“She's in the middle of all that,” Garner said. “It is exciting. I can see the stress, even though the excitement and stress go hand in hand. But she's handling it like a champ and she's totally in charge.”
“I'm not having to say, 'Are you doing this, are you doing that?'” she added. “She's got it. She's a self-starter.”
