“’Does it bother you that Annalise isn’t nice?’ They really want her to be nice. They really want her to be warm. That’s the question. And in different kinds of variations I get that question… I say, ‘why does she have to be warm? Why does she have to be nice? And why are you asking me that question?‘ Would you have confronted James Gandolfini on the street and said, ‘why isn’t Tony Soprano warm and fuzzy?’ Or Robert De Niro or Joe Pesci in any of the Martin Scorsese movies and say, ’why did you kill that person with a baseball bat in the bar?’ It’s a question that’s definitely for women. It’s hard when people feel you’re not nice. Then they feel they can’t validate you in a way, or that whoever you are is not valid, and I disagree with that.”
