Sonequa Martin-Green on "The Walking Dead" Season 6's Heart-Wrenching Return, Negan's Arrival4 of 9
We last saw Sasha, Daryl, and Abraham facing men who said everything they own now belongs to Negan. A newer Episode 9 promo shows Sasha trying to talk to "the man," who says they usually just introduce themselves by "popping one of you right off the bat." What can you say about how Sasha is feeling in that moment? And what can you tease about the rest of that scene?
In that moment, there are so many things going through my mind as Sasha. These men, they're bad news. They mean to harm, and that spurs me into action, and I'm ready to die for our survival. I sacrificed myself, in a sense, to lead walkers away in the first place, because I'm ready for that. I'm ready to engage. I'm ready to be a part of something, to give my heart. For the first time ever, I've finally come out of the dark, and I'm ready to be in the light and be with people that I love. And of course, Abraham decided to sacrifice himself and do this with me, and obviously Daryl's there as well. So, we're all ready. We will do anything. When you're faced with that kind of danger, things get — at least for me — things get really focused. Things get very easy in those moments.
