There's nothing scarier than just having a moment where you looked away and lost your child.

I do feel there is a very rabid young base for 'Black Mirror' that will very much identify with the daughter character because of the invasiveness they feel with their parents trying to control their moves on social media.

I'm not on any social media; I don't even know what things are. I'm so behind the times.

I know that every actor that I know, when Daniel Day-Lewis does a film, and he doesn't work that often, but we run to the theater to see what he's up to, and with such delicious excitement. The same goes for Meryl Streep.

I think what's so brilliant about 'Black Mirror' is that it is a mirror into our own messed-up psyches.
