I was drawn to them both for similar reasons, ... They're both complicated characters who are struggling with their lives. People say that Marion, the girl I played in Requiem for a Dream , was pretty dark, too, so I guess I should be careful. I tend to get offered a lot of drug-addict parts, women on the verge, so I think I'm going to do a comedy next time.

It was really nice working with her, ... She's a very sweet little girl. We had a lot of rehearsal time together. When we were just getting to know each other she would tell me stories about her dog and her grandma before we got on with doing scenes together. She worked really hard but seemed to enjoy it. I hope we didn't torture her too much.
