Part of growing up for me has been realizing that being the only female in a cast is no longer the coolest thing. It’s lonely. I used to love it because I thought, ‘Ooh, I got in!

It’s not only using your mind, it’s like making your mind communicate this character into your body so that you can bring it to life and physicalize it.”
