GlobalGrind: How did you get involved in this movie?
I read the script and loved the idea of the film. I felt it was a cool world to be a part of and it felt really cool and different. I really respect, and wanted a chance to work with Joseph Gordon Levitt! And the writer/director David Koepp, wrote films like Mission: Impossible, Jurassic Park, Spider man so it was a privilege to be in such great company!
What do you hope this movie does for your career?
Careers in this business are always up and down. I just love what I do, and I’m blessed to get a chance to get paid to do it. This film gave me the opportunity to play a character I haven’t really gotten a chance to play before. My character is a very real and 3 dimensional character, she is passionate, edgy but has a very soft intimate side.
What was your favorite thing about your role?
My absolute favorite thing was to get a chance to become bad ass at bike riding. The training was intense! I really loved learning and living in the bike messenger world! And the fact that I got to be home in NYC to film it was such a plus!
What was most challenging for you during the filming process?
The most challenging part was the same thing I loved! Riding a bike at high speeds all throughout NYC. I don’t think one day went by that I didn’t fall off my bike or almost crashed! Try doing dialogue, riding the bike and yelling at pedestrians that live in those neighborhoods and don’t wanna hear it when a PA tells “you can’t cross now, we’re rolling”! Gotta love NYC!
