“I have this crazy idea, because I love fire… I don’t know what television and pyrotechnics have to say about this fire motif, a bit like in ‘The Hunger Games’. There is a scene where the main character turns around and suddenly her dress catches fire. If I were both a tower and a dress at the same time and it burned down, I think it would be cool” – she said.
