00:00I was never the ingenue in my entire career until I turned, I don't know, 45.
00:07And then it was like, and now we want you to be naked.
00:11And I'm like, y'all wait until now.

00:42But I really love my job right now.
00:45I love my job right now.
00:46During the sit-down moderated by THR's Mikey O'Connell,
00:49the six actresses spoke about everything from the state of television today.
00:53There is imagination here, and there are great writers.
00:56So why aren't the decisions being made for more humor and humanity and story,
01:03and to make it an event again?
01:05With White Lotus, people were like, oh my God, we watch it every week.
01:08And they were just so excited for the cooler water cooler talk.
01:14Dealing with misogyny in the industry.
01:16And maybe this is just like in the culture at large,
01:18such a celebration of men who are like, really go for it.
01:22Yeah.
01:22And are like, they did a crazy thing to everyone.
01:26And everyone's like, wow, they must take this so seriously.
01:29And I've witnessed some of that, but more just heard about it more
01:33and have thought that if I ever did that, it would not end well.
01:38And like, that still happens.
01:41And even living a long life and making the most of it.
01:44I'm old.
01:45You know, I didn't die young.
01:48And the terrible tragedy of dying,
01:50and the reason that I want to live as long as I possibly can
01:54and continue working as long as I possibly can,
01:57exactly what Kerry says, the adventure of it.
