There’s a line in All Her Fault where fellow mother Jenny (Dakota Fanning) says to Marissa: “I’m tired of being amazing. I don’t want to be amazing any more,” which feels like it could be the internal monologue for an entire generation of tired women. Why do you think it resonates?

I really loved that line too! It resonates for Marissa and for me. It’s a very simple line, and something I’m consciously aware of saying to my own girlfriends when they’re under pressure and trying to manage family and their own career, saying: ‘Wow, you’re doing amazingly.’ I hope it’s taken as it’s meant rather than a hollow statement.

In the show we see women give up things that are important because of their family. How do you experience that prioritisation?

Even just this week, doing press, I haven’t been as available to my daughter as she may have needed. My husband and I were discussing whether, if the tables were turned, because he’s a very present father and often has done the primary parenting for us in the last two years, she would have been as ratty and in need of me personally. But I think when they’re young, they really do need mum, or whoever they see as that maternal figure in their life.

It also highlights the default assumption that the domestic load falls to the woman. Have you found a way to ensure it feels equitable for you?

I’ve been fairly lucky in that my husband was a single parent with his son, so they co-parented, and I think that put him into a different kind of routine of just getting shit done. There are some things in our household I know that I never do: I don’t do the rubbish but I know it gets done, and the washing he does a lot faster than me. But the toilet paper: I always buy that. I think the main thing we’ve worked on is, for me particularly, just to say: ‘I’m not going to do it. It will get done; it doesn’t have to be on my timeline.’ Don’t be the expert. Rather than picking it up and adding to my own plate, it’ll get done
