q&a:<br />
ANNEX: If you could talk face to face with your character<br />
Jenna, what would you tell her? What advice would you<br />
give her?<br />
AR: I would tell Jenna to live a little. One of the things I<br />
admire about her is her analytical mindset, however, it<br />
seems to get in the way of her just living life- moment to<br />
moment.<br />
ANNEX: On the show Jenna deals with her misfortunes very<br />
well, do you think you would handle some of her situations<br />
in the same way?<br />
AR: I don’t know if I would have the same positive composure!<br />
If some of the things that are thrown at her were<br />
thrown at me, it’s likely that I would respond sarcastically<br />
and then launch a twitter campaign against the perpetrator.<br />

ANNEX: Does Jenna echo any part of you, or where you<br />
ever bullied in High school?<br />
AR: I was bullied as a kid, sadly most kids were I think. It took<br />
a huge toll on my self esteem and frankly- the scars of past<br />
cruelty still linger. But I try to keep in mind that I was dealt<br />
those instances for a reason. Each one, each cruel remark<br />
or action, made me who I am and better because of it.
