“I wasn’t prepared for the buzz
about my body – how hard I’d pumped up and worked out. All that seems to have overshadowed my acting
to some degree. Sure it was tough to do, but not once did I think, Oh this is
going to get me noticed. I did it because it was so much a part of Sarah’s
evolved character and my work process. There’s a lot more to her than the “Woman
with a Gun” subtext going on that’s been overlooked. Journalists seem eager to
talk about the scene in which I condemn men. Sarah does that because she’s
bitterly screwed up and meant to be unsympathetic. It’s not my personal
polemic.”
