program welcome thank you I didn't know that you lived in New York I just like the part started rolling I was trying to I was trying to tell him how I don't have friends here and thank you did you love the role of Lisa once you read that did you look at that he'd say I had it's obviously a dream for an actress to have just so much to work with but I've never played a character I didn't it's tough because she's like the bat she's she's probably the bad person or the person that should be yeah corral but I didn't feel she was in many ways I felt for her and I liked which I've never been able to play somebody I didn't feel was redeemable somehow and I had read the book like five years ago and I picked it up after I read the script and I underlined everything reason I was obsessed with it with her brutal honesty and her just need to to live and you know so yeah I got a funny tattoo that I got right after right after at least that my mom came with me thanks mom this is what it's terrible is it not yes but but this one was with mom so is just the greatest thing in the world but it was a prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages Miss Tennessee why it's a what's this it's an H right my brother's middle name is Haven and they're what sex and all like that yeah then why do you why do you notice I don't have many on places you can see most of them are on the areas that you know can't do nude scenes but but uh it's just just a few that are just reminders you know like these like Lisa it was really personal to me it was hard one time ago I I so had to let you go no I'm sorry so hard to let GA goes hardly Lisa got hard to let you go he's heard a lot of them go cuz they were kind of there became friends of mine and they were parts of me and and I thought a long time ago that was kind of exercising parts of me just getting rid of them and working through them and growing up and and I realized that I'm gonna keep them and they're all a part of me and it's made me really happy and I was I just I was missing Reece I thinking and then having this somehow with my mom and having this moment then I'll always remember with her kind of picking out and talking to the other feet she was gonna tattoo brother offering everybody drinks it seemed she should go get any sandwich you're close to her have an influence on you doing what you do or not yeah she she stayed at Strasbourg my parents my mom got married met my dad he's just for 20 and she was so they had children when they separated 25 and so she she was my dad it was great he you know they they had an agreement that really he wanted her to be a mom which is like not given enough credit for gonna be hard yeah and and that's you know she's she's done with mice raised me my brother and my dad's I always been there I was bad never never not in my life but because he was an actor he had to be away yeah so and so she and she tried to study after we were little kids but and why always want to be an actress but never had the career cuz she was raising us but she raised me in that kind of really freeway where she she'd always she used to have this thing when I'd cry and she'd say let me see her soul I used to love this I have this kind of whenever I'm sad I'm reaching out to everybody good see I mean you know what are you saying what are you thinking what are you buddy feeling but his being an actress been almost therapeutic then and cathartic for you yeah I mean I can invest you can both find parts of yourself through giving expression I had I had done The Bone Collector before before before Girl Interrupted and and she's she's so kind of reserved and she's so from the heart she's somebody I admire I mean they have my character but she wasn't free and she was obviously going after these people that had maybe these impulses or were senators or the bad people and and she didn't know how to make people laugh to never since humor about herself and and then I broke out with able to breathe with Lisa who and sociopaths usually become serial killers that's justice and he was so odd to discover that because I had jumped into the thing I was hunting for three months and this two completely opposite side but wait I don't see the the the other character the cop right first plane was hunting a killer right and so so Lisa was was this other / was the exact opposite and and I so much was I was questioned so much my life about things and you know what I was capable of and and Amelia allowed me to believe I was capable of things and I understood what love was with her and Lisa I hadn't I don't have many friends and I mean girlfriends I'm just it's under saying the world was a human being don't have any girlfriends well I don't I'm not really one place enough time to be kind of a really great great friend I think I mean I'm a great friend to obviously I have a few great everybody I'd like to be friends of everybody so but Lisa just she she's just energy this fire and there are a few people that obviously are turned off by her and very you know but there are a few people that brought to me and said I think you know she she just had this you know they there's a fire that that I like to see in people and I like to encourage it so I don't judge people so I don't think they judge me saying this freedom of I think we're all a little crazy will you make fool or thought we all I'm not very judgmental even though just make sure it is completely exactly this notion of warning it did it then come to you or did you go after this role of Lisa having read the book you went after you personally are those people that work for us people yeah that one person who's out there yeah did you did you pick up the phone and say to Manono or whoever else might be no I actually I didn't call from Winona about a year before I think when she was thinking of it before I done I think she she told me that she was happy when Jake came up because she was happy that she had that I could get in that door and fight and kind of you know cuz she was thinking about me for it but I got a call one time ago from when I arrived that's this thing and I thought it was a prank call I was so sure and that somebody has got me I was like I know I'm not sure and then I called her and I didn't know what you know but I didn't know you know she's in the process of it and she did she was telling me she really couldn't be there so she was gonna step back and let the director and the producers really pick the actress in the cheek you know couldn't couldn't really this I would say was too but she obviously liked me and other people and I was gonna let them let it happen and you know she was really wonderful with me i I I had an audition and and I met with the director and then I went in and I yeah I read my little scenes and came in and after begging them you kind of run in the door again let me try and let me give it I'm trying to do is anything as we should say about Lisa
