She talks a little weird.

So, yeah, shes a tad unique.
So who is this new mystery woman?
And literally being put on tape for the producer, and then the next day it was looking good.
Gene Page/AMC
The next day it was Yeah, they want to offer it to you.
So it was the most incredibly simple casting process for something with so much weight to it.
Was what you were auditioning for pretty close to what it ended up being?
Gene Page/AMC
People were talking about this A character [from the comic].
And of course, now I know that its Scotts creation and not in the comic books.
Shes full of mystery, this one.
And what about the way Jadis communicates?
A lot of hand gestures and shes very economical with her words.
Shes almost created her own language here.What can you say about that?Exactly that.
The way I see it is like you say, its direct.
Has no time, nothing is wasted on the heaps, you know, in our junkyard home.
Everything is being used, as you could already see by the costumes and the weaponry and everything.
We make use of things.
So theres no waste with her language either.
I feel that its a way to make the group feel more cohesive.
Why is she talking like this?
So I wander away.
I know whats going on.
What about the look of the character with the hair and clothes and everything?Yeah, thats funny.
Whats up with those bangs?
So, for me, it was my hair before I got the job.
It just happened to work for Jadis, which is wonderful.
The costume is half-military to me, and half kind of urban-fashionista.
Those boots are pretty fantastic as well.
Everything is just very practical, the way I see it.
Its incredibly impressive and so beautiful to me.
Its really weird, but its true and here I am, in my junkyard home.
So there are piles and piles of cars stacked together, particularly exciting.
Its very, very exciting to walk in on that.
What was it like getting to work for the first time with Andrew Lincoln?
Ive watched him on set a lot and the dude is intense.
Theres a lot of pacing and yelling and sometimes hitting things in between takes.Working with Andy was really inspiring.
Thats exactly how Andy is.
I just loved working with him.
Jadis, she really enjoys doing the bargaining.
And it made me feel very welcome and very much accepted and it was lovely.
Lets talk about Winslow, the helmeted spike zombie.
What did that thing look like up close?Its phenomenal!
I was watching that scene like an audience member because I was watching it on a monitor.
But me as Pollyanna, Im standing there watching the monitor and like, Get him!
So everyone was really excited and Norman came down the first time that day just to see it.
Again, I just got this wonderful sense of camaraderie amongst the cast and crew.
I felt for the actor.
So I think its quite an exciting turn for the show to take with that.
So whats the deal with this group?
She says We take.
So is their M.O.
What can you say about whats coming up for Jadis?
Clearly they built this incredible set so were going to see it again.Im excited going forward.
I hope for more adventure.
