Quotes
"It’s not very cut and dry. There’s a fine balance with Nina between her being trustworthy or not, her being pure of heart or not. She’s been in hell for eons and she belongs to the devil and yet she still manages to prioritize her relationship with Ben...It sounds like a Spock thing where she’s half Vulcan and half human." — Jenny Wade, interview for Reaperhttp://reaper.otavo.tv/reaper-interview-with-jenny-wade (Speaking about her role as Nina on the show Reaper)
"Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a horror movie without my trusty eye shield (fingers over peepers). That makes me a dork, I realize. A bona fide lame ass. Also, I tend to make funny sounds when I’m scared, which means in order to avoid humiliation, I would have to watch alone. And that ain’t happenin’, my friend." — Jenny Wade, interview with KillerReviews.comhttp://www.killerreviews.com/dispinterview.php?intid=1676 (Speaking about horror movies)
