They linger for the actress (of Patti, she says, Sometimes I cant even talk about her.
I just break down) just as they endure on screen.

What did that win mean to you?It meant the world, quite honestly.
But boy, to find out Im included in this conversation, theres just nothing quite like it.
Because so many work so hard all their lives.
Youre filming season 2 ofThe Handmaids Talenow.
Whats it been like coming back to work after so much recognition for the show?Everyones excited.
We love the work and the material and the people we work with.
I wish I had a more original way of saying it, but everybody is full on.
Theyre good at their jobs, man…
It was a tremendous way to begin season 2.
So I thought, Okay, so what does this mean now?
And he just said, Yes, itll be at the end, probably one episode, probably Australia.
I dont ask questions beyond that.
Sit with the disappointment and then let go.
You dont want this show to end.
Its ending for you.
Appreciate it and then let go.
Let go of attachment, which was one of Pattis huge things.
It just kept dovetailing into my life.
Your role onGood Behaviorhas also expanded this season.
It was something simple like that.
And I love the idea.
Do you enjoy the chance to lighten up a bit?
Yes, its wonderful to lighten up and its also terrifying.
Its not a terrain Im familiar with in my working life.
Like Lydia and Patti, Lashever is a forceful personality.
Is that a persona youre drawn to?I cant tell you how much.
I just feel comfortable and happy to explore them.
I wouldnt have known that, really.
Im a little surprised by it.
And I say, Absolutely not!
Happy to get to know her.
Plus, at the end of the day, for us, its make-believe.
And I think thats important to keep in mind as we play it.
Have you seen a change in roles for women?Yeah.
Were not competing for two spots here.
The world is opening up.
Lets all get in there.
