“I especially want to say to all the feminists, ‘Go f*** yourself.' TheIdol TheIdolHBO
What’s changed, in her mind? “Over the last few years, it’s been a weird experience that makes me a little sad,” she says between sips of her hot matcha latte. “People in that world, some of them, have turned into the scolding schoolmarms that I wanted to be an actress to get away from.”
The experience of a character actor can come down to how you get recognised in public.

Her TV career has never been high-profile—either the show was too niche, or her part too small—but she’s flourished on the small screen, playing witty and strange women who find unique ways of asserting their power. Adams owned the unsung 2010s HBO comedy seriesas the unlikely pimp to a one-night stand , her performance a marvelous amalgamation of sad, sweet, and scary.
