“I am so excited about things going on in my personal life and kind of the mirroring of what’s going on in my personal life and in Rollins’, there’s a lot of joy to be experienced,” she toldVariety.
“I started playing her in my late 20s, so I’ve played her in three decades of my life, which is nuts. It’s insane,” she added. “This is a show unlike any other. Shows don’t last 12 years, much less getting to play a character. With playing someone as multifaceted as Rollins, I got to play all kinds of different things — down and out, on top, joyful, doubtful, scared, triumphant. I got to do the gambit.”
