Tom has nightmares. That’s not a good thing. Tom has someone to love him. That is a good thing. Tom is crushing me.

“When I was younger, my grandparents would let me watch their old movies, and I related to the subtle nuances of the female characters. Not much needed to be said; a lot was inferred between the lines. When things got bigger for me and my career, I always assumed that just by me speaking and being myself, people would know who I was inherently. I learned that was not true. You had to really spell things out, and that was very hard for me.”

THE SECRET SYMBOLISM OF CLEMENTINE’S HAIR
Green Revolution: Seems to represent the beginning or birth of the relationship. It’s a springtime color. It could represent a revolution, a significant change in Joel’s life. Not only that, but it could also refer to a revolution as a cycle, hinting at the repetitive nature of Joel and Clem’s relationship.
Red in Love: Red is the color of fire and blood, associated with energy, strength, passion, and desire. It is also symbolic of warning and danger. Joel and Clementine fell for each other hard, and their infatuation was instant and powerful.
Agent Orange: the redness of her hair fades to an orange—then, to a muddy orange, grown out again, with increased messiness. It’s during the orange phase that the problems between the two emerge. The era of red passion has passed, and the fervor has died down.
Blue Ruin: It’s a fresh beginning of sorts, a blank slate. At least that’s the happy interpretation of it. Clementine’s hair is blue when she experiences her most intense moment of identity loss, when her mental state is seriously in ruins.
