''They said here's the character, we suggest a hint of a Russian accent. And she just leapt from my imagination. A diehard Russian came out. That's who I think she really is. And they loved it. There's a kind of doggedness about me when I'm on it. I know that for me this is the choice and there can be no other. I won't play otherwise. And they see that and they say that's it. That's the color we were missing.''
