"Envisioning the thrill of unleashing icy blasts from my fingertips fills me with childlike glee," Taylor-Joy enthused to Vogue Hong Kong. "Moreover, imagine being the undisputed star at every youngster's birthday bash. With my siblings now blessed with children of their own, the thought of them proudly boasting, 'My auntie is Elsa,' sends shivers of joy down my spine."

Diving deeper into her artistic yearnings, she confessed, "A musical stage beckons me, fueled by my insatiable appetite for arduous endeavors. The prospect of simultaneously singing, dancing, and acting—a seemingly insurmountable peak to conquer—excites me beyond measure."

Taylor-Joy's formative years as a ballet dancer serve as a testament to her indomitable spirit. Reflecting on this cherished past, she elaborated, "My dance background has served as a pillar, supporting every aspect of my life. It's not merely about the rigorous discipline it imparts; it's about the early mornings spent practicing, the relentless dedication from age 3 to 15. I perceive acting as a harmonious symphony, where I almost hear the script as a melody. This musicality is invaluable when choreographing stunts, as I dance in sync with my fellow performers, attuned to their rhythms to ensure everyone's safety."

Furthermore, she credits her dance training for empowering her to perform her own stunts in 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.' "I embraced every opportunity to execute those stunts with utmost precision, for they embody a meticulous perfectionism rarely encountered in life. The satisfaction of achieving something not just right, but perfectly right, was pure bliss."
