Maybe I. 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.840 Can show you. It's pretty big. Yeah. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:59.760 Well, speaking of pregnancy, Heather, you were pregnant in seasons 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.000 four with your first baby. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.200 That was the first Glee baby. 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.400 Yes, I hope nobody's hearing this for the first time. 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:10.679 Now. 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.800 We from my memory, I remember you being very pregnant 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.519 in the final episode of season four All or Nothing, 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.560 when you're basically saying goodbye to us, you're gotten into 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:27.680 mit and you're going I forgot how emotional that piece was. 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.040 But also you were very. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.400 Pregnant doing that number on our you know, regionals on 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.760 the Risers. But then you reminded me that you were 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.640 also very pregnant. You were still pregnant like for many 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:46.200 episodes before that, including Wanna Be and what was. 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.880 The other one you had? Diva? 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.839 So take us through that experience of being you were 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.440 like the first one pregnant on our show for real, 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.600 and also not being written into it, so you had 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:58.040 to hide it. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:03.720 Yeah, I didn't know for the longest time. I I obviously, 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.200 like so many other first timers, I was like, there's 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.120 definitely a chance, but like I had no idea until 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:11.880 I knew, do you know what I mean? Like there's 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.080 questionable nights where like I went out drinking and I 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:19.639 was like, you know, like that shouldn't have happened. 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:20.560 Yeah. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.880 I feel like all mothers have that experience where they're 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.280 like I went to a bachelorette and I didn't realize 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:30.240 I was pregnant until I was like sick afterwards, exactly. 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.400 I thought it was just a really bad hangover. 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.400 I know, Yeah, I actually thought of alcohol was gross 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:38.400 to me at that point, so that. 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.040 I don't something wrong. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:50.520 Nobody knew and a while for a long time, and 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.480 I specifically do have this memory though a Penny, our 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:59.760 camera operator, she knew. She like magically knew at one 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.960 point and I hadn't told anybody. I was probably four 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:07.000 months pregnant, and you know how like you can't wait 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.320 in between meals you have to be like constantly kind 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.480 of snacking. You can't like have a giant meal and 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.080 then take a break and then have a giant meal. 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.080 It's like you get really bad ass like reflex. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:16.680 Yeah. 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:21.440 So I was still figuring that out. And I remember Penny, 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.600 the camera operator, like passed me some almonds in the scene. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.560 I was doing a scene with cord Sam at the time, 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.719 and she like handed me a thing of almonds, and 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.400 I don't know exactly what she said, but she was like, 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.320 you want to make sure you're eating in between meals. 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:47.679 I was like, pay my god, who else knew? 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.479 Megan was there by my side a lot. 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.880 Didn't I do a weird if I remember correctly. We 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.560 were standing by Crafty something like that, and I was like, 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.120 I just feel like somebody's pregnant. I was going around 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.159 for like days and I was like, I don't know 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.280 who it is. I didn't I did not know it 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.560 was you, But for like a week I had a 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.320 really strong feeling and I thought maybe it was Naya. 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.560 I just didn't know who it was and they were 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.440 standing next to me. No, I had no clue. I 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.360 had no direction of who it was. But I would 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.760 wake up in the morning, being like somebody's pregnant. Wow, 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.760 and like I knew it wasn't Jenna, So like that 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.919 narrowed that down. And you were standing right next to 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.720 me and you had you looked at me like startled, 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.120 and you're like, why do you think that? I was like, 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:44.720 I don't know, I just have a feeling. And it 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.880 wasn't until later that day I gave it away. I 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.640 was like, wait a second, because that is not my 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.680 place to call somebody else. But you didn't say, yeah, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:55.599 it was you. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.559 I can't believe I didn't cover it up better. But also, 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.960 like you know, like four months is like. 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.960 I just also, it's not something I would normally say, 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:05.720 so I don't think you were also expecting me to 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.840 be like, exactly, somebody's pregnant. 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.719 But also, if you're watching this, we do have an audience, 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:12.839 and if you don't know, Kevin is kind of a witch, 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.279 so like of course you'd think that and say that out. 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.120 Now and then I get it right, Yeah, Now, were 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.360 you able to cover it up with wardrobe or did 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:21.040 they have to know? 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.560 At some point? I guess your clothes were getting had 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:26.120 to be bigger. 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.920 Remembering about this, as I recall, I don't remember. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.920 Them knowing until they had to. 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.479 I think until they kind of had to, right, Like, 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:44.400 I know, I had the conversation with Dante personally, and 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.840 he was going through something similar at the time as well, 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.000 and so he was really excited and intrigued about the 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:55.279 prospect of me having a baby, and I was really 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:59.880 excited and supportive of that, and so my memory is 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.680 about but I think timeline wise, like, I think by 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.200 four or five months was when I kind of had 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:12.360 to like start telling people, yeah, because costumes were getting uncomfortable. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.200 Like the Cheerio your Cheerios curb, it's high waisted. There's 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.000 no world in which that fit. After four to five months, right. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.920 Yeah, No, yeah, I think it was by five months 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:24.240 when I had to like start unzipping. 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.800 I remember the unzipping in between it would just be 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:33.520 folded over, Yes, yes. 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.440 Yeah, we'd have to unzip and fold over and like breathe. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:38.080 God. 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.040 Now did you ask them? 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.880 Uh, like obviously when you have the baby, they're like 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.760 did they offer you time or do you did you 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.560 say like I want out or like. 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:51.160 What was that? 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:51.440 Like? 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:56.280 Yeah, they did approach me with is this something you want? 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.200 Written in the show we are happy to write this 0:07:58.280 --> 0:07:58.720 in the show. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:04.880 Oh if not, you know, yeah, do you want to 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:05.520 make an exit? 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.760 And I me being who I am, and I'm like 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.280 really private about certain things, Like I was like, I 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.800 don't want I just don't want this to be a 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.280 part of the storyline. I just also didn't really feel 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.720 like it fit Brittana totally me, Like the Britney storyline 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.960 or whatever they were going to do with Brittana, like, 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.120 none of that fit to me. Yeah, and so I 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.120 just didn't see it making sense. They already had the 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.120 pregnant storyline with Quinn. So yeah, they came to me 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:33.760 and they were like, do you want this? And I 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.200 was like, I don't think so, but I think by 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.440 the time I'm starting to show, I probably you know, 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:39.440 I think it's time to exit. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.000 And was it like did you think that was it 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.440 for you? Like done done? Or were they like, you 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:48.720 can come back when you're ready. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:49.480 Do you remember? 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.040 Yes? They yeah, they said you can come back when 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:52.640 you're ready. 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.439 Oh that's nice, that's fine. 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.560 Yeah, yeah, I know. The whole experience I felt like 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.520 was super great. There wasn't like a a time to 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:03.120 when you need to be back. 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.360 And that's great. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.280 That's actually really good, Like that's kind of unheard of. 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.040 Yeah, because I also feel like, you know, some of 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.079 the other things where there we were young, a lot 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.640 of personalities people wanted to get out for certain things. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:20.600 Having a child is like a real thing. It's not 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.440 the same as like asking for an out to do 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.160 a movie and people would get you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.160 it's it's very good to hear that when it came 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.800 to like a really life changing and important thing, that 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.240 you were allowed the space and time to decide what 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:36.360 route you wanted to take. 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.280 Absolutely, I feel like that's so important and so special 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.800 that they did that for me. Yeah, And I think 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.200 had they all not been kind of going through their 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.559 own same thing, Like I know, Ryan had just had 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:51.160 two kids previously, Brad had children already, but like, I 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.200 think they were empathetic to that. Yeah, for sure, it's 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:55.760 super lucky that they let me do that. 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.760 None of us really knew what that looked like because 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:00.880 had done it yet. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:05.719 So I was just a young chicken. Is such a 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:06.720 young spring chicken. 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:07.720 It's funny. 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.080 You can kind of see the bump in some scenes 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.280 like towards the end of four that we're watching and 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.120 we're like, maybe it's just because we know that you 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.040 are pregnant, like when we're rewatching it. 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.000 Now, when did you guys find out when I made 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:21.719 an announcement? 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.320 Oh god, I think it was circling. I think the 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.760 rumor was circling for a little bit, okay, prior to 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.240 you announcing, but nothing was confirmed, right. 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:37.640 I think we probably amongst ourselves, like the innermost circle, 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.360 we probably all hurt, like maybe started to figure it out. 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:42.640 But it's one of those things like we're not going 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.880 to go blow out of your. 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:49.680 Spot, Like, give me Heather, can we talk about it? 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:50.959 She'll tell us when she's ready. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.680 Yeah, you guys are such good friends. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:59.079 And then but what's gonna happen? Well, the schedule is 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:04.040 if you're in peak form, is already crazy. Yeah, and 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.000 you're also your work ethic and we've talked about this 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:11.200 on this podcast before. It was like far and away 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.760 superior to most of ours, Like you came in like 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:19.480 that dancer life. The schedule is absolutely insane, right, and 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.640 I think you are used to putting up with a 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:27.960 lot mentally physically, and so was there a point where 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.440 it did feel like, Okay, I'm growing a human and 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.120 this feels a little crazy. I'm a little tired. I 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.520 don't want to be in dance rehearsal or these fifteen 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:42.319 hour days feel a little excessive at this point because 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.360 right before the season finale, you're gone for an episode, 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.760 and so we were wondering, like, I wonder if they 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:50.480 just gave her that off just to give her some time, 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.160 maybe just doctor's appointments, whatever it might be. But like, 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.080 did it feel that all of that sort of compound 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.800 to be like I need this break to come because 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:01.319 my body. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:05.120 Well, there's something to be said about like the age 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.920 that I was at. I don't think I was emotionally 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.800 mature at that point to know like, Okay, Heather, it's time. 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.640 Because I got pregnant pretty young, and I was a surprise, 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.559 Like Taylor and I were not sitting there planning to 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.640 at babies. So I wasn't going like when's my ovulating schedule? 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.600 And then like what are the steps I need to 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.800 take during my pregnancy? It was all like, oh, okay, 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.839 I'm pregnant. Of course, like let's do this, Let's get 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.520 the prenatals going, let's get my doctor's appointments, what's my 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.920 birth journey? Going to be like all that was really 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.360 important to me. Yeah, so I think I was more 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:44.640 like blindsided by like, yeah, you don't know, that's the tiredness. 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.320 I know, like I was exhausted and I would be 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.640 like falling asleep in the middle of like in between scenes. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:52.760 Yeah. 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:58.120 Oh so there's that. And then I was texting Jenna 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.800 about I had a during the Diva episode when we 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.120 were doing the Diva song. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:03.800 Yeah. 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.840 God, I don't even know if anybody found out. Maybe 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.120 you did found out about this, but I actually locked 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:13.400 myself in my trailer and I had a full mental breakdown. 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.959 I was like bawling in my big pink dress, like falling. 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:23.400 I was like I can't do like the full thing. 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:28.680 And yeah, yeah, people didn't know then because you also 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.880 the last person that you would ever expect to do that. 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.280 Exactly full example of hormones, Like I don't break down 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.679 and cry ever, right, And I remember Megan, she had 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:41.720 to have known at that point. 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:47.120 Yeah, everybody, she doesn't need to be told, she just knows. 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.800 Yeah, She's like the most intuitive person, so she had 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.520 to have known because she was like soothing me. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.800 Mmm wow, Yeah, I remember those big numbers like Diva 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.240 like the costumes alone, and it's a long day and 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.559 we're crawling on a catwalk and like you we had 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.359 mentioned wanna be of like costumes and kicking and dancing, 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:08.400 and like, well, there's. 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.480 Little things that you're not thinking about. It's like the smoke, Like, 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.120 because they want ambiance in a scene, there's smoke going on, 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.840 and so I'm like, is this okay? Excuse me? Do 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:21.320 you think we could get less smoke? 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:23.920 Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.480 And then you know, like years before that, I'm watching 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.640 other actors being like it's too much smoke. I don't 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.400 like it, and I'm like, oh, they're making a big 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.560 deal out of anything, but that you're in it, and 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.320 you're like, oh wow, okay, right. 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.760 No. I know when I was doing Drag Race and 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.720 I was pregnant and nobody knew except for Kevin on set, 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.920 but I had to tell the makeup and hair obviously 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.920 because it's drag makeup, like not to use like alcohol 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.080 these stuff. Because it was my first pregnancy, I didn't 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.800 know if that stuff was going to affect you know, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.520 the baby or me, and so I had to ask 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.680 them to like adjust like the wig gl and the 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.840 makeup and the removal and all bad stuff, and it 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.400 was just like people thought I was and I was like, yeah, 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.040 I'm so sorry. I just can't put this on my 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:11.160 face right now. 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.040 You're like, I don't want to absorb that. I don't 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:15.440 want my body to observe that. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.760 I will say, having witnessed both of you and work 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:23.200 environments pregnant for the first time, neither of you could 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:27.160 ever be accused of being a diva because there's obviously 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.360 like a big difference between somebody just being difficult and 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.400 the approach of like you said, can we just get 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:33.920 less smoke? 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:35.160 Right? 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.920 But you have like real health concerns and they might 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.320 have real health concerns, and it's like the way you 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.280 ask those things. Also you have history with these people. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.840 It makes a huge difference. And the two of you, 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.000 the way you handle those situations is such a lesson 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.240 for the rest of people like me who are watching 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.560 being like I have no idea how I would handle 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.000 that situation, like I don't know how they're. 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.760 Doing this, and oh you would be fine. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.520 But you both like to set I think, especially like Heather, 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.080 you were the first one, like Jenna, saw you in 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.200 a work environment be pregnant for the first time, and 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:14.560 then like and other people got pregnant, and so you 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.280 sort of had to carve that out because there was 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.200 no example for us to see that, right, right, And 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.920 so it's crazy learn by doing it. And I think luckily, 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.920 like as a team, you were the first one to 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.400 do it, because you are so good at that. You're 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.880 like graceful in that or like kind, like you're always 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.800 kind through even if you're asking for less smoke, you're 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:36.760 still really nice about it. 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.280 Yeah, oh for sure, Yeah, oh for sure. And also 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.920 like we're polite society or raising a polite society. 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.000 Yeah, and like our cruise, our family. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.200 Yeah yeah, I would never be somebody to raise a 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:52.000 hard flag. 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.840 No loudly, no, that would never. 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.880 I would never put that only let's say yeah, yeah, 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:10.360 yeah for sure. So we just watched the season finale 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:15.600 All or Nothing, and I love this storyline of you 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:20.119 going to MIT. You failed the test at MIT, but 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.199 then you have like a beautiful mind moment on the 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.280 back of this paper, or you've written all these numbers 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.880 which I forgot about specifically, like scantron and cran I remember, 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:34.440 and then them unlocking this code and you're brilliant and 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.359 then you come into the choir room and you're just 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.960 like it's me, I'm all or nothing, like you either 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.479 I'm doing everything or not. But that being said, you 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:50.760 had like some of your greatest work in that episode, 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:55.720 and like Jenna said earlier, forgot some of these like 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.600 heavier emotional moments towards the end of the episode, especially 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.760 yeah as always between you and Naya, like just the 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:08.720 most incredible performances and obviously knowing like you don't know 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.280 when you're coming back to the show or in what capacity, 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.439 Like what that looks like? What was that like? 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:14.840 Right? 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.479 Because watching it, I felt all of that. Those are 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.719 the things I was thinking, Yeah, doing that, like, what 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:22.400 was that like? Yeah? 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:22.639 In it? 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:27.000 Well, I I don't know, Jenna, you've ever gone to 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.320 an audition or been to an audition where you like 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.919 just got your period and it's an emotional audition and 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:35.600 you're like, I'm gonna fucking nail this, Like yeah, I'm 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.840 already an emotional wreck. It's not hard to get here, 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.119 Like it's so easy to get here. Yeah, So I 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.880 knew that at that point. I was like, yeah, yeah, 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.440 I knew I was going to get there every time 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.800 no matter what, because I was already emotional, but the 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.359 way that the writers worked was they wrote it perfectly 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.159 and so eloquently, so it just felt like I was 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.840 talking to my best friends right and about my experience 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.040 at that time, so like it wasn't even it just 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:05.280 felt like it was me talking. 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:06.760 Yeah. 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.960 So I think that beautiful mix of everything like kind 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.359 of intertwined was why I was able to perform the 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.080 way I performed and not feel like it was a 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.280 performative piece. That it just felt like an extension of me, 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.080 which is always what you wanted as an actor, you know, Like, 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.800 but we had had four years of connection at that point, 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.359 so like my storylines were all connected, which was great. 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:32.199 Yeah, And Brittany was like crazy but or like just 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:37.080 so out there sometimes, but yet this was so grounded, 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.240 this part of Brittany that we saw in this episode 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:44.080 also while like losing it but and then also pregnant. 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:45.919 I just kept watching you in this scene, being like, 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.760 she's so pregnant and she's so hormonal, and we're all 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.159 crying and we're saying goodbye to her, and I'm like, 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.800 I don't know how she controlled herself, because if I 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.879 cry right now, it's it's uncontrolled. 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.760 Yeah, that's true.
