“Oh, Oliver Twist, it's right here. Is it the David Lean one? I think I probably saw when I was like six or seven and like that image of the mom climbing up the mountain and like there's wind and rain and it's really graphic and she's about to give Birth and she goes up to these iron gates and I just remember really, really connecting with that imagery. Every moment of that opening of that film is like forever ingrained in my head.”
