Vanity Fair<\/a><\/em> ahead of her debut and how she feels similar to Roxie.<\/p>\n\u201cThere are elements of Roxie that I really connect with\u2014some of her dialogue, specifically; saying things like, \u2018If life is a game, I\u2019ll play it the best. I won\u2019t give up. I won\u2019t give in.\u2019 She literally is never down and out. And if she is, she\u2019s not there for long. That is something that I\u2019ve related to because this past year, this isn\u2019t the first time that I\u2019ve been through shit. I am 38 years old. This isn\u2019t the first time that I\u2019ve been knocked down. This isn\u2019t the first time I\u2019ve struggled. This isn\u2019t the first time that I\u2019ve had to try to lift myself up. I think that that\u2019s something with Roxie\u2014that she can\u2019t be counted out,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
