The “Big Little Lies” star is fully embracing the challenge as she steps into Joplin’s shoes.

In conversation with the podcast host, The Divergent actress stated, “It’s been really exciting. It’s been over six years of putting it together. To me, it’s important to do these things with a lot of integrity and a lot of care. Janis is someone I’ve always deeply respected and admired, like the spirit in her, the soul she was on this planet, and kind of the light that she was on this planet.”

She further added, “It’s been a really fun journey getting to know her better through the process of finding all the creative elements.”

Elaborating about her experience working with Perry, Woodley claimed, “I’m not like a trained singer, but I feel and I can sing in my shower. It turns out I can also sing outside of the shower, which I didn’t know until I started working on the Janis project and working with Linda Perry, who’s an amazing music producer and musician herself.”
