“The Sopranos was my, I, that was my first time on a set. I mean, it was my first job and I didn’t know the show because I couldn’t afford HBO so I knew it was a big show but I’d never seen it in fact, I didn’t watch it until two years ago, and turn out it is the best show of all time so that’s that was fun to learn but I think that that sort of helped me because I was so sort of I was like so new I mean I was 20 years old 19 maybe and I’d like, never didn’t know how cameras worked,” Milioti told MovieZine.
She recalls their early experiences working with director Steve Bashi, expressing how they had always been a fan of his work. Despite being new to the industry, they were deeply appreciative of how incredibly kind and warm Bashi was, making them feel safe and supported. “I continue to love him in everything that he does and he was so incredibly kind to me and so um warm and wonderful and made me feel really safe and you know didn’t have to because I wasn’t like a big you know I I come on for like a couple lines that’s you know I’m and I’m like an itty bitty baby I’m so brand new,” she added.
