When Ronan Farrow sat down to interview Rose McGowan on Thursday night, he opened what would go on to be a 90-minute, emotional conversation by saying that he and McGowan do not do small talk. "How are you, Rose? And you know me well enough to know that I don't mean that casually," Farrow asked McGowan when the pair took the stage at New York City's 92Y in front of a packed audience.

McGowan acknowledged that question is one she has been asked constantly, but struggles to answer. So she decided to compare how she fits into the current climate by doing what most people do, and likening her situation to the movies.
