Sound Bite: Gabriel Macht & Eva Mendez
Eva – Well it definitely felt glamorous and just uh. I felt like a dame, I felt like a broad back then and it was all very intentional but, what was interesting was I I you know I just wanted to make my character not only glamorous and beautiful and she is obsessed with shiny things which are diamonds –But I didn’t want to make her superficial so I rooted her in you know and I made her come for a place of pain and the fact that she has this exterior that is just to the ten except that she is completely broken inside. (Interviewer speaks)
Eva – Well exactly she’s just hurt. Gabriel – (Whispers) she’s a bad girl.
Eva – She’s just hurt. She lost her father to accidental; you know an accidental murder. She realized that people were not always going to be there for her and you know that things were not stable. She found stability in rocks which, are you know diamonds –diamonds are rocks and that is the most stable thing she found. So in her quest to fill a void she’s you know; she becomes a jewel thief and she just needs that solidity in her life which she gets from diamonds.
Gabriel - it’s too bad. If she just stuck by the spirit then she would be on the straight and narrow and… Eva – Yeah but then she wouldn’t become the, you know the exotic woman that she is today.
Gabriel – That’s true
Eva- Laughs.
