Love this interview: “I understand why rural people are so mad they want to blow up the system,” she says. “That contempt of urban culture for half the country. I feel like I’m an ambassador between these worlds, trying to explain that if you want to have a conversation you don’t start it with the words, ‘You idiot.’”

“I think I maybe have a better understanding of women than Dickens,” she hoots. “I’ll claim that.”
