I love your character on “Big Love” because she’s sort of a bitch. Do you think she’s a bitch? I do, but I think that’s kind of a simplistic view. I get that a lot in the street—that she’s a bitch—and I think it tells a lot more about the person’s character who’s saying that than about her even. Are you saying that I’m a bitch for saying that? No, it is true that she’s very manipulative and jealous and has lots of traits that you could say are bitchy, but of course playing the character, you have to love her and believe that everything she does is right....
