Jessica Pare covers the new issue of Elle Canada March 2013.
Inside the issue, the 30-year-old actress promotes the forthcoming season of Mad Men on which Megan Draper will return to the apparent chagrin of fans.
On the hate towards her character Megan: “How can you not love Megan? I do. People will react to me as an actor, though. Everybody has their opinions – I’m the worst about, like, ‘Oh, I don’t like that actress’ for no reason. So I understand that, but I think the character is fantastic. She’s so spontaneous and genuine.”
On her hit performance of Zou Bisou Bisou: “I know! I knew the song was catchy when I started working on that episode and everybody in the production office was singing it incessantly, and then I was singing it for about six weeks and then everybody in the cast was singing it for the next two. Hats off to Matt Weiner for choosing something that would capture people’s imaginations in such a great way.”
On getting peace of mind with age: “Most of my good girlfriends are older, so I had only high hopes about turning 30 – and so far I haven’t been disappointed. I feel like I have more fun; I’m able to let go of the things that don’t matter so much. I’m not saying ‘Congratulations! At 31, I’m a fully formed human being!’ Hopefully I’ll keep improving.” – via Elle Canada.
