And I don’t think of them as mother roles, I think of them as women who happen to be mothers who are dealing with whatever struggles they’re dealing with. And then even in Valley Girl, I played a mother, but they’re all just so different and colorful. And in The Lodge, I played a really disturbed mother. In Killing of a Sacred Deer I’m a mother as well, but a different kind – she’s a grown child and all desperate and weird, what a juicy part that was. She was a complicated character and I loved that. Every part that comes along I look at it and go, what can I do with this, can I have fun with this? Is it going to be interesting? In American Woman I played a mother but I also had this really wild existence. And it’s nice because she’s also getting married, she’s found a partner, so there’s a lot of joy there for her too. You just have to find moments for yourself, to gather yourself, and there’s a lot of that on the show.
That's why she's freaking out in the beginning, she’s working all the time, she has no time to make dinner, she’s bringing pizza, she’s just trying to figure it all out, and she’s spazzing. It’s such a different existence when you have kids and you're working and if you're alone too as a single mom, which my character is and I am too.
