"For a young actress, Julia Garner has a remarkable number of indie gems on her resume. First there was Martha Marcy May Marlene, the Sundance favorite starring Elizabeth Olsen, followed by Not Fade Away, rock n' roll film from David Chase, and finally The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which earned numerous accolades including an Independent Spirit Award.\n\nThough Julia's newest movie, Electrick Children, marks her first leading-lady role, she carries the offbeat film with unbelievable grace\u2014no small feat, since she plays a fundamental Mormon who believes she's had an immaculate conception listening to Blondie's \"Hanging on the Telephone\" on the radio.\n\nWe talked to the 19-year-old actress about preparing for the dramatic role, filming the new Sin City alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and what else she's working on next.\n\nHow did you get involved with this movie?\n\n \"I got the script about a week before the actual shoot because they had a couple of girls they didn't end up working with. I got it super last-minute. They said, 'Julia, you should audition for this.' I was getting over the flu!\"\n\nDid it take a lot of research and preparation to play a fundamentalist Mormon?\n\n \"I did prepare for the role as much as I could, but I only had a little bit of time. I was very lucky, because Rebecca Thomas, the director, has such a gift and is so talented\u2014and she grew up Mormon. She guided me through everything. I came from a way different background.\"\n\nYour character has a major connection with forbidden rock n' roll music. Are you into it?\n\n \"I'm such a big music fan. It's actually a problem, because I listen to my iPod all the time. It's funny, because people say, 'What's your favorite kind of music?' But I really don't have a favorite. I like everything as long as it has a nice beat. Right now I'm listening to Arcade Fire and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I think Azealia Banks is really cool. I like opera music, too. I like old nineties hip-hop, like Notorious B.I.G. I like everything!\"\n\nThis was your first starring role. What was that like?\n\n \"It's weird because now when I think about it, I think, 'Oh my god, that's crazy! It was so hard!' Of course I was nervous, but at the time I kind of just took it moment-to-moment and focused on the situation that my character was in.\"\n\nWhat was it like on-set with young actors like Rory Culkin and Liam Aiken?\n\n \"I was the youngest. Rory's such a great actor and he's such a good person. A generous actor, but also a generous person.\"\n\nWhat do you have coming up next?\n\n \"I have this horror film called We Are What We Are, which premiered at Sundance. It's a very big ensemble movie, and it was so much fun. And I just finished the new Sin City. It was my first time shooting with a green screen!\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
