My Interview Questions With Sophia Lillis of Nancy Drew and The Hidden Staircase

I had the please of interviewing the star of the movie, Sophia Lillis, the other day. Myself and about 10 others were able to ask her a couple questions each. Here are some of the wonderful answers she gave. By the way, Sophia is a doll, she was so sweet and welcoming to all of us.

Me: What was your favorite part of playing such an iconic character like Nancy Drew?

Sophia: I was able to be light hearted. I put a lot of myself into this character, and had a lot of fun playing her because most of my films are more on the darker side. I got to show my real self more in this film.

Me: There were some major life lessons in this movie such as cyber bullying, but also a lot of girl power. Have you ever had to deal with this or do you know anyone that has had to deal with this?

Sophia: I haven’t had to deal with this nor do I know anyone that has. I do like how she handled it, it may not have been the best way to deal with it, but it was a fun way to deal with it. As for the girl power, I think everyone should follow their passion, boy or girl and don’t let that stop you.

Interviewer: Will there be more movies in the Nancy Drew series?

Sophia: I hope so, I think it’s a great family movie, great for the new generation. With so many books and so much content, I feel there will be more movies, and I would love to play this part again.

Interviewer: Who is your roll model and why?

Sophia: As far as actors – Bill Murray. I love the way he goes about life, he is very free in what he is doing. He loves what he does, and he tells the stories great. I really love his work. He’s been in a lot of comedic movies and I would love to do a comedy and be the comedic version of Bill Murray.

Interviewer: Is your mom supportive of you acting and do you get a long great with her?

Sophia: Ha Ha, yah, she is sort of my manager, she helps me a lot. She reads all the scripts and helps me practice and goes to all the auditions with me.

Interviewer: What is some advice you would give young girls in following your path in acting ?

Sophia: Don’t be so nervous, I wasn’t really nervous about acting, but I was during auditions. Will I do ok, will I get it, a whole spiral of negative thoughts. That just won’t help you in life, so I would tell them to not be nervous, it is natural, but try hard not to have that downward spiral.
