00:18Ferreira, who played Kat on HBO's hit high school drama,

00:21says the reports of the details surrounding her exit was really rough for me.

00:30I don't know if it was going to do her justice, and I think both parties knew that.

00:33I really wanted to be able to not be the fat best friend.

00:36I don't want to play that, and I think they didn't want that either.

00:39The actress noted that the ensemble's size, Levinson's own writing interests, and her vision complicated things too much.
