And the writers actually had already discussed going into the mind of Quiet Ann.
They had to figure out how to hear and know Quiet Ann more without making her talk too much.
But they were in the script, so we had someone read it as I acted the scenes.

Your performance has to be different than what youre saying it in your head.
It was a lot of homework involved.
Its even hard for me to describe.
Shes dealing with a lot.Theres a lot of things that are mounting with her in this episode.
You know what I mean?
As the writers started crafting her backstory, did it all make sense to you?
Also that she is Cuban.
Im not Cuban, but yeah, Cuban, that makes sense for Ann.
She has a gay brother who is much more successful and appreciated than she is.
I was like, That really works.
But that her parents are gay was a wonderful, wonderful comedic…veryClaws-ian.
I was like, Oh, I love this.
This is absolutely fing nuts.
Oh, and she had a kid that she gave up?
And shes an academic?
She speaks five languages?
All these incredibly delicious things that can contribute to whatever future revelations.
Because shes an ex-con, and whos going to hire a female ex-con anywhere?
And thats why she owes this incredible debt to Desna, who she does resent so profoundly.
I guess they rescued each other, and they absolutely need each other.
It made me feel completely alive, if that makes any sense and safe.
What can you tell us about whats next for Quiet Ann?
Well see how it evolves in the madness and mayhem that is the world ofClaws.
I think thats all Im allowed to give you.
Will we be hearing a lot more from her?
But she does grow and talk more.
Its just as crazy as ever.
Clawsseason 2 airs Sundays at 9 p.m.
