What’s it like for you and Stephen to work together again after “True Blood?”

We love working together. It’s our happy place. That’s how we met, how we found love. There’s a shorthand and a trust thing that’s just hard to replicate with other people.

How was it being directed by him in “The Parting Glass?”

I had a very small role in as far as screen time. I was predominately producing, and a large amount of my job was putting out the fires before he had to know about them so that he could focus on steering the ship. It was Toronto in the middle of winter and at the time, I want to say Ed Asner — who has an enormous role in the film and is mentally sharper than a razor blade and amazing — was 87. And it sounds horrible, but also kind of funny: Every day we’d get to the end of the day and go, “Oh my God, we’re so relieved we’re not the ones who killed Ed Asner.” Like, he didn’t slip on black ice today. Literally.

No one blinks in “Flack” when it becomes obvious that Robyn has sex with men and women. But in 2010, it was big news when you announced that you’re bisexual. Thoughts?

That was already in the script so I can’t take any credit for being like, Oh hey, let’s wave some rainbow flags. And I guess if you’re open and upfront and refuse to buy into the narrative where it’s actually a big deal or even, frankly, interesting, it normalizes things. I’m not stupid but I don’t on any emotional level understand why other people’s sexuality is anybody’s business, other than the person that they’re in a relationship with. And I think the more vocal people are about it, the more this becomes a really mundane sort of footnote in their bio — as opposed to the only thing that people want to talk about.

You are playing the adult Joanie in the upcoming final season of Showtime’s “The Affair,” one of my favorite shows. Can you spoil it for me?

I’m sorry but I’ve spent so many years with projects and series where plot is king and spoilers are executable offenses. So — good luck. [Laughs]
