What’s on your bucket list of places to travel to? I love that it’s so rich with culture and the food is so good and also so rich. The music, the vibe of the city … there is a pulse. I’m excited in general by traveling, seeing the world, meeting people, experiencing new people and their energies, places and food. I just wouldn’t act out they way she did. We are the same in that we are complex people with wounds, delicacies and vulnerabilities … who just want love. I didn’t see the world as me, things looked different and felt different. That was super valuable and thanks in large part to Jon, who directed it and gave me so much freedom to explore. I learned timing and how to trust my own artistic instinct, and to take risks. It was more of a balancing act during filming. I wanted to learn how to work hard, take care of myself and still be happy. ![]() What did you learn about yourself when you were filming? It was like the script was speaking to me and I just knew I was supposed to play this role. I read the script and the same thing happened. When I was auditioning, it just came through me. For so many reasons, I just would not have thought this would be my role. If I had looked at it on paper without putting it on its feet, I never would have thought “me” for this role. How did you know this part was perfect for you? I wanted the audience to feel sympathy for her. I tried my best to dislike you during the film, but I couldn’t. Then we had a conversation about Anna and something in my eyes changed that kind of scared him and that’s when he knew I could do it. ![]() I went to a couple meetings, sent in an audition tape while I was filming Paper Towns, met the director and he told me later that during our meeting that he didn’t think I would get the role because he thought I was too sweet. I went in for the audition and they had me do four scenes from the story so they could feel if I could play both: the innocent Anna and the intense Anna. And that would be a very bad thing.Sinclair played her role so skillfully theatergoers will be impressed by the fact that she was only 20 during filming. Everyone who gives their hard earned money to films like this is simply encouraging more films like this to be made. ![]() At the end of the day though my advice would be to not see this film. There aren't a lot of good aspects to mention, but if I had to point some out they would be a decent scare near the end that actually worked quite well, and a final 10 minutes or so that weren't actually half bad (although that could have just been because I was comparing them to the 90 minutes that had proceeded them). The amateur nature with which this film was made was nothing short of shocking. Not even one moment that could possibly be in the least bit considered an original idea. There isn't a single shred of originality in this film. The other big problem with the film is just how "Been there, done that" it all feels. But you'd better expect the rest of us to hate your films. So are there adults out there craving PC, bland nonsense? If so, good on them for catering to those needs. Who really wants their films this toned down? Surely no children are out there watching a film about a topic like this. ![]() I can't help but think while I watch films like this that life is too short. The latter was certainly the more predominant case in the film. There were times in this movie where I was actually surprised how far they went in terms of some graphic violence, yet on other occasions they seemed incredibly limited as to what they could show. The reason is that their hands are so severely tied behind their back in terms of what they are able to show and portray. I find films like 'When the Bough Breaks' very frustrating, because they have no chance of living up to their full potential even before the opening credits have rolled.
