And the black heart was for Manson and the lightning bolt down the middle was for David Bowie.

I wasn't doing it to shock anybody or to be rebellious or to get attention making "Heart-Shaped Glasses" with Marilyn Manson. I was more proud of that than anything because it took a lot of strength and bravery to put myself out there like that. It was a risk.

It was really the dream role, and when they first cast me, and I started playing Dolores in the Westworlds and all I knew was the analysis mode and her prairie-girl character, I thought, "Yeah, of course I can do this, and I'm good at it, but why did they pick me?"
