"In a lot of formats, you can be really experimental and see what would happen"
About this Quote
"Really experimental" is deliberately unspecific, which is part of its charm. It's a phrase that can mean narrative structure, tone, genre-blending, performance style, or even the logistics of production. Actors rarely control the script, but they do control their instrument; the quote subtly claims agency inside systems that usually treat performers as interchangeable parts. The casual "see what would happen" lands as both curiosity and self-protection. It's playful, but it also lowers the stakes: experimentation isn't a moral crusade, it's a lab test. If it works, great; if it doesn't, the format itself absorbs the failure.
The subtext is an industry reality: the "experimental" is often a function of budget. Smaller canvases invite weirdness because fewer people are on the hook. Moreau's line catches a cultural moment where creative freedom isn't bestowed from above; it's discovered in the cracks of an expanding media ecosystem.
