On Working With Allison Janney & Viola Davis — “It’s incredible. It’s slightly intimidating being next to these award winning actresses whom I look up to and love so much, but they’re so nice, and I really loved getting to work with them. Just being on the set with them, it was a learning experience. They didn’t even have to tell me anything, just watching how they acted on set and how amazing they are.”
