Total Film and discussed how she really got to know and was proud to play her character, Tauriel in
The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies,
”I've had an amazing time figuring out with them who she is. I think that she is a character that for the rest of my life I'll be really proud to have played. The idea of being a part of cinema history is really exciting."
After this she took the time to praise all the writers who worked on the film, calling them ‘collaborative’ and ‘generous’,
"This team of writers - Peter, Fran [Walsh] and Philippa [Boyens] - are the most collaborative, open, generous team of writers I've ever encountered in ten years in the business.” She then continues,
"From the very beginning, they said, 'We've scratched out what this character's going to be, but we actually haven't made anything solid because we're waiting to see who we cast. And hopefully that person will help us build the character,'”
