8:46 am
>> yes. >> and on the show, i look at this character as somebody who gave up a lot. she gave up -- she was a successful lawyer. she had all these dreams about what she was going to accomplish. she gave it up to get married and to have money and to be a mother. and she's angry. >> all the characters have issues -- >> all the characters have issues on the show. that's something important to the creator, frankie shaw. all the characters are flawed. and you know, they're trying to be kind of real explorations into what it is, the complexities of being a woman. >> i love -- >> being human -- >> i love what a critic said about your charactear -- she is every white lady who's ever cut in front of you at whole foods. >> i've seen those women! >> and went on to say, britton is not in every episode, but i wish she were. she brings tremendous depth to a character that could have easily been a one-dimensional joke. when you get a script like that -- >> does it really say that, every white lady -- >> that is such an accurate

description. >> perfect. >> exactly. >> when you get a script like this, how do you recognize a character that you can do that with? >> well, when i got this script, i was blown away by how -- what different storytelling it was. and what -- what ambitious storytelling it was and it is. and i hadn't heard a voice like frankie shaw's voice, frank whoa created the show, i hadn't heard a voice like that for women really before. and you know, it just felt like an exciting area to go into because as much as i love to play powerful, empowered women -- and i believe that all women are always trying to empower themselves -- but i'm also interested in the things that keep us from finding that power. and it's really interesting to explore that in characters. i saw that in this show. >> and given that you played so many ofse powerful women, how's this character different?
8:48 am
>> well, she is somebody who is living much more in the victimization of her own flaws and of her own traumas, you know. the choices that she's made, she feels a victim to her choices. and nothing -- it's not interesting psychology, but i think also something that might be relatable to more women than you realize. and i think we're at a time now where as women and men we're really looking at ourselves. >> it's smart because for those who don't know what "milf" means, google it. we can't say it on the air -- >> it changes every week. sometimes it means sorry, mom, i've losing faith, and then the traditional things, norah said you have to google. let's talk about frankie shaw. there have been issues on the sight.er" described a production plagued lie allegations of abusive
