There's a real intense thing about manners in the South, a real prescribed way to be a woman.
You always want to put your character through different experiences and see how it shapes their worldview.
Spock is a huge mythical character that even people who aren't 'Star Trek' fans like.
Being in a video game just feels so cool.
People don't exist in a vacuum. They're a result of who raised them and who they love and who frustrates them.
To get to be part of a video game is... it's pretty neat. That somebody animated me is very exciting and weird.
To be part of something that's so important to other people, it's strange and it's unmooring, and it's deeply beautiful, and it's the gift that keeps on giving.
I'm not like a huge gamer myself. I like 'Mario Kart!'

Listen, when you're starting out you're trying to be as creative as possible about how you can use your skills as an actor to make money.
I will say Ethan Peck is an excellent Spock!
I think sometimes it's hard, parent's expectations, wanting to be seen by the people in your family and feeling that you can't do that, you can't get them to see you the way that you want to be seen, and come to an understanding or find a way to talk that doesn't revert to bad habits.
