If Elisabeth Moss shows up onscreen, you know you’re about to go through the emotional wringer.

The 41-year-old actor has had decades of practice in professionally pretending to be traumatized.

“It was fun,” a chipper Moss tells Business Insider.

“I knew it was a job.

I knew it was acting.”

“I just kind of looked at it the same way that I do now,” Moss continues.

“I don’t get confused as to what’s real and not real.”

It’s all relative, after all.

But the cast was full of megastars Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, Brittany Murphy.

What did you learn from watching them work?

I was just so in awe of everybody.

I was the youngest by a good amount.

Everyone had their own personality.

Winona was super, super kind to me and really took me under her wing.

I didn’t know Angie as well.

I got to know her later a little bit, many, many years later.

Brittany was just the sweetest.

Everyone was just really good at what they did.

There wasn’t any ego.

It was all women, and everyone was good to each other and worked hard.

How has growing up working as a child actor informed how you view yourself and your career now?

I feel a special kinship with young actresses because that’s where I came from.

Whether it’s Maddie Brewer orMckenna Graceor Sydney Sweeney, I’ve come across these women in my career.

I love having that experience with young actresses.

But whatdoesdraw you to these roles?

I still don’t think I’ve seen you do a rom-com.

I know, I haven’t!

I don’t know.

I love comedy and romantic comedy.

I love that kind of show.

If a show gets too serious, sometimes I’m totally not into it.

It’s your wheelhouse.

It’s the thing you’re probably most familiar with.

I don’t know.

Why do certain people like playing certain kinds of music?

They just like it.

No, I’d love to.

I think they’re very difficult.

I think finding a good script is very difficult as well.

And the plain, cold truth of it is, it just was absolutely fucking freezing.

I always seem to wind up in the rain somehow.

There’s a lot of rain.

You’re going back to film the final season soon, right?

Do you think it will be weird to return to a show like thatas a new mom?

It sounds like you’re good at separating acting and your real life, though.

Oh, I think it’ll be lovely.

I think it’ll be a whole new added perspective to life.

I’m sure I’ll be bringing that to June and to the show.

So I don’t think it’s going to be a huge adjustment for us.

Is it safe to say you know how the series ends?

How do you feel about the ending?

I don’t even know how to not say anything about it.

I’m too scared to say the wrong thing accidentally.

I’m too nervous.

I don’t have my patter down.

I’m not ready yet.

You don’t have your one tease line ready.

This show’s like my other baby.

I can say this: I think this whole season is absolutely for the fans.

It’s definitely for our audience.

That’s a good question.

And I think when we finished, it was time to finish, and we felt good about that.

Actually, that kind of sucked."

I feel more grateful as time goes on, I think, for that experience.

Granted, it feels like 30 years ago.

Is there anything that transports you right back to set?

Are you like, “I don’t want to put any midcentury modern furniture in my home.

I saw enough of it for years.”

There’s nothing in my apartment that’s midcentury.

Are there any roles you’ve regretted turning down?

I don’t think I’ve ever turned anything down that I was really regretful of.

I almost didn’t do “Handmaid’s,” but thank God I did end up saying yes.

But then the idea that anybody else was going to do the show that killed me.

And I was like, “Nope, I’m going to do it.”

I could not stand the idea of anyone else playing that role.

You have so many iconic characters.

Are there any that you would never return to?

I just don’t think you’re able to ever say never.

Most of them, I would probably love the chance to play again.

That’s really the saddest part of anything ending is you don’t get to play the character again.

It always just feels like there’s more to do.

I want to do more of “The Veil.”

I would love to do more “Top of the Lake.”

I never feel like it’s done.

It’s hard for me to leave it behind.

I’m sure people would have you back as Peggy Olson in a heartbeat.

I love that when that happens.

I love when people return to characters; it’s always so exciting.

When “Breaking Bad” ended I was like, “What’s wrong with you people?

Why are you doing this to me?!”

“The Veil” is streaming in full on FX on Hulu.
