ever done what is it that attracted you to Roo honestly I hate reading scripts and this was on the first time that I read a script so fast and I just kept reading and reading and reading and I don't know I just I fell in love with her and what was the most difficult part of playing her um I mean I can only understand how her brain were it so much you know so I really rely heavily on our writer creator director Sam Levenson because rue is basically him you know his life so I just

asked him what do you hope your fans get out of this series um I hope they feel something you know like whatever that is I don't know just I hope they feel sit do you feel pressure when you're deciding to post things on your social media you know it's kind of weird yeah I have been more so now than than ever before which is things a little weird for me but I just cut out no I'm just taking a step back and I haven't posted as much anymore do you read the comments no not really

and let's not like from like my friends you know then I read those how do you deal with negativity um you know I try to keep in mind you know that everyone is dealing with something that we have no idea about you know so I just try to have compassion for it you know it's very wise what's something your followers may not know about you I think they know this but I'm a very shy introverted person and what's been the coolest thing that you've learned from a fan my fans they keep me on my toes
