'I had a boss moment the other day. I was doing a press conference and they keep asking me what it was like to be married, and I said, ''Being married is not my achievement'',' the actress recalled.

'''My achievement is producing this film and having a producing deal with a major studio — that is my achievement.'' And everyone shut up after that. It was really nice.'

Appearing on the cover of Variety alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Margot got candid in an accompanying interview.

'It's bittersweet living outside of Australia, because I miss everyone so much, but the fact that they are so removed from it helps me keep my life and my work separate — even though they are intrinsically linked, because all I want to do is work all the time,' she told Variety.

'But becoming famous at [Tonya's] age without a support network around her, and without a clear distinction, I think would have been incredibly difficult.'
