“THE SELFLOATHING IS RUNNING PRETTY DEEP…”

Has Jessica changed from her own series?

She hasn’t changed much. She’s still kind of an asshole. She’s still hitting the bottle. She is dealing with popularity and eyes on her – that’s not the easiest thing for someone that’s reclusive and as isolated as she is, and prefers to be. So she’s just kind of trying to figure out how to fit in. We’re picking up not too long after we see her at the end of [Jessica

Jones] season one. She’s dealing with the aftermath of killing someone, which is not easy. And as someone who already hates herself, the self-loathing is running pretty deep. But she’s still funny!

What’s the mood like on set?

Honestly, it’s the fucking best! I think it’s the most fun on-set experience I’ve ever had, and that’s saying a lot, considering I’ve done sitcoms where you just laugh all day. We almost get in trouble for laughing too much – in between takes, of course! The show dynamic will feel different from that, but I think that there’s a real genuine spirit and camaraderie that’s really cool. It’s nice to work with actors who are so invested, so in love with their own characters.

Out of the three guys who would you call in a real-life emergency?

Probably Charlie. Because he’s very pragmatic and he doesn’t fly off the handle. He’s a very steady and sturdy guy, and if you were freaking out you’d want to call him. If you wanted somebody to freak out with you, I’d call Mike!
