HERE.
HERE. AND THIS SHOW IS SO MUCH FUN.
>> THANK YOU.
>> IT’S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
THE CHARACTER IS SOMEBODY YOU
MAY NOT HAVE PLAYED YET.
>> YEAH, NO, FOR SURE.
>> WHAT DREW YOU TO HER?
>> IT’S SOMETHING THAT SEBASTIAN
GUTIERREZ AND I HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON FOR A LONG TIME AND
HE WROTE AN AMAZING ROLE AND
HANDED ME THE SCRIPT AND SAID I
WANT YOU TO PLAY DAISY JET
KOWALSKI.
KOWALSKI. SHE IS SOMEONE -- SHE’S VERY
DIFFERENT THAN -- I THINK
TELEVISION IS AN AMAZING PLACE
FOR FEMALE CHARACTERS RIGHT NOW
BUT THERE’S A LONG WAYS TO GO
FOR THE FEMALE ANTI-HERO.
SO SHE’S COOL.
SHE KEEPS HER OWN COUNSEL AND
LIVES LIFE THE WAY SHE WANTS TO.
>> SHE’S SUCH A SUPER FIERCE
CHARACTER.
CHARACTER. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU DID
DIFFERENT TO REALLY PREPARE
YOURSELF TO DO THIS ROLE AS
COMPARED TO THE OTHER ROLES THAT
YOU’VE DONE?
YOU’VE DONE? >> A LOT OF THINGS, BUT ONE
THING I’LL SAY, I’M ITALIAN, I
TALK A LOT WITH MY HANDS.
MY FACE IS VERY EXPRESSIVE AND
THIS WAS MUCH MORE ABOUT, YOU
KNOW, THINK YOUNG CLINT
EASTWOOD, LEE MARVIN, THERE’S A
VERY SORT OF SHE REVEALS VERY
LITTLE.
LITTLE. THAT WAS MUCH HARDER FOR ME THAN
EXPECTED.
EXPECTED. >> I CAN SEE THAT, YEAH.
>> SO YOU WORKED WITH YOUR
PARTNER, SEBASTIAN, ON THIS
PROJECT FOR HOW MANY YEARS?
DID YOU SAY FOUR YEARS
DEVELOPING IT?
DEVELOPING IT? >> YEAH, HE WROTE ALL NINE
SCRIPTS ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO.
SO HE WROTE NINE HOURS FOR FREE.
LET’S SEE IF WE CAN MAKE THIS.
AND WE WAITED A LONG TIME TO
MAKE IT THE WAY WE WANTED TO
MAKE IT NOT KNOWING IF WE’D GET
TO MAKE IT.
>> WHAT’S THE KEY?
BUT PEOPLE IN HOLLYWOOD WORKING
WITH THEIR PARTNERS, WHAT DO
THEY DO?
THEY DO? >> I DON’T THINK THERE’S ANY
MAGIC BULLET.
MAGIC BULLET. BUT WITH US WHAT’S GREAT IS THAT
WE ARE GOOD AT DIFFERENT THINGS.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> AND, THEREFORE, IT MAKES IT A
GOOD BALANCE.
GOOD BALANCE. I THINK IF WE WERE BOTH ACTORS,
THAT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT’S JUST ONE OF
THOSE THINGS THAT FOR SOME
REASON FROM VERY EARLY ON FOR US
IT’S JUST A NATURAL OUTLET AND
WE LOVE TO DO IT.
AND YOU DO HAVE TRUST AND I
THINK THAT’S GREAT FOR
CREATIVITY.
CREATIVITY. >> I READ THAT YOU LISTEN TO A
DIFFERENT PLAYLIST FOR EACH
CHARACTER.
CHARACTER. WHAT SONGS?
WHAT SONGS? WHAT SONGS SHOULD WE DOWNLOAD?
>> I CAN GIVE YOU A COUPLE.
"WALK A MILE" BY HOLLY
GOLIGHTLY.
GOLIGHTLY. SHE’S SUPER COOL.
AND A SONG CALLED "EASY MONEY"
BY KAREN ANNE, KAREN WITH AN E.
>> AND "HAUNTING ON HILL HOUSE."
HAVE YOU BEEN SCARED TO DEATH
YET?
YET? >> I’M TERRIFIED.
>> IT WAS THE SCARIEST SHOW OF
LAST YEAR FOR SURE.
>> I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE
IN OUR BUSINESS TOO WHO KNOW
WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN AND THEY
WERE LIKE I HAD TO WATCH IT IN
THE DAYTIME, I COULD NOT WATCH
IT AT NIGHT, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
>> IS IT COMING BACK?
>> IT IS.
>> IT IS. IT’S A DIFFERENT STORY BUT
YOU’LL SEE SOME RETURNING
ACTORS.
ACTORS. >> WILL WE SEE YOU?
>> I CAN’T ANSWER THE QUESTION
AT THIS MOMENT.
>> YOU CANNOT TELL.
THAT MAKES ME THINK YES.
THAT MAKES ME HOPE YES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, CARLA.
