Michelle Williams

Mm-hmm.

One of the other things I was thinking about is, you know, when I was coming of age, of course we know, like, sex is for everyone as a consenting adult. But really, the message that you're told as a woman is that sex is for men and that you're performing for them. This series actually made me kind of think about that in new ways at this old age that I hadn't thought about. What about for you?

When you're talking about Brooklyn, where you guys live. No, I think I know what you mean because I have an 18-year-old daughter. And every time I listen to she and her friends, I think like, wow. I mean, they're just so far and beyond where I was at that age. That's what I think.

Thinking back to something you were saying about friendship and that communal connection that you've been able to foster and feel with friends, your eldest daughter, Matilda's dad, is the late Heath Ledger. And you've spoken so beautifully about your friend and award-winning actor, Jeremy Strong. Yes.

How he was such a strong presence in your life after Heath's death, almost like he moved in quite literally and became what you needed in that moment. Can you share what it meant to have a friend like that during such a profound time in your life?

What did that look like? Because I think you said, like, you described Jeremy as serious enough to hold the weight of a child's broken heart, which is so powerful, and sensitive enough to approach her through play.

You were 16 years old, right, when the series started? I was, yes, 16. Yes. It just sounds like it was a big moment for you in understanding who you are and your taste. What was it about that experience that kind of was that flashpoint for you?
