Sarah Silverman on what she drew from to play her role as a bitter failed actress in the upcoming Peepshow: “Uh, I was pretending. You know, years ago I got a part on Star Trek: Voyager and I go, ‘Oh I’m going to go to an acting coach for this!’ So I go to this acting coach and he’s like, ‘You know… sometimes when you’re running from lasers, you just have to like pretend you’re running from lasers.’ There’s nothing to draw on, you know? I think I was just imagining the scenario: I know people who are riddled with insecurity, with chips on their shoulder, whose ego manifests itself in negative, self-destructive ways. And I, you know, pretended to be them.â€
