“I feel like guys often get the chance to play the anti-hero. If you think about Walter White from Breaking Bad, by the end of that show he’s a despicable human being, but you’re rooting for him and you hate him and love him at the same time. I feel like there are so many more opportunities for men to play those kinds of roles. Characters who don’t fit into a box and are kind of good and bad and ethically murky. I feel like it’s happening more and more for women, but so often you still read roles that fall into “someone’s wife” or “virgin whore.” I love that Laura is a jerk. She’s a real a–hole. Not only that, but she feels no shame about it. Obviously you want to empathize with the character that you’re playing, and so I’ve thought a lot about where her attitude and views come from, but I love the fact that there will be times when the audience won’t empathize with her at all. I think that’s exciting and interesting. Again, you watch The Sopranos and you’re not always like, “Oh, I understand why Tony’s doing all these things he’s doing!” It’s like, no. Sometimes it’s just sh–ty! Sometimes you just do a shitty thing. And that’s how people work.”

Hasan Minhaj explains why Tan France is the Zayn Malik of the fab five.

TRANSCRIPTION
Minhaj: [Tan France] He’s the Zayn Malik of the group, dare I say? Actually, he is the Zayn Malik. You don’t know who Zayn Malik is? This is The Hollywood Reporter?

Now Zayn Malik is probably one of the most powerful, most influential pop stars in the world right now. He’s a British Pakistani heartthrob who, overnight became, dare I say, the most popular member of One Direction? Dating Gigi Hadid, not dating anymore, I don’t keep up with that news anymore, but Zayn, if you see this, I’m a huge fan and you’ve inspired brown people around the world. Truly. I mean, he was a jawline that can cut bread. He’s a crooner, he has a great British accent.

Interviewer: I’m telling you, we’re gonna have a video just on you-

Minjah: Loving Zayn Malik? I’m not ashamed of it. Post it, I’ll plug it on all socials.
