Julia Interview
FearNet has an interview with Julia Jones.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
When we meet Leah in Eclipse, her entire body language is as hostile as her attitude towards Bella… what did you do to represent Leah’s physicality, of a woman newly changed against her will into a wolf?
That’s a really good question and nobody asks me about that. It was such a big part [of Leah]. That was, I would say, one of the biggest ways I kind of found her. The most obvious thing is, which it says in the book, that she’s always frowning; she’s angry a lot so physically, frowning was a part of it. Honestly, I watched wolves — amazing YouTube footage of wolves — and there’s this program about this man who went and lived with wolves. He infiltrated this wolf pack and became the alpha of this wolf pack. It’s long, and I watched the whole thing several times… there are things about how wolves move, and how they carry themselves, and their reactions to things, that I started to incorporate very subtly into how Leah carries herself.
The other thing about the physicality was that I think Leah has a lot of self loathing. The self-esteem issues that are warranted given all the things that she’s going through — those read in your body, too. Physically, it’s like you almost want to hide. You’re not comfortable with your body; you don’t belong, you don’t fit in.
