Betty Gilpin says working with Alison Brie on 'GLOW' made her better at her job: 'It really changed the way I was at work.'
I’m impressed that you found time to write with a newborn at home. I did almost nothing during my maternity leave except watch a lot of television.
I mean, I certainly did all that too. I have this voice memo that I’m terrified to listen to from when she was nine weeks old. I just remember I recorded myself screaming. I think I was trying to say something to my future self, but I know if I play that voice memo, it’s just going to be all vowels and maybe drones, inexplicably.
It’s what I tried to tackle in the book—that we feel these supernatural feelings, these Greek, roiling, churning, high-stakes feelings, and the only way that they can be filtered out into the world is through a hashtag on a mug. The cutesy mom emails that I would get, like “Hey mama,” “Hey lady….

Obviously I’m not so much of an introvert that I’m a cobbler in Alaska—I’m an actress who wrote a book about herself. I think that the two things can exist at the same time, hopefully—that I’m a private beta who also has this internal stage mom. I think the answer is that I just won’t look at my phone for four months.I just have loved it since I was four.
