Interview with Death Proof's Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Death Proof's Mary Elizabeth Winstead is now starring in Live Free or Die Hard with fellow Grindhouse alum Bruce Willis. Here is an interview she did on Kevin Smith's Quick Stop Entertainment.

Excerpt
"STIPP: It’s been a busy year for you with not only this but with GRINDHOUSE as well and has it informed your sense of how you want to take your career, going forward?

WINSTEAD: Yeah. I’ve just been having such a great time sort of playing these supporting roles in these great films where I get to be completely different.

GRINDHOUSE was one of the greatest experiences ever, just to be on the set with Quentin Tarantino who’s the most enthusiastic, joyous person to work with…and to see his child-like excitement about being on set and making a movie…I just kind of want that same thing. Just to have as much fun as possible and work."
