She said, “I have spent so many years doing Marvel thatI feel like all the other jobs I have to do have to really reflect my personal tastebecause as much as I love being a part of this world — and I’m proud of what I’ve been able to do with the character — it’s not really the art that I consume. Which I have been very honest about.”
