Temple said that she fell asleep watching a movie on the couch and “woke up to a FaceTime video call from my entire team that have been working with me since I was 17. And genuinely, I could not have a cooler, more patient, and brilliant team of people that have helped me build a career … they have been my second family.”

“I’m scared of all this s—,” she said, referring to the Emmy nomination and attention she’s received. “It’s something I never predicted would be in my life. It is daunting and it is scary. I just love my job so much. It feels like, I just want to keep being better and better at my job. And so the fact that I get to know that Hannah will be there on the night … it’s so exciting, but it is nerve-racking going to something like that when you have to be you. You have to be dressed as you and to be celebrating the body of Juno and not the character.”
