Last night a new fire broke out in Los Angeles, and I was on alert all night because it wasn’t that far from us. I’m feeling some deep humility on many, many levels,” she told Variety. “I’m so grateful for the recognition. But it’s not just for me, it’s also about what The Substance represents.

There were certain parallels with this film and Ghost. My youngest child and her fiancé, just this past week, said they’d never seen Ghost and needed to watch it. I couldn’t do it, but they got me to watch the second half. I haven’t seen that film in maybe 30 years. But Ghost defied the norm by mixing genres. It had real heart and comedy, but it expanded toward a new way of thinking about loss. It’s been a very interesting journey.”
