There can be none of this nonsense at all,” he recalled telling her. “This is not about making sure that you look beautiful. In fact, sometimes you’re going to have to look really deliberately monstrous and get into the viscera and the dark side of humanity \u2014 blood and bodily fluids and all.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image

Nicole herself said, \u201cI’ve had to just chip away at my insecurities, at my ego, at my fears. You can’t have any vanity when you’re just pretty much laying it all out on the line, with the worst lighting and snot laying down your face. I\u2019m obviously not wearing any costumes, I’m barefoot, I’ve got a camera on me with a 65-ft. screen. It’s a bit scary.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image

However, as it’s paid off, Nicole said, “I have grown so much in so many ways, and I’ve healed so much. I’m forced to look at these insecurities and these fears every night within this character, that I’m getting in tune with and in touch with. And because of that, in a weird way, it’s healed a lot of my stuff in the past issues that I’ve had.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-text
