\u201cOverall, I\u2019m here and I\u2019m functioning,\u201d Plaza tells Poehler on the outset of their interview after being requested how she is coping. \u201cI feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I\u2019m OK. But it\u2019s like a daily struggle, obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you see that movie The Gorge<\/em>?\u201d Plaza asks Poehler. \u201cIn the movie, there\u2019s a cliff on one side and then there\u2019s a cliff on the other side, and there\u2019s a gorge in between, and its filled with all these monster people trying to get them,\u201d Plaza says. \u201cAnd I swear when I watched it I was like, \u2018That feels like what my grief is like,\u2019 or what grief could be like \u2026 where it\u2019s like at all times, there\u2019s a giant ocean of awfulness that\u2019s right there and I can see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plaza provides: \u201cAnd sometimes I just want to dive into it, and just be in it, and sometimes I just look at it. And then sometimes I try to get away from it. But it\u2019s just always there, and the monster people are trying to get me, like Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy.\u201d<\/p>\n
