I’ve added scans of Mary’s photoshoot and interview with the latest issue of Malibu Magazine to the gallery. Some excerpts from the interview:

On why she tends to choose projects with a supernatural element: I like things that have a dark underbelly to them, whether it’s comedy horror or sci-fi horror or something that’s just really creepy and gets under your skin. I’ve always been drawn to that as a viewer, so as an actor, I tend to go back to that. My taste is my taste, and I’m drawn to weird rather than boring.”

On working on the PBS drama Mercy Street: It was scary for me at the beginning, because it was so different from anything I’ve ever done before. I had never done much work in that period, and the other actors are theater-trained actors who have done work in period pieces on film or on stage. That was one of the reasons I did it. It was such a unique challenge for me.

Mary also revealed that her husband is currently in the re-write phase of their new film together The Art of Self Defense and also says Scott Pilgrim Vs the World is one of the most memorable experiences of her film career. Be sure to read the full interview using the link above!

Back in March, Mary was interviewed for Schon Magazine and scans of the photo and interview have been added to the site.

Winstead clearly isn’t shy about taking on projects of a stranger nature. “I think I tend to follow experience rather than results,” she explains. “A lot of times the smaller films are the most interesting to me, and seem like they would be the most fun experience that will help me grow as a person and an actor.”

Her choice of protagonist seems to emanate from her own internal view of self-worth: “I feel really lucky that there was something instilled in me from a young age by my parents that made me feel like I didn’t need to conform to whatever beauty standards were out there. What’s beautiful to me is that I don’t look like everyone else. That was something that took a little while for me to learn in terms of where I stand in the industry.”

The gallery has been updated with screencaps from Mary’s interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which aired March 11th. Check them out below:
