“Yeah, a little. Maybe. I think so,” she replied at the time. “… I mean, I was Josh Safdie’s ‘muse’ when he wroteUncut Gems. Do you know what I mean? Things like that. I think people make it seem a little more dramatic than it is.”

“Josh always thought of me as a star, and I think he wanted to be the one to discover me and put me on the map,” shetoldInterviewmagazine in 2019, adding, “There was just no way someone could play that part better than me. I knew I would literally kill this movie.”
Fox added at the time, “I really love to be the director, the person in charge, making my fantasy come to life. But if I love someone else’s fantasy, I’ll definitely help them bring theirs to life too.”
She toldRolling Stoneat the time too that Josh was “just totally fixated” on her and she had to make a case for casting since the studio wanted a known actress for the part.

“Essentially I was nobody in this world, in Hollywood. So they really had to fight for me, and then I, obviously, had to fight for it as well,” she said, adding of a chemistry test with Sandler, “We just totally clicked onscreen and the studio couldn’t deny it. But I mean, 300 people auditioned for it. I guess that Josh Safdie was right.”
