How has that been for you to play?
Im so grateful because I get to explore this character who everyones been intrigued about.
Whats she going to say?
How does she feel about everything?
Could you have ever expected it to go this way when you startedBlack Sails?
I didnt know what to expect, to be honest.
I think were really lucky as a cast to be able to explore these things with our writers.
How much of this is in the history books?
Very little really because theres very little facts about the pirates really, especially about Anne Bonny.
Obviously I went and did all the research.
She had red hair.
That was one of the things documented.
So Im a blonde girl and they had to dye my hair.
I had no choice about that.
Do you have any cool action in the new season?
Yeah, I do and thats my favorite part about doing this show.
Are you ever jealous of what the stuntmen get to do?
I dont let them.
I know personally I try and do as much as I can myself.
What research did you do on Anne Bonny?
What have you been most proud of creating for Anne?
I suppose the hat.
That came completely organically.
Then it became who she is, hiding behind this hat.
Like schizophrenic, bipolar.
Does she connect with Vane this season?
There might be a little bit of that.
Its kind of us against them with the new world invading.
Its naturally come together.
It changes as well.
Have you ever felt completely separate from the other stories going on on the show?
I dont mind that as well.
Will you miss that if Anne separates from him?
He does feel the same.
Theyre brother and sister.
What do you hope for season four?
Would you like to get all Jack Sparrowed up?
I think I give him a run for his money already.
Have you ever tried the dreadlocks?
Ive had accidental dreadlocks.
I cut them out when I was a kid.
I was a little tomboy running around and climbing on the climbing frame.
I was constantly getting dreadlocks.
Thats no new thing.
Were you ever a pirate fan as a tomboy?
Yeah, I likedTreasure Islanda lot as a kid.
It was really funny, I explored it again and I did the audio books.
What have been your favorite scenes to do onBlack Sailsso far?
Exploring Anne, her emotional side.
She suddenly doesnt know who she is.
That was very cool to play.
Any fight scene that I have, I adore.
Getting to just be part of this male world and be on par with the guys.
Anne doesnt have a hell of a lot of lines.
Its more about having to portray these emotions through her eyes, or one eye under the hat.
Do you ever get used to being on the boats?
I get a little seasick.
A trick you do is sway yourself.
So imagine when you were a kid and you spin around, doing that for hours on end.
You get a little seasick.
You spend hours on end on that ship and its boiling hot.
Youre against the elements.
If youre in the studio, youve got the smoke going all around you.
If youre outside youre getting sunburned and you cant wear sunglasses so your retinas are getting burned.
Do you have the outline of your costume burned on your skin?
Shes so covered up.
