Hi.
I'm wonderful. Thank you so much for having me. We're so excited to have you. Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my God. Thank you.
Yeah, no, especially because I was playing mom roles before I was a mom. So it was more just relating to it in the sense of I have four younger siblings. They're my whole world. I would do anything for them. So that was the closest I could get. But then, yeah, now I am actually a mom.
You know what happened? And I think, okay, so look, my daughter, she'll be two in a month. So we're still like, I mean, not totally beginning phases, but like she's still very little. I just felt like I was such a sap. Like I just felt like I was so weepy all season. And like that, I was like, God damn it, Breanne. Like, no, no, no, that wasn't the move. Like, so hopefully that will change.
I think it was just like the first year going back at it, like just back to work and everything. But I felt like it made me too soft almost. Yeah. Interesting. Which isn't great for Georgia. Like, everything is too relatable. Almost. Like, some of the stuff for this upcoming season, it gets so dark, in my opinion. Again, I was maybe too sensitive this past season.
I mean, it... It, like, broke my heart. She murders people. Yes. Yes. And, like, yeah. Wait till you see... Yeah. Like, halfway through this season, everything that goes on... I mean, Georgia, like, all of the consequences come to the surface this season. Like... she gets in a lot of trouble.
Oh, 100 percent. I mean, I like first and foremost, of course, Georgia is very polarizing. But like as someone playing Georgia, I would never judge her like in no way, shape or form. Yeah, I have to. I love her and respect her. All of her shortcomings are only because she has a very limited toolbox. But I admire the amount of space she takes up.
Like I feel like who knows what I could have accomplished if I took up that much space all the time for my whole life. So I love that about her. And I love like the first when I read the pilot for the first time, it was the scene where she like punches the kid in the face.
Well, she doesn't really punch him, but like she twists his nose a little bit and like the, you know, her son punches him, but like I've had a little far for sure. But like I've had with my siblings told me someone was mean to them at school or something, the rage I feel inside. And I can only imagine once my daughter's old enough.
You know, I mean, probably only bad things, unfortunately. Like I, before I was a mom, I thought like the most annoying thing about Georgia was how all over Ginny she was and she's always in her space and like the entitlement that she expects to know everything about Ginny. I was like, I mean, that's it's crossing a line. This is toxic, blah, blah, blah.
But now that I have an almost two year old, I'm like, nope, she's going to go to UCLA. We're going to have lunch every day. She's going to tell me everything I need to know. I need to know everything. No, I'm going to go to bed reading her text messages. She's not allowed to go do.
I'm like, of course she's going to watch Elmo right now. What are you talking about? Of course we're doing screen time. And before, I'm like, no, we will never have a phone out at a dinner. Ever. And now I'm like, queue up, Miss Rachel. It's time. Get the iPad. And now she goes iPad. And I'm like, oh, no.
Yeah. It's an interesting point because it's also like this will be my first time going into a fourth season, like doing our third season. That was my first time doing a third season of anything. Yeah, so you can't anticipate where these things are going or where the story's going, especially. I tend to stay in my lane. I appreciate, I think it's every now and then they will ask, of course.
And maybe on other shows, it is a little bit more of a collaboration at times. But I think for us with Ginny and Georgia, it's so specific, especially like with Georgia and her cadence. I love the way that they write for Georgia. It's so beautiful. So for the most part, I pretty much, they've gotten us this far. I really just trust them and-
I am impressed and I don't know how they come up with this stuff. Our creator and writer's room is amazing. Are you the type of actor who, like, do you want to watch it back? No, you don't. No, I do because I think it's so important and like we have to, you know, come talk about the show and like it's nice to know. You do so many different versions, so many different takes.
It's fun to see, of course, how it all shakes out. But I for sure, I still struggle with being objective. I don't know how people do that. It's so hard. I'll still be like, oh, I wish I did it this way or why'd they choose that take or I'm holding that thing weird or like whatever. I don't know. For sure.
So, I mean, this is where I feel lucky that like There is. So like I grew up with a young single mom. It's just was kind of kismet. There's so much of my mom and her energy in this character. Like I feel like I kind of grew up as Ginny a little bit. Like my mom had me at 21. We didn't have any boundaries. So so much of what was on the page I could relate to.
It just wasn't I think a lot of what was jarring in Ginny and Georgia just wasn't that jarring for me. I think because like I have had some of those conversations. Yeah. And I have so many younger siblings. With my parents, we married and had more, so I have half siblings. But we have larger age gaps. So then I've always sort of felt like an aunt to them also in a way.
Somehow it was just kind of... Natural. Okay.
