"I won't, we won't make each other cry," Brunson, 34, replied, as Aniston said, "Okay."
"But, you're already crying," the Abbott Elementary star added before asking Aniston, "Do you want a minute? We don't have to talk about [it.]"

During her converation with Quinta Brunson for Variety's Actors on Actors conversation, she was asked by Brunson, "When you were a baby on that show you were so advanced... your fine motor skills were insane."
"Wasn't I? I was an old soul," Aniston replied.
"Crazy, 30!" the Morning Show star added, as Brunson responded, "That show premiered when I was five and it continues to be one of the best shows on television."
