One of the great things about this cast is that we've been able to take actors of relatively the same age group that would never usually meet. You know, like bridging the comedy/drama world that for some reason casting directors never really want to bridge or you get into one community and that's kind of it.

True badassery has no gender.

I find that a lot of my best character stuff and ideas come unwittingly from novels. In scripts, it's a lot about the outward signs of whatever's happening - you have the end result. Whereas in a novel you get a buildup of the whys and wherefores, and you're let into the backstory.

Sitting out of politics isn't really an option if you don't want things to slide.

There's a lot more historical baggage to deal with as a wife than as a partner.

When you're in film and you're in close, charisma in the eyes and confidence can take over. But when someone's sitting twenty rows back, you need the whole body. You need to be encompassed by an actor.

I think a lot of people try to plan things in their career. They feel like, If I don't get this done by the time I'm thirty, everything's over. But I've worked with a lot of people whose careers shot to the top later in life.

When women are in positions of power it's a hard place to be, especially when that position involves bossing men around.

But it's been funny to try and carry the through line, but I think the main thing is the relationship that the band has because we have spent now all this time together that I think that's sort of what we returning to. And whenever we get to play together, it still sort of returns to that little shitty rehearsal space. So that's good.

Well, it's sort of funny to try and get that balance between just accepting the reality of my friend [co-star Satya Bhabha] flying in from the ceiling of the theatre and like starting to do a dance with demon hipster chicks. It's like, so how do we react when he throws fireballs? Are we surprised? Does this happen a lot?

One of my favorite things in watching an actor is feeling, The story is safe in your hands. I can lean back and trust you with this.
