Kristen S

- How did the story script "Welcome to the Rileys"?
Michael Costigan, the President of Scott Free brought the story to us. We met with director Jake Scott, and really loved how honest his vision was for the film.

- Why did you choose Kristen for the role?
Kristen was, and still is one of the few young actresses with enough talent to play that role with complete believability. Even though I expected a certain level of performance, I was still surprised at how truly talented she was.

- How was working with her​​?
Working with Kristen was an enormous pleasure. I also learned a lot from watching her process. You can't just step on set unprepared and give those types of performances. She was immersed in the character and it showed. Each take was better than the last.

- What do you think about Kristen has stated publicly that she wanted to help (institutions) girls who live in the same situation as Mallory lived?
I believe that once you bring a character like Mallory to life, you are affected for a long time. If you give something your absolute everything, it takes a little something away from you in the process. I completely understand why she would want to help anyone in the same situation afterwards. I believe we all left a little part of our souls in New Orleans after we finished the film.

- You also want to help them?
Yes, I have not only donated to teens in crisis, but to the rebuilding of New Orleans. It is an important cause.

- Prefers her performance as Joan Jett and the Runaways as a WTTR Mallory?
That isn't a fair question because I obviously have a huge favorite spot in my heart for Mallory. I do however think she nailed Joan Jett in The Runaways.

- What was the most tense moment of the entire production of the film?
For me personally it was the breakdown scene at the motel when Doug comes to get Mallory after she was robbed. Watching her do take after take and then hearing her in my headphones between takes really got to me emotionally. A scene like that takes so much from an actor, and the parental instinct in me wanted to just comfort her and let her know everything was going to be alright.

- What do you think about Kristen as Snow White? Think she'll be a tough and Snow White will give a kick in the ass Wicked Queen?
I think they made a brilliant choice with casting her as Snow White. Kristen is an incredibly complex creature, she is a flawless beauty on the outside and a deep and wise spirit on the inside. She is going to give the conventional fairy tale a depth that will make it so much more alluring to modern audiences.

- Many fans of Kristen follow you on twitter and I'm sure their fans are too. I would like to leave a comment especially for them?
