“I’ve never met a girl like Annie Brown.”
I’m grateful to talk to you about it.
I really believe in it and I’m so, so, so proud of what it is.

I hadn’t read it until there was the idea about the show happening and me playing Annie.
It felt like exactly the medicine that our nation needs, that television needs, and that I need.
She sees a tremendous hope for her nation.

She sees a time for where this is over.
She sees a time where Onion will be free.
So she inspired me in that way.
Onion, I know!"
You want to be intelligent, cool, and dreamy for that person, and have hope and desire.
Was it a similar experience for you with him?Let me say, working with Josh was amazing.
I found him truly inspiring and brilliant to work with.
Working with young people is really amazing because they’re not stuck.
All of that was really, really fun.
And my favorite scene is actually when we’re in the roof doing Shakespeare.
That was somehow the most fun I’d ever had.
All of those moments were really intimate and special and felt really creative and spontaneous.
I hope to work with my dad my whole life.
We didn’t have to add an extra scene it was just there.
It’s very easy.
It’s so strange and hilarious and weird.
I found it so breathtaking and exciting to watch play out in real time.
It did feel homey and like family.
And I needed that, I needed that deep dive, I needed that scene work.
