Good interview with Jennette by Canadian site

How did you get in her mindset and her individual struggle, though?

''JM: Wiley is … what is it, art imitates life? Wiley was kind of mimicking my life at the time and I found a lot of comfort through playing her. Wiley internalizes a lot of things. She can come across kind of cynical and sarcastic and I don’t think that’s a strange concept in terms of what people might think of me. [Laughs]''

''As the episodes unfold, we learn a little bit more about Wiley and we relate to her more and we recognize that what appears to be a certain harshness comes from a very real place of sensitivity and fragility. And I think that’s also me. Cause I’m just a baby inside. [Laughs]''

'' I think there are a couple key points in Wiley’s arc where we see, oh, this is why she acts this way. Oh, this is where this is coming from. If we did a Season 2, and I hope it happens, that is something that I’d really like to see more of in Wiley. Because I don’t think that being fragile or being sensitive means that you’re weak, and I don’t think Wiley’s recognized that. I think it would be really cool to see her accept that part of herself and become stronger by doing so. ''  Do you have anything else other than this on the go right now? What’s next for you?

JM: No. I’ve just been writing a lot and really trying to find a balance between work and life–my personal life and professional life–and finding whatever that bridge is. I think that’s something I didn’t really learn because I started acting when I was 6. So it was like, ‘Work is life! Work constantly! Every move I make must be for work!’ I actually think it’s a really modern mentality because kids start doing their work, their professions so young now.

'''For the last couple years–I’d say two years–I’ve been taking my friendships, my family relationships seriously and making sure I nurture them as I should be. And not wasting any time and putting real things on the back burner for career choices.'''
