Easterbrook mengatakan kepada penulis Paul Stenning, "Lucunya, itu bukan saya sama sekali. Saya tidak pernah bermain keras. Saya telah memainkan segala macam hal, tapi saya tidak pernah memainkan seseorang yang mengintimidasi atau seseorang yang agresif secara seksual. Saya memiliki ukuran yang tidak pernah saya perankan sebagai gadis yang mendapatkan pria itu. Saya bertanya-tanya bagaimana saya bisa melakukannya. Tapi saya melakukannya. Saya pergi untuk audisi dan membuat takut produser dan sutradara dan kemudian mereka mundur ke kursi mereka dan saya berkata 'Oh tidak, sekarang saya benar-benar gagal. Saya membuat mereka takut'. Jadi saya meninggalkan audisi dengan kesal. Saya tidak sempat membaca naskahnya sampai saya mendapatkan perannya.

Easterbrook told author Paul Stenning, "The funny thing is, that's not me at all. I'd never played tough. I'd played all kinds of things, but I'd never played someone who's intimidating or someone that was aggressive sexually. I was of a size that I never played the girl who got the guy. I wondered how I could do it. But I did. I went for the audition and I scared the producer and the director and then they backed up in their chairs and I went 'Oh no, now I really blew it. I scared them'. So I left the audition upset. I didn't get to read the script until I got the part. I thought it was outrageous and so funny."
