00:00Massive 12 months for you. I mean, two massive shows, huge audiences, people absolutely loving it, getting to see different sides of you. A lot of screaming on screen. A lot of screaming on screen. A lot of fake blood. I need a break from the fake blood. There's a little break. Really? Well, good luck. I think they've already ordered another series of this, haven't they? Yeah, yeah, they have. Yeah. Talk me through kind of reactions from your perspective of the first series. You're trying to create a new audience, also keep a lot of gaming fans happy. They can be pretty picky.
00:29As they've proved over the years. But you seem to have hit the right note on this. People love it on both sides of the divide. I mean, I can't. That's so lovely to say all those things. Thank you. I can't take any credit for it. I can only. I mean, you're in it. I am in it, yeah. If the main character in the show was rubbish, I don't think they'd be just like, oh, well, it looks lovely, though. Well, that's very kind of you. Thank you. I love this show and I love playing this character and I find her very courageous and really admirable.
00:59And, you know, she's an imperfect person. She has her flaws, but she's fun to play. You know, she's got some of the best lines I've ever said. But it's also getting to work with Walton and Aaron and how incredible our writers are and how much they all love the show.
01:12And how much they're all, you know, trying to do justice to this incredible show that's been around for so many years. You know, I'm just, I'm glad some people like it. And I just feel really lucky to be a part of it, to be honest.
01:22And a different era for her this side. Because the first series, you see her kind of emerging from this world. It's all she ever known. And she's kind of having to change every day just to survive. Now, I guess, are we going to see a kind of maybe a bolder, self-assured version of Lucy?
01:38Yeah, I think she's finding her feet. I think that she's, um, listen, we pick up with Lucy season two, not far off where we left off season one. Um, and she's on this sort of, uh, road trip with the ghoul. Um, and they're getting on each other's nerves.
01:54Because they're so different. And they're also very similar in ways that they don't want to admit to themselves. They don't want to admit to each other. Um, they're very stubborn, you know, and, and Lucy just wants them to be a better person. And he just doesn't care. And wants to just find the father.
02:09Finally, on that relationship, uh, what's it been like spending all this time with Walton Goggins since the last 12 months? Because he's gone through this kind of, this period of his career where all the lights are shining on him suddenly in one time.
02:20Um, it feels like all these kind of chickens that come home to roots. Everyone's been applauding this guy.
02:24I've never heard that expression before. I like that.
02:27Uh, it's been around. I'm just, I'll bring it back.
02:28No, I like that.
02:29I'll mention it in every other interview.
02:30Yeah.
02:30I'm sure people will start talking about it.
02:31No, no, no, no, we'll bring it back. It's going to go viral.
02:32Uh, so what's it been like being around that kind of energy, seeing him kind of have to deal with the spotlight, the world's spotlight in that way?
02:38Well, it's funny. So he was shooting, I think he was shooting White Lotus when we were doing press for season one. And I love White Lotus season one and two. So I kept asking him the whole time what was going to happen.
02:49Um, and of course, because he's very good and very professional, he wouldn't tell me because he probably knew I was going to spoil it at some point. Um, so I'm just happy for him. Yeah, I'm really happy for him.
02:57And I also really enjoyed White Lotus season three. So it's, uh, yeah, I feel very, I don't know, I feel really excited that we're on this journey together.
