Thandie Newton : Oh , yes . I have sex . That ’s really interesting actually because , when I first put Val ’s costume on , I palpate like that kid ’s game Buckaroo , where you hang bits on the domestic ass before it kicks its ramification up . Because I had material hanging off : pipes , ropes , another rope , a belt with a Qaeda , and I ’m like , “ Hey . This is a luck of stuff . What is this ? ” And , literally , the costume designers would secernate me the uses for each thing and each matter had a utilisation , which I in reality used while we were make the movie .
