What means more to her?
DEADLINE:From the start of the series, its very clear that Quinn is fiercely independent.
L-R: Minka Kelly as Quinn and Josh Duhamel as Staten in ‘Ransom Canyon’Anna Kooris/Netflix
How you balance that for her character in the show?
MINKA KELLY:Thats a great question.
So you think you want to really believe in someone.

I can relate to falling in love with someones potential, which is a really dangerous thing.
Thats the problem with putting anyone on a pedestal.
Did you trained for the piano?
How did you want to bring that to life?
KELLY:Thats kind of the beauty of this job.
It was a dream come true.
I had a piano teacher in Albuquerque that I worked with.
KELLY:It was wonderful to work with her.
It was just so easy.
I didnt audition with her.
She just showed up to set, and was so fun to work with.
I felt so lucky that I got to work with her.
I mean, what a legend.
Its okay to choose you.
And it was really, really touching to have her give me that.
So its easier for them to bicker with each other.
With Davis, its like, you know, shes trying to maybe do something different and choose differently.
And on paper, this one looks like the right one.
So shes a little more guarded with him.
DEADLINE: How did you approach the scenes with Davis ex wife Paula Jo portrayed by Meta Golding?
KELLY:Isnt meta amazing?
Yes, she was so fun to work with!
I dont mean to look at you like that or talk to you.
And Im like, No girl.
You are killing it.
Give it to me.
I am remembering not to be intimidated.
DEADLINE:Well I feel like you match it in your own maybe quieter way.
KELLY:Thank you.
One thing I will not ever do is compete with a woman, period.
Were not here two women trying to out power each other.
DEADLINE:In the end, Quinn does choose herself.
Shes going to New York for six months.
I dont think she wanted to have another go.
Their last encounter was that fight.
DEADLINE:I also felt the complications of her having to break up with Davis.
How does that scene contrast with how she leaves things with Staten?
It just was one of those things where Im just so sorry.
We never really had a chance, even though I really wanted to.
