John Miller Monzon recently interviewed Renée, who said that she never decided to go and become an actress Just Like That: “It's strange, because there wasn't a day, really, when I decided, ‘Oh, I'm gonna be an actress.’ But when the time came to make a choice in my life, I was already doing it. I never had a set goal. I was just gonna go for the ride and see what happened.”
What does Renée look for in a role? “I like to be scared. I'm always scared before I do a project, because I can't believe somebody's trusting me to do it. Right now, I'm learning how to speak with a New York accent to play a Hasidic Jewish woman (Price Below Rubies), and I'm so scared. Sometimes I wake up at night and go, ‘Oh, damn! Here we go again! What were they thinking? They gave me this role - don't they know I'm faking it?’”
