Christina pretty much confirmed that the SAGs will be her “last awards show as an actor probably, so it’s kind of a big deal. Right now, I couldn’t imagine getting up at 5 a.m. and spending 12 to 14 hours on a set; I don’t have that in me at this moment.”

She’s nominated for her role in Netflix’s Dead To Me.

While Christina‘s on-screen career may be ending, she does have a plan for afterwards.

“Doing a s*** ton of voice-overs to make some cash to make sure that my daughter’s fed and we’re homed,” she said.

Elsewhere in her interview, Christina shared that it was a struggle to watch the third season of Dead to Me.

“I don’t like seeing myself struggling,” she says. “Also, I gained 40 pounds because of inactivity and medications, and I didn’t look like myself, and I didn’t feel like myself.”

Christina admits that she did watch it alone as well: “At some point I was able to distance myself from my own ego, and realize what a beautiful piece of television it was. All the scenes I wasn’t in were so much fun to see and experience for the very first time.”

Just recently, Christina got candid about attending her first awards show – the Critics Choice Awards – since her MS diagnosis.
