In terms of the characters, I definitely do look for somebody that I think people can learn from and I can learn from too. In one way or another, by the fact that they are a role or by that fact that they aren't a role model. I feel like I was attracted to the past few characters that I've played, because they have an element that really touched my heart.
I always think I could do better. I always think that something could be more perfect, but I think that that's just within my nature. I think I want to please a director, I want to give my everything and find every which way I could have burrowed further into a character.
I feel like I've come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.
It is very grand and sumptuous and awesome to look at but it was really about the characters for me.
