Anya Taylor-Joy Lands On The Cover Of Harper’s Bazaar UK “Women Of The Year 2022” Issue
Anya Taylor-Joy is on the cover of the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK. The young actress is one of five ladies featured on the cover to celebrate the outlet’s Women of the Year 2022. Highlights from her interview are below.
On how she approaches red carpet moments: “If I make it about myself, that’s when I start to panic, whereas if it’s an art form, it’s so much easier. I’m lucky enough to work with people who are as obsessively creative as I am, and we build whole narratives together. That makes it fun, because I’m an artist, and making art is all I want to do.”
On how her performance in The Witch paved the way for her career: “It gave me the cornerstones of the way I work now, which is essentially the idea that there is no hierarchy on set: you work hard, you stay on top of the shots and you don’t assume anyone else is going to do that for you. Your title doesn’t stop at actor – you’re a creative on this film, and that’s how you need to approach it.”
On the position she has now found herself in for roles: “Saying no is genuinely difficult for me, because I always want to do everything. But I’m lucky enough to be in a position where I can ask myself, do you feel passionate enough about this to spend seven months living all the way across the world, away from everyone you know and love? Will that sustain you? And if the answer’s yes, you should probably do it.”
