You do. I mean, I've been to your apartment. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.280 It's it's so grown up. I love the way your 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.480 couches were arranged, just like you can have a meeting 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:14.880 over here here here, like laid out lot, no knick knacks.

Yes, 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.360 but I got rid of I did this video for 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.280 a New York magazine that came to my home, and 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.600 when it aired, I watched it with a volume down 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.080 and just looked at it. It was like, oh my god, 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.400 it looks like a crazy person lives there. And that's 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.240 what triggered me to have a big give everything to 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.120 the Cure thrift store and all the money went to diabetes, 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.120 and I got rid of so much stuff. It still 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.640 looks cluttered a little bit, but not as much. 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.280 What would you say your style is. 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.119 I asked somebody once, a decorator who came into my house. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.240 He said, it's s eglectic. You know, you like you 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.640 collect a lot of different stuff. Is that the right 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:57.320 word I'm looking at. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.880 Because it's such a a reflection of your personality, but 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.240 also kind of a reflection of what I think your 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.560 mind is empty? 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.160 Well, I like everything. I like everything out to have 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.600 a story, like where is that from? And I got 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.400 a story behind it. I don't like it when people 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.400 give me stuff I don't like, especially if I don't 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.839 know them. And yeah, it makes I just if I 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.640 want it, I'll get it, right, I'm not I don't 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.200 know a gift bag person unless it's Apple. 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.479 Yeah. Yeah, because it's truly you. 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.680 Yeah. Or I'm too lucky.

His 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.960 boyfriend will do art work. And so I'm pretty lucky. 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.240 That way, right, And that's all meaningful. It's family. Yeah, 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.159 So let's talk about that. You come from a big family, 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.440 you have brothers and sisters. Though you were born in 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.480 our lovely state, you went south, right, How did all 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.159 that influence you? Because like the thing like and it's 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:58.040 so fun to. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.440 Watch you portray all these characters because you go so 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.320 deep and you really embody. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.800 Them and they're so I'm unemployed. 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.680 Go on, you know, you things coming out. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:09.880 I have something today.

I've never done that. I mean, 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.560 I can, you know, make the noises or whatever, but 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.159 to talk like a baby. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:40.440 So don't tell us the lines. 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.560 But kind of yeah, I don't know the work. I 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.680 worked on it last night. I just worked on it 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.440 all night, like yeah, but I gotta say words and 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.520 hit the you know, so, it's a it's a big 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.400 challenge for me. I'm going to bring my I wear 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.560 a mouthguard at night, so I'm going to bring that 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.240 and see if that helps me. But I'm stumped. But 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.000 it's such a big it's huge. 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.440 How fun is it because you do other voiceover? 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.880 Yeah, I do a lot of voiceovers, and you're you know, 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:06.920 you're super good at it. 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:08.840 It's always great to hear your voice because you also 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.680 change your voice, so like it's right. How difficult is 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:17.359 the process of looking at like matching and looking. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.920 Well, sometimes you don't get to match anything and you're 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.880 just reading it. And it's interesting because I really am 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.560 a poor reader, you know, to see a word, say it, 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.080 to hear it is you know when I had difficulty 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.880 in school with comprehension, you know so, and I still 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.720 do so A lot of times I can read, I 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.400 don't know, I'll hit you No, I just hit the words. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.120 I don't put the emphasis on the right word a lot, 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.919 you know, And I think I'm surprised I'm in this 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.440 business just because of the difficulties I had growing up. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.800 Like whoever thought? Like if people ask me, oh, will 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.320 you read this book? On tape. I'm like, I'm a 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.800 poor reader and I'm not gonna I know, I'm tear 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.000 up to be directed, or I love a line reading. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.159 I'm like, how do I oh got it? Like I 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.360 know where to hit the hit. 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.440 The words, do the line reading. But then you bring 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:02.920 what you bring? 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.920 Yeah yeah yeah, just their intention right wow? And that 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.880 that helps me a lot. Like BoJack was fun because 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.400 I had the character down. I knew who princess. I'd 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.160 been working on that voice for a while. It's a 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.600 little strisand is a little bit of Stris ends and 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.280 oh your big dummy Bruces is fantastic. Oh you stupid idiot. 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.240 When's the sala gonna come? You know two when two 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.960 was twenty two, So she's a little bit you know. 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.880 So that was fun because I felt like I could 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.080 live the character. Like if I know the person, then 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.920 then it naturally comes out. But if I have to 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.920 struggle and I'm like, I don't know who this person is, 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:37.720 that's harder for me. 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:52.560 The characters you play, because you know, like for characters 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.800 that like work in grocery stores and waitresses, like are 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:55.720 they all pulled? 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.360 But do you think that area? Like how did that 0:07:58.440 --> 0:07:59.440 area for sure. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.560 I mean born and raised, you know, and I don't 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.560 know state. Yeah, I mean I was like as a 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:10.800 southern hospitality, entertaining the come and get it dinners. And 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.200 but we came from you know, New York from when 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.360 I DM went to the South, so we kind of 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.560 were on a dead end kind of a little country 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.520 around us. And then it turned into you know, a 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:26.880 popular neighborhood and got more suburban. But I loved it, 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.120 you know, Like then I moved to Chicago, and that 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.240 was like, oh, I wonder where that taxi cabs going. 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.120 So I'm glad I went from North Carolina to Chicago 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.720 to New York. I don't think I could go from 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.120 New York or Chicago to North Carolina because you go 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.000 home and you just lose all your bones in your body. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.840 You're like, this is so, oh my god, I'm gonna 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.520 do crazy, Becky.

Okay, maybe that's why I 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.000 don't get a whole lot of it seems work. But 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.400 my favorite job is again a girl Scout level, just 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.760 want to character part.

But I mean that's frustrating 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.240 for agents, I know. But it's like, that's all I 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.320 really am interested in doing. Being the guest star, right, 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.160 bringing that yes, just for fun and the pressure is 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.960 not on you.

I work with a person and then 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.880 try to figure out, oh, who is this right? This person? 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.080 So, and I'm going to get to the number one 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.080 on the call sheet. 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.960 That's a good name for something. It is crawl sheet. 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.880 Yeah, that's a good uh memoir title. 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.800 Yeah, number one, number twelve. 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:58.520 Number sixteen thousand, girl scout you Yes, it's like in 0:14:58.640 --> 0:14:59.240 your blood? 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.840 How did that begin? And like you. I mean most 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:06.560 people like in their middle school years. Leave. You stayed 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:07.280 senior year. 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:08.880 And when I moved to New York City, I went 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.680 to the HQ headquarters on twenty third Street and I said, listen, 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.040 I have been a girl scout my whole life. There 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:17.920 are two badges I didn't get, Sign of the Star 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:19.880 and Sign of the Era. They're the most important ones. 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:21.880 Really, why did you get them? What does you have 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:22.560 to It's just. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.400 Then explained to you. Right, I got all the other ones, 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.640 but it's like they were just like the big, the 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.400 major ones, and probably low self esteem or something. So 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.840 I said, clearly, I've done all this stuff. I brought 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.600 my book, I went through all the stuff I had 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.520 to do to earn it. So they mailed them to me. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.440 So I have them now. And I'm a horrible at 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.840 auditioning something to try to get it. It's not my 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.080 you know, So no, I can't remember less of my auditioned. 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.640 I mean, I'm just not good at it, right, I 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.640 mean a lot of people on the hall, right, yeah, 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:51.880 I think so. But I'm used to failing because I 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.520 failed first grade. So it doesn't if I don't get something. 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:57.760 My attitude is like I've been Do. 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:58.880 You have to repeat first grade? 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:03.320 I repeated first Gray Bruce, That's where everything started. Like 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.840 that sucked. That sucked. All my friends would a hand 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:09.920 of me. It was a failure. I mean it was 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.040 like so my second first grade teacher was a big 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.440 inspiration to me, and she wore the best high heels 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.600 and that's how my obsession with high heels started. All 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:20.120 I would do was look at her feet every day. 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.800 Really yeah, when I met you. 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.080 One of the early memories I have of you is 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.640 out when you were visiting Andy and I was in 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.240 the house share at the time and summertime, and we 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.560 were all hanging out and the tam I know you, 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:42.360 let me tell you, like gorgeous and the hair blonde. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:46.040 From the summer sparkle. It was like a movie star 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.040 laying there, you know, talking And it. 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.080 Never wore sun block. I will know why used that 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.720 number two number four. They don't make it anymore. Vacation 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:02.760 makes a version of it. Wow, but it's not anymore, 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.320 do you know? And I wear sunscreen now. 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.440 I mean, if you wanted a tan, you would just 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:08.000 put make up. 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.480 Farmers can't walking around right, yeah, you know, but I 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.639 don't know why I didn't get sunspots on my face, 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.560 my aunt. My legs are shot, but not my arms 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.440 in my face, and I don't know why? Is it weird? 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:21.120 Well, thankfully? 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.440 And also my first prescription was when I was ten. 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.040 I went to the germatologists and he wrote on his 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.720 pad that I had dry skin and to use Jurgons lotion. 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.320 And I'll never I felt so special. I had a script, 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.959 you know, and I stared at it and that's when 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.720 I became obsessed with lotion. Really, I'm a lotion theme 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.159 constantly because he told me to apply it. And I 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.600 still have a Jurgon's bottle and I think the headquarters 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.920 is in Cincinnati. But again, I'm like, why can't I 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.359 do a Jurgon's commercial?
