Having played Lila for a while now, what acting challenges are you looking for in the character, or in other roles?
I think one of the reasons I love acting is being able to play different types of people and different characters.
I've been very fortunate in that I've played very diverse types of people and I've done comedy, I've done drama, I've done action. I've played the bad girl, the good girl, I love being able to change around and play different parts, I've played Jackie Kennedy and, you know...
Tell us about that.
She was an American icon. I've been told I look like her since I was 16, so you already have an affinity towards a person that you were always told you looked like, and I knew so much about her prior to playing the role that for me, I was excited.
How many people get to play an American icon? I just really wanted to play her as honestly as possible. I worked very hard on her accent, because she had a very specific accent, with three different layers where it would almost sound like she came from three different places, all layered on top of each other.
