"Directing Angelina Jolie is pretty surreal. I mean, she's amazing. You have to kind of look away, you know? You can't look at her directly while she's performing, or your brain goes to mush. But what's even more amazing about her is that she brings to the character. I mean - in all of our sketching, in all of our pretending, we were trying to work out the character on our own. But Tigress, onthe page, was really a secondary character...but not with her on the role. She was complex and there were solid reasons for every choice. She brought warmth to the character. She didn't just come off as the jilted contender who is angry at Po for being there and taking her place. She was supposed to be the Dragon Warrior, and because of Po, she isn't. Her huge spirit and talents as a performer give Tigress all of these layers, and the character really expanded and grew deeper under her touch."
