Please explain the motivation/inspiration behind your role in Bomb Girls.
Betty is the most complex and fascinating young woman I have ever had the pleasure of portraying. She is so butch and masculine in some situations and then a big ol’ marshmellow in her private moments.

She is part James Dean, part Kathryn Hepburn, and a mixture of two friends who have affected me deeply, one male and one female. I auditioned for Betty wearing these particularly rockin’ pair of black combat boots, which I then wore to set some days. I developed this cocky swagger for Betty and the boots definitely were an inspiration.
