Q) What are the recent projects that you are working on?

 

A) I have the films Inconceivable and Tragedy Girls coming out.

 

Q) Please tell us about the premise for Inconceivable and about your character Katie. 

 

A) Katie was an egg donor in her 20s and when she is told that she has become sterile she goes after the families who bought her eggs. I don’t think she sets out with bad intentions, but when she doesn’t agree with how her “children” are being raised she has a scary way of dealing with it.

 

Q) What made you want to be a part of the film?

 

A) Nick [Cage] originally sent me the script and said this could be a great role for me. It was something very different for me and I love that it was a female driven-cast.

 

Q) What did you find challenging about your role?

 

A) To play dark and twisted every day is heavy. I’m used to comedy!

 

Q) Where did you connect with your character at all?

 

A) Having no children of my own in real life it was a little challenging. Rationalizing my behavior as Katie was also difficult.

 

Q) The film features iconic actors Nicholas Cage and Faye Dunaway. Was there anything you took away from working with them?

 

A) They are all pros and they elevated my performance every time I was on set. They all have their own way of working and they come together amazingly. Gina [Gershon] holds great strength and is so wonderful. Nick, who I have worked with before, is really magical to watch. I’ve always loved Nick Cage movies – he’s an incredible person to work with.

 

Q) What were some of your most memorable moments from filming Inconceivable?

 

A) It would probably be getting to meet and work with [Natalie] Eva Marie. She was such an angel and I really respect the world she comes from. I also loved Gina, she’s my kind of girl. The kids were also so sweet and we really had some fun moments considering the vibe of the storyline.

 

Q) What do you think it is about this movie that will make viewers want see the film?

 

A) It’s a thriller and I think people are always curious to see these kinds of movies. I hope they love the cast and want to see it. It’s female-driven and I hope we get a huge female audience.

 

Q) Who is someone you’d most like to work with in the future?

 

A) Daniel Day-Lewis! He’s the best!!!!

 

Q) You are a part of social media. Are you looking forward to the instant fan feedback you’ll receive to the movie?

 

A) It’s always nice to get a little feedback. I never expect much from social media. It’s hit or miss. [laughs]

 

 

Q) What would you like to say to everyone who is a fan and supporter of you and your work?

 

A) THANK YOU for the support and love always. I have kind of a little gang on social media. They are all so fun. I like my pages. I try to keep it light.
