"Well, I instantly Googled her from the '90s, and I was like, Woah, she’s way cuter than I am. I ran into her the next day on a red carpet. We hugged and took pictures together, and then we arranged to talk. She invited me over, but I thought, I’ll talk to her on the phone. We talked for a really long time. I just fell in love with her. She was really forthcoming and told me a lot of things about her friendship with Nicole and what a traumatizing time it was. She lost them both. O.J. was like a brother to her. But what I got most from talking to her is how much she loves her friends and loves her family. I knew she would be a smaller part in this series, but the Kardashians play into the American story, they play into American Crime Story, because it's like foreshadowing of how they are going to be ruling the world in a pop culture way.""There seemed to be so little room for a performance to really hone the essence of Kris. It was really that, before she was the Kris Jenner that everyone knows as ultra-famous momager, she was just a mom that went out to the grocery story and got Snackables and always was making lunch and in the kitchen and most concerned about being a good mom. She was a mom then, and she cared about family then and she still does. She created an empire where she gets to be with the people she loves most every day. Family was always the most important to her.""I think it makes it more human for Robert. These are families. Obviously, Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson’s families were the ones that were most tragically damaged. All the players were going through heartache and confusion. [I asked Kris], 'What did you ever say to Robert? Did you talk to him about the case or were you not allowed to?' She said, 'Yeah, we didn't know if we were bugged. We would pat ourselves down and go out in the driveway and whisper.'... She absolutely did say, ‘What are you doing, Robert?’ in real life. But it was hard, because she also cared for Nicole and O.J.’s kids and [couldn’t] publicly just go out there and say, 'This man’s a murderer.' She’s always been very protective of those children that she was very maternal towards. So, she doesn’t really speak much on what she really thinks. It was interesting to have that little part to say that she thinks he did this.""No, I didn’t read the book until now, but I lived this case. I was alive and grown up, and I followed it. I followed the chase, and I was well aware of what was happening in L.A. at the time and thought of Rodney King. I knew from the get-go, he's being treated as a celebrity and he is going to get off. I remember when that glove went on, and thinking, This is the stupidest thing, of course that glove shrunk. I always felt sick for Marcia Clark, like oh my god, this defense team doesn’t have a chance. They are civil servants going up against this flashy crowd. Yeah, I didn’t feel the need to do any more research at the time. I Googled a few things, but I felt pretty on it on that case.""Ryan Murphy is an amazing storyteller, and this is an amazing story. The main essence of it is the real truth behind what was happening at this time with fame and this culture and this case. But no, not every fact — I think the Kardashians are peppered in there as sort of a reference point to what’s happening now, and a certain bit of almost fun for the audience now to understand fame now and fame then. I think of course it’s fine to have these things that are just bits of a little bit of pop drama. I know people say, 'Oh no, that wasn’t actually Kim’s room he was in, it was Kourtney’s, and they never liked Joey Lawrence,' or whatever. It’s like, okay, this isn’t breaking anyone’s heart. It’s just part of storytelling.""Yeah, I feel like a weird long-lost cousin. I really do. I’m like protective of them. I’ve met Khloé, I’ve always thought she was so funny. Kourtney is a mom like me, and we talk about the kids. Kris is someone I feel like I will know forever in some capacity. I do, I feel oddly close to them even though I’m not close. I feel like Kris is like a sister I could tell anything to, truly, I trust her with anything.""Yeah, I do. We text. I spent Christmas Eve with them and brought my son over. They’re really busy, obviously. But I’ll definitely see them.""Kris and I struck up a friendship over this, and she knows I’m alone in California. I don’t have any family here but my son. I had my son for Christmas, and so she invited me. I happened to get an amazing Christmas gift of a Breville pizza maker, which Arthur and I very much enjoy. So thank you, Kris.""That is a classic story. I feel so close to Cruel Intentions. It was my first movie. It was probably my biggest movie. It feels like yesterday. It would feel so weird to have a show out, but I’m all for it."
