“Rebecca, much like Pepper, takes her job very seriously, but she doesn't take herself seriously. A lot of actors don't like to play the fool. They feel it weakens them in some way, but Rebecca gets power from it. So when bad things are happening to Pepper, or humiliating things are happening to Pepper, she rolls with it. And because she's able to throw herself in all the way, it makes the gags work.”
“What [is] really true is the fact that journalism is a tough job. It's a job that requires a lot of passion. It's a job that requires a tremendous degree of intelligence.”
“We really want to get the audience invested in this slow-burning relationship and the attraction between the two and not bring romantic entanglements for Pepper in too early.”
