ACTOR - BEAUTY - REBEL How did you feel about being chosen for the cover of our Summer 2013 issue? I love New York City, so being on the cover of a NY based magazine is awesome. Thank you. Prior to portraying Tia who stems from the Egyptian Coven in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, what role had you been most eager to take on? Lady Macbeth. Have there been any positive career changes since moving into the world of cinema? This is your time to tell us what is next on the acting agenda, plug yourself! Working in a film like Paranoia was a very memorable experience. I saw how the producers, director and writers all worked so hard to make a great film. It was unpredictable and spontaneous and really fun. It’s fun when you can surprise yourself. The transition from television to film to a non-actor is a big deal. Did you feel that your move to the big screen was an adjustment? It’s a strange time in our business, where the line has become thinner between actors in film and television. I’ve worked in both, from the beginning of my career, and I base my choice to work on a project on the story that’s being told, and not so much the vehicle it’s told through. Even the most well known celebrities can still get star-struck. Have you experienced such a fascination while working with another actor? Yes, I have. I’ve been lucky to work with very talented actors that I truly admire, and a lot have surprised me with their generosity. All in different ways.
