This interview in the 21 March 1990 edition of Smash Hits (Australia) is the only interview I have found so far in which Trini Alvarado refers to her role in Times Square. If you are aware of another, please let me know!

"Times Square" Fandom 
Hey, I love your Times Square blog. I love everything about Times Square. Even “Help Me”.
Thank you! I’m so happy to be contributing to the fandom. I’m glad you love Times Square. But “Help Me”? Sister, you’re more hardcore than I!
I don’t even think she ever listed Times Square on the movies she had done. At least here she says Satisfaction wasn’t good and not Times Square!
BTW, I like “Help Me”. I think it sounds kinda sad and a good way to end the movie. There may not be many who agree but I stick with my opinion.
It’s certainly the first mention of Times Square that I’ve seen in one of her interviews. She was certainly the best thing in Satisfaction; I thought she and Britta Phillips were pretty cute together.
And you seem to have a few people on your side of the “Help Me!” debate!
I think the number one reason I love “Help Me” is just because it’s part of Times Square, I’ve seen it so many times, it just wouldn’t be the same without it. Also, I think lyrically, it fits the movie. And, as someone who was a 15 year old girl when Times Square came out, I can tell you I was listening to Blondie and The Pretenders and The Cars, and Olivia Newton-John too! It fits the time period. One more thing, Marcy Levy was in a group called Shakespear’s Sister in the 90’s.
