Director Lanthimos once shared about the violent "hot" scene in Poor Things : "Emma Stone devoted herself to the hot scene in the film. I did not want to make a prudish film.

She gave her all to the scene and she grasped everything clearly."

In a 2015 interview with actor Eddie Redmayne, she said: "When I was 14, I gave my parents a PowerPoint presentation, telling them all the reasons why I should be an actor and asking them to let me move to Los Angeles. Since I was 7, I just wanted to pursue acting."
