Every member of the Doom Patrol cast has a difficult task. The characters they portray are defined by the damage they've suffered, and almost every actor is acting with a physical impediment of some kind. While Diane Guerrero gets to avoid the extensive make-up and prosthetics required for characters like Robotman or Negative Man, she has to contend with her own challenges - namely, playing Crazy Jane and her sixty-four distinct personalities.

It's something Guerrero handles with gusto, and the actress was more than happy to open up about during a Q&A following a presentation screening of the show's first few episodes. While speaking with us, Guerrero opens up about the specific difficulties of playing the character, what the role has taught her about herself, and how it's reinforced the importance of self-care in herself.

"I'm still working on it," Guerrero admitted when asked what it's like to balance sixty-four separate personalities. "Thank God, they haven't written all sixty-four in yet. Which is good, I haven't done all my homework yet. It's a challenging role, I think it's something I've always wanted. I just wanted one character that was dynamic and complex and multi-dimensional, as if that's so much to ask. Sometimes it is. But then something crazy happens, and you get sixty four-four.

"Then [the directors and producers] go 'do it! Do the thing! Do the thing that you like to do!' I just have been listening and reading, kind of letting my body lead the characters. I keep a journal, I read as much as I can. And I kind of just see what happens, and then someone says, 'Yes, Jane good, and now Jane bad,' and I take it from there."

One of the ways she's helping herself to get a hold on Jane's different personalities is by creating a distinct playlist for each one. "I have a range from Metallica and Misfits to Backstreet Boys and Brittney Spears. It's wild. Every persona has sort of her own soundtrack, and that also helps a little bit."

What surprised her the most about the role, however, is just how much the character speaks to her on a personal level. Guerrero said she was shocked by "how much I related to Jane. I was surprised when I read the character, I said, 'My goodness, this is so human. This is so me... what caused her to split personalities was her childhood trauma, and that's just so true of a lot of us who are dealing with mental health issues. That she uses those personalities, and that they came to her defense as a way of survival, it just reminds me every day that we're all surviving. We have multiple selves that come to the rescue when we need them."

"It's made me much more appreciative of who I am and what I have," she continued. "It makes me appreciate mental health, and knowing that seeking the truth and finding more about yourself, and dealing with what's happened and who you are and what's to come is important.

"As much as Jane tries not to care, because she's trying to hold the fort down. She's literally trying to not let the other personalities surface because they're dangerous, because they're not balanced and they sort of just go for what they want. She's a little tight," Guerrero admitted. "It's the last thing I just discovered the other day, that she has a lot of love to give. So she finds some community and she finds family with these other crazy people, and she doesn't feel so alone and finds her place there. We can all find our place and our people, and help each other."
