It’s very hard to be a person, and Don is in a crisis. And I think there’s very little that Betty does … everyone has a reason for what they’re doing. It all comes from a human place. I’m maybe more forgiving than the audience is, because they love the feeling of saying sometimes, ‘Oh, this is so disgusting, so disgusting. [But if] he’d knock my door right now I’d fuck him for an hour.’

Watching Mad Men lately has been quite traumatic for me….I love Betty, my heart breaks for her, Don disappoints me, Pete Campbell disgusts me yet I feel so sorry for him…the show makes me terrified of marriage… I could go on and on…I can’t believe I’m reading this much into this, but apparently I’m not the only one…
