This won't just be 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:13.720 a not awkward. 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.960 It's never going to be awkward. I can't be awkward. 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.040 I'm humans. I'm awkward just waking up, do you know 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.560 what I mean? Like, it's not going to ever be awkward, at. 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:23.479 Least to our first question. 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.920 All right, So we've had a meeting, and for me, 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.440 I believe it was seven am, but for you it 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:31.360 was for. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:32.919 Five am, I believe. 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.480 Yeah, And I was amazed at how alert you were. 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.360 And I'm under the understanding that people in California also 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.919 have to adjust to other time zone. So my manager 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.240 gets up at three am. Yeah, you know, just to 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.839 because that's when the world starts. H What time do 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.560 you routinely start your day? 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.360 Four o'clock? I wake up at four o'clock with. 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.119 A job, without a job on the clock. Four o'clock. 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.200 No, no, no, just I wake up at four o'clock. 0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:59.240 Why is that? 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.479 I love? First of all, I was born early in 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:07.039 the morning, so I think I'm just naturally drawn to 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.120 wake up with the morning. I don't really know. I'm 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.000 a morning person. I'm not a night person. I'm like, 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.039 I want to be at your game nights. I used 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.960 to host game nights. I was famous for hosting game nights. 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.440 I've invented some games that we play at game nights. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.800 My problem is there at night, I don't do well. 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.720 The lights go down, I go to bed. 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.360 When was your game night period, like. 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.080 In the eighties, particularly in the eighties and nineties, And 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.240 I mean, I'm the girl who says, let's do a 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.560 game night and play all the various different games. My 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.080 favorite game I claim I invented it. We call it 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:45.039 first line of novel. Where you basically go by a 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:51.120 bunch of dime store you know, secondhand store books, whatever, 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.159 and you bring them in nobody looks at them right, 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.239 and then each So let's say we have eight people 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.000 in the group. Okay, So then I pick the book 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.560 and I open it and check out the first line, 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.000 and then I show the book and I say, the 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:10.479 book is called Quest for Love. For lack of a 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.360 better pulp fiction title, the book is called Quest for Love. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.400 Then everybody at the table writes what they think the 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.000 first line of the book is, or they want us 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.960 to think the first line of the book is. I 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.200 write the real first line of the book, and then 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.240 everybody hands them to me. Then I shuffle them. Then 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.840 I read them all out loud, and then we have 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:37.159 to vote. Every person votes, and you get a point 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.640 for guessing the right book. You get a point if 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:45.520 you fool people. So if your first line fools everybody, 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.240 you get a point, And if you end up guessing 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.640 the right first line, you get a point. And you 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.080 go around the table, so everybody gets a chance to 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.480 not be making one because they are reading. And it's 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.839 called first line of novel. I love it because you 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:07.400 actually get really incredible writing from it. I've saved everyone 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.680 I've ever written, everyone my children have ever written. I'm 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.400 that person. So anyway, I'm a game night person, but 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.800 I can't do game night because you do it late 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.880 at night and you probably have cocktails. And do you 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.040 do a game afternoon? Can you do a game brunch? 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.440 I have something close to that. We are elevating our. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.360 Game nights to a TV show. 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.400 I don't know if I can talk about this or not, 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.960 but if hypothetically there were a situation like that in 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.520 which I haven't been at a table with a microphone 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.360 and maybe like four or five people, I want to try. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.480 This idea that I look super fun. I literally want 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:44.800 to do this now. I wish I wish I could 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.240 have had Okay, sorry, that's amazing. 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.920 We don't know each other, by the way, for the people, 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:55.559 But can I actually say, well, we're kindreds sirs, that's fine, 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.400 mutual admiration. We just peop. You know, you see people 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.720 you like, You're like, oh, I like you, like you cool? 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.280 You know that happens in show business. That happens a lot. 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.280 You run into a lot of people, often at award shows, 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:07.840 and you go ooh, I think you're cool. I think 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.200 you're cool. Okay, hi, and then you never see each 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.000 other again. So you and I met at a screening 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.320 for Everything Everywhere, all at once. At the time, when 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:20.040 we were still coming out of COVID Yes, I was 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.120 on the publicity tour for that movie. Everybody was still 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.480 wearing masks, everybody was still freaked out about COVID Yes. 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.440 And we were in the basement downstairs at a building. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.480 So it was a hotel. Yeah, it was a hotel. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:37.679 But we went down some stairs and I walked in 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.200 and they had told me that there was a cocktail party. 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.600 And I don't do cocktail parties period. I'm sober, so 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.160 I like cocktail parties to me is nothing but high 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:53.480 voices and wine breath. People like going, oh my god, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.839 and they have bad breath. So it's like you get both. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.839 You get this awful sound and you get this awful smell. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.480 So I avoid it like the plague. I literally walk. 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.600 I'm like, oh, I'm not going to and I find 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.440 the corner and I stay in the corner and then 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.160 I'm leaving. And I was in this front room and 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.839 I was just about to leave and you came in 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:21.360 and somebody said, ooh, that's Questlove. Questlove just got here. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:23.880 I guess you were coming for the screening of it. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:28.760 I was, and as we passed, like at some point 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:33.880 we met in that lower level and I think I said, Hi, 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.080 I think you're cool or something, and you said these 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:42.360 words to me, dust off your mental Yes, And I 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.200 looked at you and I said what And you said, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:50.080 dust off your mental And then I think I said, oh, 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:51.680 fuck you, stop. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:56.960 It, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you got 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:58.480 it come in. 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.559 I did not. I just said fuck you and then 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.400 I left and that was it. And then when all 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.560 of that happened, and that night happened, I remember the 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.560 next morning, I think I wanted to like write you 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.360 and go you motherfucker. How did you know? 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:16.319 That? 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:22.560 Film is why I'm here today. Like I think in 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:27.280 the pandemic, there becomes a wake up moment or something. 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.679 And because we were so thirsty. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.600 For content and all those things at the time, I 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.920 was going through a pivot, which was, you know, in 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.520 twenty twenty. I grew up in a showbiz family. My 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.360 father was like an oldies do op singer back in 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.880 the day. By the time I was born, I was 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.040 part of the family business as a nightclub act and 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.040 all those things. And then my best friend and I 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.400 start a group so I'll say that from the age 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:55.800 of five, I've always at least been on a stage 0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.960 entertaining someone or do something in a professional musical artist 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.840 audience capacity since the age of five, Like not three 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.400 weeks of not going by since I was five that 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.120 I wasn't entertaining someone. And then for the first time 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.599 of my life in twenty twenty eight months went by 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.440 and I never touched a drumstick. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.920 I never had to entertain. I didn't do a set list. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.640 I mean, I was created by like DJ and online 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.760 and whatnot. But this also allowed me to watch a 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:30.000 lot of TV and a lot of movies. And this 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:31.800 is also the time period in which I had a 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.240 lot of time on my hands, did a. 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.199 Lot of therapy and all those things. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:40.679 And it's something about that movie that just like I 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:45.600 saw myself in that film in terms of maybe we 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:49.600 have this in common where my joke is matrix bullet dodging, 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.480 like compliments, I was the King of no All these 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.560 opportunities come up, and my first thought is I don't 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.839 want my light to shine so bright that it makes 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.359 others uncomfortable. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.760 I'd rather blend in, I rather dull myself. I'd rather 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:07.439 try to. 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:11.040 And you know, I'm well aware as a three hundred pounds, 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:15.439 six foot two black man with primitive, exotic hair and 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.920 all those things like me trying to play small in 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.600 Miss Package is it's stupid, you. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.160 Know what I mean? And I don't know that. I 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:24.439 watched that film. 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:25.960 About It's expansive. 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:27.440 I watched it ten times. 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:32.400 Yeah, yeah, And I think that helped me, especially especially 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.520 when that was my moment and when I got my 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.880 Oscar in twenty twenty two, like that was like my 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.560 biggest fear, like, oh God, what will happened now? Like 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.520 no one's going to talk to me and all my 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.200 friends are going to alienate me and da da da 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.960 da da da, And I just I was self evidencing, 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.560 like why I didn't deserve it? And somehow like that film, 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.760 when I see in it, it grounded me and it 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.840 helped me so but more than that, I meant, you 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:02.920 lost yourself in that character. And I knew instantly, like 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.000 maybe ten minutes into it, this is going to be 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:06.800 our Oscar moment. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.480 So there you go. 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:12.600 I love that I'm looking up something. Yes, I'm just 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.680 going to read you this. I'm sure you know it, 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.520 but I'm going to read it to you anyway, you 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.559 know why from here and you're here, and we're here together, 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.679 and you just said every word you just said. Our 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.920 deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:31.080 fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:35.440 our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:41.040 ask ourselves, who am I to be? Brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.480 who are you not to be? You are a child 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.040 of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:52.920 There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.959 won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.960 as children do. We are born to make manifest the 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.000 glory of God that is within us. It is not 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.600 just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.640 we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.200 people permission to do the same. As we are liberated 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:21.200 from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Mary 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:26.320 Anne Williamson wrote that, and then Nelson Mandela took it 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.920 and expanded it and made it his. But she wrote that, 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:34.480 and it is very important for you and I both 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.960 to know that fun fact, fun fact, that quote fun 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.080 facts with questlove that should. 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.760 Be like a little That quote you just read me 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.280 is on my three uh, I have three post its 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:52.480 on my mirror.

And you know, it's easy 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.440 to just cower under the covers and hide and whatever, 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.520 eat it away, smoke it away, sniff it away, shoot 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:55.920 it away. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.760 Whatever, you're you're talking to a dope fiend who's sober 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:06.400 twenty seven years congratulations. So you're talking to somebody who 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:07.960 understands what you're what you're saying. 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.560 Yeah, So I'd read that quote every morning, like literally 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:13.080 say it to myself. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:14.840 I should have just said, do you know the quote? 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.400 And then you have said yes, But I mean. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.120 I guess what, I skip that exercise this morning? 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.480 Okay, Well, I mean it is the why me?

And other people who are way more talented 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.640 than I am, way more beautiful than I am, way 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.680 more everything than well, no, it is the nature of 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:42.520 the beast. And yet the rocky theme for me represented 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.280 this sense that you can do it too, that there's 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.760 this dund dun d d d D and it just 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.200 by the end of it, you go, okay, I'm going 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:54.760 to go do it. 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.280 Well, let me ask you how old were you when 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:02.400 you realized the lineage you came from. Oh, like, when 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.280 did mom and dad stop being like, oh, those are 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:04.920 my parents too? 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.480 You know what? Honestly, you have to remember this was 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:12.040 all pre internet. There was no DVR. There were no tapes, 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.040 there were no DVDs. Your parents were in the movies. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.240 You rarely saw the movies your parents made because they 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.879 were in the theaters and most of them weren't kids movies. 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:22.600 How were you when you saw Psycho for the first time. 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.800 I don't even know. I think I made up a story. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.320 I have no idea I've seen it since. You know, 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.239 obviously people love that movie, and it's amazingly shot, and 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.399 of course my mom wrote a book about the shot 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:38.280 by shot, and you thing they've recreated the movie. Scarlett 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.600 Johansson played my mother in a version of the movie, 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.000 so obviously. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.280 You played your mother in a version of us. 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.240 I've played my mother, I know. I mean, what are 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.040 you going to do? It's yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. My 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:55.560 point is I only appreciate them now because I have 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:59.280 grown children. Most of my work my grown children haven't seen. 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.600 And this is now a digital world. My children could 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.200 see everything I've ever done. They don't, you know why, 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.840 It's not their fucking life. They're living their lives. They 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.320 don't want to look at my life anymore than I 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.720 wanted to look at my parents' life. I am a 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:18.400 forward person. I am a forward movement person. I am 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.080 zero sentimentality. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:20.840 Why is that? 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:26.240 I just don't hold on to something clinging? You know 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.600 what it is? It's there was that play called That 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:35.359 Championship Season about a group of guys who had great 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:41.359 success early when they were in athletics, and the rest 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:44.000 of their lives they've been looking back at that moment. 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.200 When I watch the Olympics, I watch all these young 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:52.000 people peaking, having these moments. When I see young people 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.840 succeed in any field, I always get a little bit 0:18:55.880 --> 0:19:00.400 of like, I am so happy that I'm the head 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:05.760 bitch and charge at sixty seven, Like I'm glad I 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.199 wasn't the head bitch in charge at thirty seven or 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:13.480 forty seven or fifty seven. I'm so happy that I 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.800 have the perspective that I have at my age to 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:22.320 really be able to put all of this into context, 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.760 versus getting that that attention very early that was not 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.720 in my don't put your finger up. I just saw 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:30.240 your finger. 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.440 He and I had. Look, I have to counter with it. 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.640 Are you you pulled out a random time period and said, okay, 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:40.280 when I was thirty seven, yeah, you did true lies. 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:42.399 At thirty seven, I was thirty five years old that 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.760 I was. I hung under that helicopter three days before 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.960 my thirty fifth birthday. I remember exactly, So even then 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:53.320 you felt like the underdogbe No, I'm just saying I didn't. 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.920 At that point, I was married, I had young children. 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:00.520 I was doing the dance of trying to be a 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:04.159 mom and a domestic person and an employer and a 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:08.000 home person and a wife and a partner and not 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.040 take all the focus. And you know, I get a 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:13.840 lot of attention, and you know children are supposed to 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:15.400 get the attention, not the parents. 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.720 So you are aware at least by that point, I mean, 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:19.840 you're pretty much. 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.560 Your name behind your back is like jameley Hurst. Damn. 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:26.240 I honestly, I know. 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.399 I'm allow yourself to bask in that. 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.840 I don't bask in anything, but I just don't it. 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.040 Life's too hard. Life's too hard for everybody. The world 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.560 is too complicated. There are too many great people who 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:42.840 never get an opportunity to do anything. I mean, die, 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:47.480 never having manifested their talents into any public forum, if 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.240
