Elsabeth: (About her character on Point Pleasant) It's more psychological than physical - the way they're making these visual connections between the cause and effects of what she does and what happens. It's not so literally about zapping someone with my fingers; it's more of a psychological visual connection. If you look in my head, we know it's not going to cause a good result.

Elisabeth: (On her role in Point Pleasant) I compare Christina to Shane, the Western antihero. We want to love her, we want to see her enter into domesticity, we want to see her become part of the family, but she just can't. She has this other lifestyle and separate life she doesn't fully understand, and she needs to reconcile with it before she can really decide if she can be part of the normal world. She's an antihero, and we always sympathize with those characters. We love them because they're human, they make mistakes, they make the wrong choices, yet they're still likable.

Elisabeth: (About Point Pleasant) The thing about this show is that it's a supernatural drama, but it's very much grounded in the reality of normal human struggles. In portraying the character, it's been mostly about playing it as real as possible. Now, of course, when I'm staring at someone with the evil eye, that's fun because you don't get to do that in normal life very often. You definitely feel that way sometimes, so it's definitely fun to be able to manifest those emotions for no reason. But for me it was most important to portray this character grounded in reality, in the normal sort of teen struggles.
