"They’re three really strong-willed girls and they’re like, ‘We are going to get off this island.’ That’s what excited me about this script. I had no interest in playing a typical girl in a thriller who’s either a victim or just bizarrely tough and strong. As a filmmaker and as an actor, I have this aversion to the kind of girls who are just like—[employs sarcastic tone]—so pretty but so embarrassed about how pretty they are and their shoulders hunch down and their voice gets weird…I’m just so done with that. Stand up straight, be a badass, use your voice and be proud of that. You’re still feminine and you’re still sexy. If you intimidate someone then that’s a pretty dumb person you’re intimidating so I love the idea of making these girls have…a certain confidence."
