Here is an excerpt from the interview:

In the series, Tara is a strong and uncompromising woman battling not only the supernatural, but also her own demons that resulted from her growing up with an alcoholic mother. Though she frequently lashes out at those around her, her more vulnerable side often pierces her fiery nature.

“When I auditioned for Tara, I immediately saw past her anger,” Wesley said. “You can scream all day long. That would be the easy way to play her. I see Tara more as a flower, a broken woman. People want her to do well, and she doesn’t know how. I try to make her softer. She is tortured, incredibly hard to play.”
