Monica Lewinsky

And I'm able to live my life the way I live my life now because of some of the choices that she made that were absolutely...

self-serving because she was looking for her own survival but the consequences of having such a young parent and her doing something like that meant she was working a lot of jobs she was doing a lot of things and so i was by myself a lot and so it wasn't exactly conducive to like great parenting but it was what she needed to do to survive so i have a lot of you know sympathy for it um and the same time i have a lot of i would say battle scars from from just trying to survive it

And here's Allison Janney.

It's interesting because I was thinking about, you know, I did not watch The West Wing until just a few years ago after I got to know Aaron.

I think because it came out right after 1998.

And I was like, no more White House.

And always terrified that, you know, there might be an intern joke in there or something, which there wasn't.

But it was...

I think the character of C.J.

Craig is one of the best women characters he's drawn.

And I was curious around, because you were in your late 30s, early 40s, and you're sort of... You're baked as a person in many ways at that point.

Do you feel like...

You influenced who C.J.

Craig was or C.J.

influenced you?

Because I feel there's like when you're with you, it's so easy to remember that character that you've played.

Oh, yeah.

Up now is activist Tarana Burke.

In your memoir, in Unbound, you talked about this thing I was so fascinated by, that you called it cover sin when you were a kid.

And I was like, this is some interesting trauma math.
