No matter how sexual this character is and how comfortable she is with her sexuality, we obviously knew that we couldn't go as far with the outfits as Peter had designed for her. We still tried to stay true to that element and the knowledge that she's very independent and very comfortable within her skin. She's not shy. She's a very strong person. When you play with those elements of sexuality, it makes it really fun.
we were concerned we were going to sound too broad, and maybe get laughs in the wrong way. We tried to fine-tune it a little, staying kind of neutral. Part of the transformation in any character is a new way of speaking. Also the physical look. Once again I worked with Toni G, who did my makeup for 'Monster.'
I was very scared going in, but also really excited about doing a film using my body again. I like that she never spoke. This character, she was very quiet, but she was telling her story through her body. It's a very physical role.
I guess because I pay so much attention to the physical part of the character, I don't look upon it as like Charlize Theron up there. I don't think of them as like Charlize Theron films.
When you're playing with aspects of sexuality, certain things have to be hidden. That's what my mother always used to tell me. I wanted to stay as true as possible to the original character, but didn't feel the need to go as far with the costume.
