On thoughts when she read the series finale script:
“Are you f–king kidding me?”
On her character Shiv:
“I was sad for Shiv. She just tried so f–king hard, and ended up where she is in this kind of gilded cage, next to the thing that she wants. And the journey’s not over for her. It’s not over for any of them, but still, she’s in the orbit of the CEO, and that will be really painful for her.”
On what’s next for Shiv:
“Quite a deep postpartum depression. I think the baby thing is really about to hit in a way that is inescapable.”
On crying during the finale because her Succession life is over:
“I’ll never have an opportunity to speak those lines, or get given new lines, new jokes, new worlds for Shiv and Roman to exist in together. Just sadness for never getting a moment to play with these brilliant actors again.”
On her pregnancy:
“[It] wasn’t a planned thing. I think the fear from women can be that they will be sidelined, or considered less-than.”
On getting ill during the beginning of her pregnancy and needing her driver to pull over:
“I’m just vomiting violently outside, and thinking, ‘It’s so visibly me. It’s Shiv, totally projectile vomiting outside the door, with oncoming traffic.”
On not getting the lead role on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo:
“[It was] only disappointing in the way of I didn’t win — but it wasn’t a disappointment in terms of my life.”
Annabelle Dexter-Jones also opened up about her experience on the show.
