Actress Annette Bening on her new role as famed swimmer Diana Nyad

Annette Bening:
I didn't really think about it, but that is sort of a good thing, because that's how you end up plunging into things that are shocking and new and different, and you learn and you grow and you have a new challenge. And I don't regret it at all. It's the opposite.
But I did then pause and, wait a minute, I'm in a bathing suit, and I'm swimming, and I am 60 — whatever I was at the time, 61, 62. And, wait, can I do this? Can I pull this off? And how's that going to work? So then I got into the business of trying to figure that out.
