And then it was just so 281 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 4: just such this industry, this business is so strange, because 282 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 4: it was like, you know, you can't ever take anything 283 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 4: for granted, but like also you never know what's going 284 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 4: to happen. Like I booked on tour, I had booked 285 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 4: a sister act on Broadway, but I couldn't do it 286 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 4: because there was like a scheduling of like one date 287 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 4: I would have needed off and Fox was like no. 288 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 4: And then I booked a series regular on show, and 289 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 4: I booked a recurring part on a huge HBO show 290 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 4: that I won't say that ended up going on to 291 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 4: win the actressho took it an Emmy. And all this 292 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 4: time I was like, I don't want to take it 293 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 4: because I had just got this huge storyline on Glee, 294 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: you know. And the thing about Glee is like it 295 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 4: was just so much more than a job. It was 296 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 4: like we were changing the world. Like we were seeing 297 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 4: all these you know, chubby kids come up to me 298 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 4: and be like, you know, I don't see people like 299 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 4: me on TV, and you've given me confidence and all 300 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 4: the queer kids, and like Glee was like a cultural moment, 301 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 4: and I was like obsessed with all y'all. We spent 302 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 4: every day all day. Really, the powers that be essentially 303 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 4: were like, we can't make her a series regular because 304 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 4: there's seventy five series regulars, but we've got really big 305 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 4: plans for her in the season, so please please don't 306 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 4: take these other jobs. And I was like okay, And 307 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 4: then I was shot out of season three by six 308 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 4: point thirty in the morning day one. 309 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: It's like my body and that is I'm And I 310 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 2: had just come off tour. 311 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 4: I had gotten like not to like brag, but I 312 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 4: had gotten more pressed from season two than almost any 313 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 4: of the other characters because it was kind of a 314 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 4: big deal. I actually was coming outcast looking I mean, y'all, 315 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 4: are all gorgeous. You know who's gonna really, But I 316 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 4: just mean as people really resonated with it, and I 317 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 4: was just the oddest thing. And then it's like the 318 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: thing like, knowing what I know now, I probably still 319 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 4: would have It's a gamble, like everything in this business is. 320 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: And I probably would have still. 321 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 4: Made that same choice now because you guys all own homes, 322 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 4: so I would take in the money. But no, but 323 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 4: it's still like a choice that I made. And then 324 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 4: I would sort of come back like once a season 325 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 4: until the end, just like Pop. I don't really know 326 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 4: what happened to me. It's kind of like Romeo always 327 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 4: says she was in the basement. I don't know where 328 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 4: I was, but apparently all of a sudden, I like 329 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 4: go to Harvard out of nowhere, and then I was 330 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 4: like at the Sadie Hawkins Dance or something. I would 331 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 4: come back like once season. I think I was in 332 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 4: every single season for at least of an episode. And 333 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 4: I remember this because I would just have my bangs 334 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 4: grown out just and then I'd get the call from 335 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 4: Glee being like come on back, girl, and then i'd 336 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 4: have so finally this series, finally, it was so special 337 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 4: and so emotional for so many reasons. I got there 338 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 4: and I was like, y'all, this bitch is forty, Like 339 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 4: I don't think she has bangs. And they were like, oh, 340 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 4: that's it's been six years. Four years.

Yeah, 367 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 4: she probably had every reason to be the wilting flower 368 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 4: in that school, but instead she just owned who she 369 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 4: was and was a badass, which was so fun to play. 370 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,239 Speaker 4: But my whole story line was the only you know, 371 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 4: chink in her armor, if you will, was that she 372 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 4: was nervous to sing.

He was still in that writer's room 458 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 3: every day doing everything. The fact that Paris brought you 459 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 3: in and he allowed Paris to like vet you, because 460 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 3: I mean, if you're gonna trust anyone, you trust the 461 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 3: president of the DJ at the like future president of DJ. 462 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 3: Did you like what was that like though? Going in there? 463 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 3: Because it's not Ryan, it's not Paris's show. Why was 464 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 3: he the one to do hired for like the future 465 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: of the series. 466 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: Because he's smart and he knew what was happening. 467 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 4: He's foresight. And I had auditioned for the pilot. I 468 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 4: think I had met Brad and Ian and and Marian 469 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 4: not met them, but like auditioning in front of them 470 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 4: and stuff like that, going through the callbacks and the 471 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 4: producers and all that stuff for the pilot. So and 472 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 4: I think Robert it was literally like, we have to 473 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 4: film this tomorrow morning. That's four pm on a Tuesday, 474 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 4: And they called Robert and said give us a girl, 475 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 4: and Robert said, this is the girl and then Paris 476 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 4: said okay. And at that time it was just a 477 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 4: guest star for that one episode. It was the top 478 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 4: oft show guest star, but was still. 479 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: Just the star. 480 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 4: So it was kind of like, you know, what's the 481 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 4: worst that could go wrong if she's terrible? And he 482 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 4: just had the force that he literally said, you never 483 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 4: know what they're going to do with people on the 484 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 4: show episode eight and had me saying and it was 485 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 4: just so strange.

And also Brad Beeker. I loved 498 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 4: when he directed because he was an editor and he 499 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 4: knew exactly what he needed and what he did. And 500 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 4: he also because directors that like keep the whole story 501 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 4: and in the whole big picture in mind are always 502 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 4: it's always so much fun to work with because you 503 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 4: feel seen, you know.
