What drew you to "The Horror of Dolores Roach"? I watched the entire series yesterday, and I loved it.

It's a binger, right? Once you start, it's like, "Oh, man." The storytelling is filled. It's terrific writing, and the story is a good story with a landscape of wonderful characters. They have these wonderful actors in it. They look like real people. There was one thing that got me — the characters look like real people, and I thought, "Wow, that's fun and very diverse." You know me — I was always big on that. Even with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," I was like, "We're in New York. We want it to look like New York," so everybody could see themselves.

The population of their story [in "The Horror of Dolores Roach"] is diverse. The people behind the scenes were diverse. It was fantastic. And the writers — it was such a creative process. To stand behind the camera and watch, they used really modern technology to do it. You notice how pretty it is?

It doesn't look like anything else that's on the screen at the moment.

It's the [director of photography] and how they decided to work on it — the production, the producers, and of course Aaron Mark and Dara Resnik. Aaron, he's a fantastic writer. The writing team that they had was fantastic, because when you have dialogue that sounds like it was generated in your head, or the head of the character that you are becoming, then that's a lot of fun. That was really a lot of fun for me. 

Creating my character [Ruthie] with the wardrobe guy ... we went shopping together, and I had a lot of fun with him. ... I wanted to have gray hair. I went shopping for a wig because I get wigs sometimes. When you go on tour and you want to come back with a hair on your head, sometimes you have wigs instead of messing your own hair up. When I walked into the shop and I saw this gray wig, I was like, "Got to have that. Got to have gray hair."
