Speaker 2: Aubrey Plaza has forged a healthy career largely playing characters
0:06
Speaker 2: that are a bit left of center, often strange, awkward,
0:09
Speaker 2: or insecure, and there's a reason she gravitates to those roles,
0:12
Speaker 2: telling Deadline, personally, I related to those characters in the
0:15
Speaker 2: way that I think a lot of people do. It's
0:17
Speaker 2: all those feelings of being an outsider, not good enough,
0:20
Speaker 2: or a freak or whatever. Over the years, I've embraced
0:22
Speaker 2: those things because I have this impulse to humiliate myself
0:25
Speaker 2: and put myself in the line of fire so similar
0:28
Speaker 2: people can sit back and feel okay. I always felt
0:31
Speaker 2: like something was different about me, a sense of strangeness
0:34
Speaker 2: or feeling like I'm an alien, but it's helped me
0:37
Speaker 2: always connect with others who feel that way. Aubrey's latest film,

Speaker 2: the high concept sci fi epic Megapolis, was directed by
0:43
Speaker 2: none other than Francis Ford Coppola.
