She added, “Also, I was very aware that this might happen, and it pushed me to work harder. So that the representation feels humane, and it feels humane enough for people to overlook the mistakes I may have made, or not. I work very hard on that. That was very important for me because the Northeast is, anyway, misrepresented, under-represented, and I didn’t want to add that fuel to the fire by also not catching the language properly. So, it was very important for me.”
