Kiernan Shipka Covers the May Issue of Nylon
Kiernan Shipka is on the cover of Nylon Magazine. The star is on the cover of the magazine’s May issue, also know as their Gen Z issue.
In the issue, Kiernan talks her hit Netflix show, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, being surrounded by strong women, playing Sabrina and so much more. Highlights can be found below.
On how Sabrina is just like every other teenager in the world: “All the experiences that Sabrina is going through are so analogous of a traditional teenage experience—just with some witch stuff. Just with some demon-y things.”
On how she felt she was made to play Sabrina: “It’s so funny, sometimes with characters you feel like you have to really work and fine-tune to find their voice, to find them, to figure them out to make sense of this person. 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 being surrounded by strong women: “I grew up with strong women all around me. I feel really lucky to have grown up in an environment that was inherently feminist. I grew up much like Sabrina, being told that I’m capable of whatever I want to be capable of, that I can do anything.” What this afforded her was the opportunity to develop her sense of self, to have confidence about who she is, and an understanding that those people who would try to take her, or anyone like her, down are just another example of “men being afraid of powerful women. I grew up being told that I’m capable of whatever I want to be capable of, that I can do anything. There were no doubts thrown at me.”
