On doing the action scenes:
"Actually, there was one gunfight scene that stunts had been choreographing for a couple of weeks, and I had minutes to get it down and rehearse it, and it was really difficult for me to shoot the old-style gunslinger guns, because I have tiny little baby hands, and they're really large and really heavy, so just the physicality of having to pull that off was really difficult. This was more action-heavy for me, it was more intricate, the action, in this movie, than in previous movies that I've done."
On wearing the corset:
" I loved the corset. When I showed up for camera tests, everyone thought I was in pain, or hurting, that something was wrong with me, because my waist was so small, but I enjoyed it, and I wish they'd come back into style."
On her character being a "hooker with a heart of gold":
"Well, hooker with a heart of gold was not in the character breakdown when I got it, but I felt like it was an amazing opportunity for me to be involved in a project with Josh, and John Malkovich, and [Michael] Fassbender - with all these incredible actors, who were coming in to make this movie. I just wanted to be a part of it any way that I could. I don't really feel like she's that stereotypical. Perhaps you're responding to the fact that I'm playing the character, that that sort of makes it stereotypical. But it's something completely different from anything I've done, and no one can accuse me of doing the same thing twice, which I'm proud of."
On whether she'd be interested in reprising the role:
"Of course. I mean, if that was an opportunity that was presented to me, absolutely. I would love that."
On taking liberties with the source material:
"Well, I feel like it's impossible to really please the hardcore comic book fans, because they'll never be happy no matter what you do. I go on to Lord of the Rings forums, because I'm a fan, and they'll complain that Frodo was eating the Lembas bread outside of Mordor instead of the mines of Moria, and they get really mad. But Peter Jackson and company won like, thirty-something Oscars for that movie! So you can't focus completely on pleasing them, because you'll never win, and then you're excluding a whole other world of people who weren't aware of the comic in the first place, so I think you have to take some kind of liberties to make it into a live-action film, or it wouldn't work."
