'Chilling Adventures' Star Kiernan Shipka Opens Up About Playing Sabrina

Kiernan Shipka is on the cover of Nylon‘s May 2019 digital cover, out now.

Here’s what the 19-year-old Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star had to say…

On playing Sabrina: “I feel almost a responsibility to play characters that are strong and multidimensional. They don’t have to be perfect; that’s not the point. The point is that we’re human.”

On experience: “All the experiences that Sabrina is going through are so analogous of a traditional teenage experience—just with some witch stuff.”

On feeling connected to her character: “For some reason, I just felt like I was Sabrina. I just felt like we were made for each other in a lot of ways.”

On roles in Hollywood: “It is a powerful time in a lot of ways. The female roles are feeling stronger than ever; feeling powerful. The world feels like it’s listening in a lot of ways that feel new, and like a new era.”
