This feels good and it’s so ridiculous and crazy, I’m just going to embrace it."
I think she loves them each at certain times, you know?
I’m sure we’ve all been in that situation where you’re not sure.
I think Rowan’s main thing in this season is herself.
So I think she likes them both depending on what suits her better in the moment.

She likes the excitement of this otherworldly creature.

I really love the scenes where we’re all together and sort of a dysfunctional family.
This child is born [and] how do these family members react to all of this?
I just loved all the women and men who played my family members.
I’d love for them all to come back and really get a higher sense of dysfunction.
