Aidy Bryant and Carrie Brownstein on Why It's Cool to Be Angry

BRYANT: Really good. I’m looking forward to being interviewed.

BROWNSTEIN: No, it was a great answer. And I was going to say the same thing. I think there’s a different kind of pressure if you know that you’re embarking on a final season, to make some kind of thesis statement or summation, when really, as you’re saying, life asks more questions than answers. And it’s not like on our deathbeds we’re like, “I did it. And, scene.”BROWNSTEIN: Is there a show that you’re a fan of, that you loved the conclusion of?.

The second season, I really was like, “Oh. I trust so many of the people around me. I can let go of my death grip and take a moment to be a performer right now.” And that made it so much better. BRYANT: What a beautiful compliment from a friend I respect as an actor and a director. And a writer, wow! The first season, it was all just so raw for me at times, like the pool party episode. It was like, “I’ve lifted this and I can rip it wide open.” And I feel like the second season, I was a little more thoughtful about it.

BROWNSTEIN: Yeah, and it’s hard not to have it be characterized from outsiders as being out of control. It’s like, “Wait, but I don’t feel out of control. My emotions are just very big right now.” I think the minute someone says, “Oh, but you’re out of control,” it puts a stop to it, and you feel a lot of shame. But I think with reflection, you’re like, “No. I actually feel very much in control. It’s just being expressed in this way that’s threatening to you, or threatening to the culture.

For this show, it was a really nice balance of feeling like we’re acknowledging this character’s experience, which is a fat woman navigating the world, but also we’re giving her pieces of her life that aren’t just about her being fat. And for any person who represents any piece of anything on screen, there’s a way where that just becomes the entire story for them. Whether it’s the color of their skin or their orientation, or anything.

Younger sister remembers Ma'Khia Bryant: 'She wanted to grow up and be great'Ja'Niah Bryant lost her best friend on April 20 when her older sister was fatally shot by a police officer outside their foster home in Columbus, Ohio. In an exclusive TV interview with ABC News' Eva Pilgrim for 'Good Morning America,' Ja'Niah described 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant as her 'other half.' 'We did everything together,' Ja'Niah, 15, said. Yahoo, now let's see some stories on the girl who was moments away from getting stabbed by Ma'Khia Bryant. What kind of civilized person would name their kids Ma'Khia and Ja'Niah. Reminds me of a Negro woman who craved Jello while in labor and named her twins Lemonjello and Oranjello. True story. So charge the other girls. I'm fine with that. However, this girl still screwed up by attempting to murder someone directly in front of a police officer. Clearly not a good idea.
