Defining oneself and Artistry
At the time of speaking, Fonda emphasized that she does not prefer to be “restricted” by external views.
“Almost daily, unforeseen events arise, compelling you to shift direction.
I continually encounter individuals around me who evoke emotions,” Bridget added in her interview. “I encounter the simplest things eliciting strong responses.
Last evening, I witnessed a night watchman engaging with a cat, yet he remained expressionless, which found distressing. Additionally, I resist constraints on defining myself because I desire to experience a sense of boundlessness beyond what I can meaningfully articulate.”
She went on to explain, “I possess a dislike for posing for still photographs. I detest them. At that moment, one is captured and confined. However, I do not mind in the context of film because you remain in motion.”
You present multiple facets of yourself—casting glances in countless directions, presenting a myriad of variables. Thus, I do not mind, as it retains an abundance of mystery.”
