I have tender, romantic associations with upstate New York.

I listened more than I asked. There's a lot of information online, so many Youtube videos, countless interviews with all those obvious questions that were all answered for me. I just wanted to absorb her essence. I wanted to see the details, she has such mad style. I just wanted to see - the way she communicates with her hands, these gestures, her smile, how she moves through space.

I've done TV, but never where you're given this much time to live with a character, to study the tone and hone it and repair stuff, to go back and watch old episodes and go, "Oh no, that's a misstep. That's a victory. I should do more of that, less of that."

In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.

We take a lot for granted as second wave feminists, what our mothers and aunts did for us.

No role is more challenging, rewarding and inspiring than my real-life role as a mom and a wife.

Music is what our feelings sound like.
