I think our similarities are the straight shooting-ness of her mannerisms. I go straight for the truth and the jugular of it all. And I like to see the grand scheme of things over everything else. What I’ve learned from playing this character is your independence is also your weakness as much as your strength. Because sometimes the most powerful person also needs someone else to balance that out.
There are some actors who wouldn’t want to do a long Broadway run. What are some things you’re saying no to? It is weird to hear that back because that’s more of a rational statement. And I’ll have to talk to my therapist about it, so thank you. I’m not anti-tears. I just remember I was doing the‘If I Were A Boy’ scene . There was one take that I literally could not stop crying. We had to like stop because I personalized it too much. And I personalize everything. I think that’s my favorite thing about acting: I know how to make it about me.
