When Diane Lockhart returns for thesecond season ofThe Good Fight, shes not the buttoned-up lawyer she once was.
How did you react when you learned Diane would try out micro-dosing this year?I could understand it.
I consider it a bit of a respite for her, not some dereliction.
Tennessee Williams said the secret to happiness is insensitivity.
So, shes seeking alternative relief micro-dosing, throwing caution to the wind, and sleeping with a bartender.
We dont know this Diane, but people are capable of that when theyre pushed to a certain place.
To me, it was such a terrible way to start the day.
I love the consistency of work.
I dont know what Id do if I was an out-of-work actor, just watching cable news all day.
Id go raving mad.
Whats it like working with her?She is just one of the great ladies.
I was thrilled when they said she was coming onto the show.
Shes powerful, shes strong, shes a superb actress, shes a divine colleague.
Shes prepared and shes easy-going and shes everything you would want in a company.
I mean, I look forward to the story lines that they can tell.
We sort of have a falling out, but I expect a lot of dynamic shifts in that relationship.
Its two really powerful women, you know?
- Youre also inMamma Mia!
Here We Go Again,and Jessica Keenan Wynn plays a younger version of your character.
So, I knew she didnt need any advice.
I wouldnt even begin to know how to tell somebody to play me, you know that I mean?
Thats an odd thing to stand back and say, Well, here is what quote-unquote Im like.
I never thought Id be in a movie with her.
They didnt know what hit them when they got famous.
Shes really very self-effacing and open about it.
Another great thing aboutThe Good Fightis the continuing excellence of Dianes costumes.
Do you have a favorite one?This season, I have a lot of favorites.
I mean, its one fantastic jacket after another, I must tell you.
I call myself legal Barbie.
Dan Lawson is the utterly brilliant costume designer on the show.
Hes always dressing me up in these outfits with the great shoes and the great jewelry and the bags.
Half the fun of doing this show is dressing up for it.
They used to do that when I was onCybill.
I play a clothes horse, you know?
I say Diane is like what Angela Merkel would be, if Angela Merkel could wear couture and stilettos.
