How did it feel being made up as less than picture-perfect?
Did you feel at all vulnerable?
Its like the death of …
I dont want to say a crutch, but of an appendage, really.
Its the first extension of who you are that people make snap judgments about.
If you were to lose that, who are you?
For both Mary Jane and myself, it was weird.
It took two hours to put on that prosthetic every morning.
I knew that having that prosthetic changed how I normally interacted with people and how they reacted to me.
I knew people looked at me differently.
And I found myself sticking to myself, and going to work and going straight home.
I definitely didnt socialize as much.
It was eye-opening in a number of ways.
What happens when you stop getting likes?
Are you suddenly hideous?
Do you still have value?
It makes you explore those issues.
Which of these topics felt the most personal to you?
They all strike me for different reasons.
This probably says everything about me, but I dont find Mary Janes sexual behavior shocking or unique.
I dont want to say that its tame, but it is standard.
And so the fact that she says, Were made to be desired, I can relate to that.
I think that sexual gratification is standard.
And I dont think it should be shocking or unusual that a woman would actually say that.
On social media, I always get How can you play someone so sexual?
and Im like What?
People are screwing, a lot.
What can you say about Mary Janes love life this season?
Youll have to wait and see.
There are definitely new love interests.
She doesnt let a little thing like disfigurement stop her.
Is marriage a possibility for Mary Jane this year?
Will Mary Jane ever forgive David or Lisa?
I think if weve learned anything about Mary Jane, forgiveness is not one of her strong suits.
Handling adversity is definitely not one of her strong suits either.
I can guarantee you that not only is she not forgiving of any of them, shes pissed.
Theres a feeling like Mary Jane wont be welcome with open arms back at SNC.
She has to really reexamine her career.
I think she really wants to get back to being an investigative journalist.
But is that even reasonable or feasible, given the current climate at SNC?
I think that shes definitely is trying to get back to the career space where she was very passionate.
I dont know if thats going to be at SNC or somewhere totally different.
Mary Jane is being blackmailed byLoretta DeVines character.
What kind of relationships will we see develop between these two characters?
What is her responsibility to her people in doing the work?
Can she be more than just be a celebrity?
Id love to see Mary Jane have an a-ha!
Women undercutting each other, minorities undercutting each other.
What kinds of issues will we see Mary Jane take on this season?
What does it mean to be an aging woman who is in front of the camera?
How will Mary Jane internalize that?
What are the lies we tell ourselves?
Youre not good enough, youre a joke, youre not enough, youre unlovable, youre unworthy.
