Actually, they seem to be trapped in a classicSound of Musicscenario instead.
You may not know me, but I know who you are.
Youre Maria von Trapp.
Youre sweetness and light and pillow fights and guitars and Im just not that.
Nobody roots for the Baroness.
But what they always forget is the Baroness loved the Captain.
She loved him very much.
But shes also super gracious and will attend your daughters college gala if you ask?
I have to admit that Quinns presence has been a bit of a mystery to me this season.
Shes kind of a Diana stand-in, a romantic foe, and a work villain all at once.
How do you view her?I play her like I always have, which is a driven woman.
I think shes incredibly intelligent and has a great sense of humor.
Shes singular in her vision.
Shes incredibly self-centered and knows what she wants and she goes after it.
Like, twirling my mustache or something.
Shes really funny and a good foil for Liza, whos such a goody two-shoes.
WhatisQuinns vision?She lives her life like a man.
She lives her life by putting herself first.
Nobody really says anything when men behave that way, but they do when women behave that way.
I think of her like a visionary, I really do.
Shes living her best life to the best of her ability and not really worrying about anything.
What makes her sort of villainous is that she doesnt worry about who shes hurting in the process.
Thats the tragedy of Quinn her lack of empathy.
Why do you think that is?
She always struck me asYoungers most self-assured character up until now.She lives on the surface.
She keeps herself incredibly busy so as not to investigate anything on an emotional level.
I think shes been courting fame and fortune for a long time.
So often when thats one sole objective, youre not dealing with an emotional life.
I dont think shes the kind of person whos seeking a deeper connection with her inner self.
I dont think thats what her journey is about.
Shes living an almost epicurean life!
Pleasure is the highest good for her.
And you know what?
Shes kind of simple in the way, frankly, that very powerful men are simple.
Her whole monologue to Liza was terrific, as was the Baroness and Maria comparison.
How would you characterize their relationship at this point?Quinn looked at all of those women as silly.
They allow their emotions to run their business, and thats not the way to run a business.
Liza and a lot of the other characters let their feelings and emotions dictate their behaviors.
You know whats really funny?
I certainly loved playing Maria at 18.
I appreciate the shades of gray.
But seriously, the Baroness is amazing.
Everything the monologue said is true.
But did she want all of those kids?
That doesnt make her evil.
But I think that when people are hurt, they behave in ways that are surprising.
Maybe they even have more in common than Liza and Charles.
But I definitely was surprised at their relationship, I didnt see it coming.
Im glad that people are more mad at him.
Look, people love to hate Quinn.
If people hate Quinn, Im doing my job.
Also, I found out that day that Im an amazing basketball player.
I had no idea.
I was smoking Peter Hermann in basketball.
Im curious, did you model Quinn on anyone in particular?Not really.
I play her like shes a man.
Basically, I play her like some very powerful men that I know.
Not necessarily one specific person.
Ive taken the bold, brash characteristics of so many successful men.
Her sense of humor is also my sense of humor.
Would you buy one of Quinns books?Hell no.
