I was an athlete. I played basketball, track and soccer. To put it in one word-hell. I'm not used to being the worst at something, and I can tell you that I was definitely the weak link there. Waking up at 7 a.m. every day and being held hostage for nine hours a day at something I sucked at.
Cheerleaders work really hard perfecting every move and going the distance.
It was scary at times. I liked playing a part where I could provide a voice for others who couldn't stand up for themselves. Isis has strength and determination to beat the odds. That was refreshing. Many actresses don't have the opportunity to play characters with substance.
