1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: Julie Louis Drivius became a household name thanks to playing

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: Elaine on Seinfeld, but she admitted to The Daily Beast

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: when the show first got on she didn't feel very

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: fulfilled by the role until she approached its creators, Jerry

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: Seinfeld and Larry David. She says, I never really approached

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: it from the perspective of my gender. I just want

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 2: to play ball with everybody. I'm not going to lie.

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: In the beginning, I didn't always have a lot to

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: do in certain episodes. I went to Larry and Jerry

11
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: multiple times and say, hey, you guys, write me more.

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: I need to be in this show more. And they did.

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: But they didn't write me as a woman. They just

14
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: wrote for me for this character as opposed to her gender,

15
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: which I think is important from her writing point of view.

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: Her new movie You Hurt My Feelings is out today.

17
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: That's Direct from Hollywood.
