“At our core, we are very similar. And I think from the second I met [Beth], it was a weird pain. It was a pain of, ‘Oh God, this hurts so good. And it hurts so good because I know it’s true. And what you need to learn, I need to learn.’” - Golden Globe winner Anya Taylor-Joy talking about herself and her character Beth Harmon (The Queen’s Gambit).

“One of my favorite things about her [Beth] was because she was raised in this interesting way, she never really saw her gender as something that told her what she could or couldn’t want. And I really enjoyed playing that, especially in the context of the ‘60s. So I think more than playing a strong woman, I feel very honored to have played such an interesting, complex person. And I’m very proud of that. [...] I’m just so grateful that people connected to this story and connected with that as much as they did because she means so much to me. Whenever you do a project, it kind of feels like you’re throwing your baby out of a window and when people catch it, that’s just the best feeling in the world.” - Golden Globe winner Anya Taylor-Joy talking about her character Beth Harmon and The Queen’s Gambit.
