Jessica: I wanted
to do this movie because Robert Rodriguez was directing it, first and
foremost. I didn't really know it was a comic book when I saw that he
was
directing something. I just tell my agents every month, "What's Robert
doing? I want to do something with him." And one of my agents has a
relationship with Robert and said, "You got an opportunity." And I
was like, "Excellent!" So I took that opportunity and ran with it. I
auditioned the old fashion way, went in for the casting director, put
myself on
tape, and he had to approve. And it was like a week of, "Does he think
I
suck?" Like I don't even care if I get the role, I just don't want
Robert
to think I suck! And he didn't think I sucked. And he came down, and I
read
with him, and at that time I looked at the graphic novel and I saw the
pictures. I then found out she was a stripper, and she was bottomless
and
topless. You know, nudity was an option. We could have done it if we
wanted
to..."

"How did
you prepare physically for the role? Jessica:
I went to
strip clubs to see how strippers do it. I wanted a choreographer, and
Robert
said, No. Just feel it. We're just going to play music and you're just
going to
feel it."
