Queen's Gambit actress Anya Taylor-Joy, recently spoke to Tatler Magazine about her experiences with the media, managing being a mid-twenties girl and a career actress, and more. When asked how she deals with paparazzi attention, Anya said, “There are times when you’re just one person facing off against 20 and that’s just physically not safe. It can be very frightening when there are whole bunches of men with cameras attached to their faces running after you down the street.”

Anya then remembered a previous incident, exposing her approach to photographers, stating, "I walked out and said, 'Hello, my name is Anya.'" Let's take the camera down and get to know each other.' I am not a prey animal. I'm not in the mood to flee. ‘I realize this is your job, and I hope you can understand that I am a lady of a particular size who is now feeling intimidated, so can we make it work so you can do your job and I can feel less frightened?'

When talking about how she manages to be a mid-twenties woman and be an extremely busy working girl at the same time, Anya said: “I don’t have time to be a 25-year-old with a hangover. But I’m not someone who needs a drink to dance. Basically, I’ve become very efficient at everything. I’m like ‘What do I need out of this situation? I need to dance for a couple of hours, see my friends and have a good time’, so I’m like ‘Right, let’s bang it out.’ Then it’s: go home, have a bath, get up for work. I sound mental, but that’s what’s working for me right now.”
