Sandra Oh asks herself “What would Villanelle do?” in her daily life: “Sometimes I’ll just do something that seems to be outside of my comfort zone because Villanelle is also part of me”
I want to reach through this screen and touch you. I’m going to start with asking a question about “Little Fires Everywhere,” which I loved. I’m so glad you and Reese did it. Can you talk a little bit, I’m interested to know, about the nuts and bolts of the process of how you and Reese came together?Reese read Celeste Ng’s beautiful novel. We’ve been casual friends for a long time. So she emailed me and said, “I found the thing for us.
So even at the beginning of Season 3 for “Killing Eve,” I had pitched Suzanne Heathcote, our showrunner. I was like, “Listen, I see Eve on a moped in Cambodia.” It was very important for her to feel anonymous.Can you speak a little bit about your experience on “Scandal”? Can you talk about the bits that you feel that you carry now in your elbow, your knee, your hips?For one, when you do that many seasons of television, I don’t feel like there’s anything that I haven’t been asked to make real.
I felt like I, too, was very protective of Olivia Pope — and devoted. Maybe that’s the right word: I was so devoted to her. I have to say, I was inspired by performances like yours. You showed me the kind of honesty and depth that was possible. And it did mean sometimes that I would go to the writers and ask for changes, but I think I learned also how to try to be a real partner. I wanted to be a partner with Shonda, so I learned to lead with the good stuff.

Sandra Lee, Please Love My Key Lime Pie Jell-O ShotsUntil I was alerted to this video, by way of Jezebel alum Bobby Finger’s Twitter account, of Sandra Lee sprucing up box mac and cheese by adding different cheese and a possibly fatal amount of pepper, I was only dimly aware of who a person called Sandra Lee was. That gap in my cooking knowledge was so vacuous I’m now deeply ashamed of anything I ever cooked before I entered the world of Semi-Homemade. Bobby’s tweet introduced me to a world where box mix instructions were only suggestions and white chocolate paired deliciously with polenta. Sandra Lee’s cooking reminds me of my favorite Southern holiday foods, like crockpot meatballs simmered in BBQ sauce and grape jelly, or a ranch dressing mix cream cheese ball rolled in also potentially lethal amounts of black pepper. Her willingness to play loosely-goosey with the thin line between ill-advised and absolutely delicious speaks directly to my Louisiana roots. So when I realized I had everything in my home to create my own recipe for key lime pie flavored Jell-O shots, I set about attempting to make Sandra Lee proud whilst getting drunk in the process, which I hope will make her doubly proud.
