So I was like I got a chance to, 329 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, hang out with the cat, which was great. 330 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: And you know, I ended up seeing Hillary Clinton again, 331 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: like twenty years after the fact, and I knew I 332 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: was going to see her because she was speaking at 333 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: an event that I was at, and I thought, well, 334 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: if there's a chance that I could, you know, maybe 335 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: run into her, I should keep this. I snagged up 336 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 1: photo that we took together from twenty years ago on 337 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: my phone and I ended up getting to speak with 338 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: her and I said, I have I met you at 339 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: the White House and it was so amazing and I'm 340 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: sure because she's met a million horns two people, and 341 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: so I showed her the photograph and she loved it. 342 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: She was like, look at my hair. I'm like, look 343 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: at my hair. We were just like laughing at the 344 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: fact that our hair was so hers hers was really short. 345 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: It was really cute. She said she looked great, but 346 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: we were totally laughing like old girlfriends about her hairstyles 347 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: and what we were wearing. She goes, I remember that 348 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: pink suit. I'm like, oh my gosh, I said, I 349 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: don't know why I was wearing a man's blazer, but 350 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: I guess that made me feel official. But we were 351 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: dying and it was so funny, and yeah, it was 352 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: a really cool thing. We got to go into all 353 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: the different rooms and that we met in the we 354 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: had a meeting in the mapping room together. And she 355 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: just she loved Popular Mechanics for Kids because at the 356 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: time she was involved in educational programming in the US 357 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: and she was trying to get every broadcast station to 358 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: at least have one or two educational programs for kids. Yeah, 359 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: and so when she saw that Canada was doing Popular 360 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: Maccancs for kids, she ended up getting it syndicated through 361 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: the States. And yeah, she really liked it. So it 362 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: was really cool. 363 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 3: That is so cool. 364 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, on a broader scale, what were you like as 365 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: a teen? 366 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 3: Were you boy crazy? 367 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: Not?

So I just, yeah, 372 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 2: I love that for you, Well, were you into. 373 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: I think I was like an old soul. 374 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 3: You know. 375 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: I always thought that it's funny because it's so the 376 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: opposite of how my personal life turned out. But I 377 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: always thought that I wouldn't get married and that I 378 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: wouldn't have kids. And I was like dad set on 379 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: being a professional and wanting to just be this like 380 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, Meryl Street. I was so driven and 381 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,479 Speaker 1: I had like the horse blinders on and I I mean, 382 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: I had a boyfriend in high school that I had 383 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: for many years and I didn't really yeah, I didn't. 384 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: I didn't really have any others. And then it was 385 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: but I was really focused on my career and yeah, 386 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: and it wasn't. And I was terrified about having children too. 387 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: I felt like there's I was scared to, you know, 388 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: be pregnant. I was scared to think that I could 389 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: be like a great mom because my mom was so amazing. 390 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: And I was like, wow, I'm such a working person. 391 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: I don't see how this fits into my life. Yeah, 392 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: but then you know, you meet the right person and 393 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: then those things become so clear, yeah, and so factual 394 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: and correct, and yeah, you can't imagine not doing it. 395 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 3: So totally. 396 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that all shifted for me. But for many, many, many, 397 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: many many years, it was just all work driven, which 398 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: is crazy, right, And yeah. 399 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 3: I really do though. 400 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 2: I so appreciate that because it's the exact opposite of 401 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 2: how I was, and I wish I had been like 402 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: here I was from twelve to nineteen on boy meets World, 403 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: working and all I could think, thank you, And all 404 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: I could think was like, ugh, this career I have 405 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: is really taking me away from my purpose, which is 406 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: to get married and have children as soon as humanly possible. 407 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 2: And I think part of that was the fact that 408 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: my parents met at fifteen and got married at twenty one, 409 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: and so I just had in my mind that like, 410 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: that's what. 411 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 3: I was going to do. 412 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 2: And then of course that's not at all how my 413 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: life turned out. But I spent all those years thinking 414 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: that I was failing because that wasn't what was happening. 415 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: And so yeah, like I just I'm so I loved 416 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 2: hearing that you spent all those years being like, I'm 417 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: just gonna focus on me. 418 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 3: I was a cold hearted No, you had a long 419 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 3: term boyfriend. 420 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: It wasn't that you didn't have love in your life. 421 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 2: You just thought that was not what you were obsessed with. 422 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: You were like, I'm gonna develop my sense of self, 423 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 2: which I wish I had done more of in my 424 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 2: umber years. 425 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. I feel like what you experienced, though, 426 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: is very natural and makes a whole lot of sense. 427 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: I was just always conflicted as to why I didn't 428 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: want any of those things, and I just thought, that's 429 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: so strange to like not be one of like my 430 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: girlfriends or even my sister. I remember my sister, like 431 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: when we used to play when we were kids, it 432 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: was like, oh, her dolls were her babies, and I 433 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I. 434 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 3: Don't know, babies, ill not babies. 435 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: Ell. 436 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: No, did you go to traditional school while you were 437 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: working as a kid or did you were you always homeschooled? 438 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: I went to traditional school, although my experience was so 439 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: ridiculous because I probably should have been homeschooled. I think 440 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: a lot of my last three four years of high 441 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: school were you know, in the trailer and with the 442 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: on set tutors and you know, the drill. I did 443 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: all my exams and yeah, like the trailers. It was 444 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: so weird. I mean I remember at one point, like, 445 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: you know, your attendance report card at the end, and 446 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: it was like, I think I missed like half the 447 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: school year. But I will say when I was home 448 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: and you know, I would get back from filming, it 449 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: would go I'd go, yeah, just like a normal kid, 450 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: I'd go straight to school and regular high school. Yeah. 451 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: It was you know, it was weird. I I always 452 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: felt like high school and elementary at the time because 453 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: I was filming, felt like such a burden, like it 454 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: was in my way right. I was like, this is 455 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: like it was always aggravating because here I was trying 456 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: to focus one hundred percent of my time and energy 457 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: into what I was filming, and then they'd have to 458 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: like rip me off set for two hours to study 459 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,239 Speaker 1: math and English, and I'm like, I'm not gonna need 460 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: any of this. I want to learn English, and you know, 461 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: I yeah, I was like, I don't want to like 462 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: be in school. I have a job, Like, isn't the 463 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: whole point of going to school to train to do 464 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: something and I'm already doing it. So it always I 465 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: always had this like real bad tug of war with it, 466 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: and I couldn't wait for it to be over. And 467 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: then now again ironically I wish I would have had 468 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: like the college university experience and knew what that felt like. 469 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: I never got to really do any of that, And 470 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: I think i'd be a way better student now too, 471 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: because I you know, as you get older, you your mind, 472 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: you're quenched to like learn and take in new things 473 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: and experiences. And I know what I'd want to study, 474 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: and so it would be you know, at one point 475 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: during COVID, I almost try to do some online university classes, 476 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: and but then I was like, oh gosh, the kids, 477 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: and I was like, nah, maybe not, I'll just keep 478 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: drinking my wine. 479 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 3: What would you want to study now? 480 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: I think I would like history, art history. I think 481 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: like Cornell had some really cool like women leaders in 482 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: business nice. I don't know there was some other topics, 483 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: but yeah, I think like there were so many. And 484 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: I was extremely dyslexic as a child, okay, and which 485 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: most artists, I think most artistic people can be. It's 486 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: not uncommon. But I really struggled and then but now 487 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: I've found a way to you know, ease my mind 488 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: work into it. I read so much now and so 489 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: studying and all that I think would come a lot 490 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: more naturally to me, so yeah, but I did end 491 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: up doing it. 492 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 2: Very similarly, I also did not enjoy or appreciate school when. 493 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 3: I was I just it was.

So all I had was clothing and toils. 606 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: I have to tell you I wasn't afraid to be 607 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: in LA. I was excited.

But what I will say 610 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: is that the one thing I wasn't expecting was like 611 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: the loneliness. And I think, you know, not having DVDs 612 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: didn't help. 613 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 3: Nothing to watch. 614 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: I mean that was that was like my fallback of 615 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: like I know it when I'm not like reading scripts 616 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: and going to auditions. 617 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 3: Mom's asked my favorite movies. Yeah, didn't even have that. 618 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was my first experience away. And you 619 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: know how hard it is in LA to like meet people, 620 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: You're either in your car. I'm sure your guests have 621 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: said this. It's like LA is not a very easy 622 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: place to just socialize. When you're in New York. You 623 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: walk down the street, there's bodies, there's people everywhere. Yes, 624 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: LA doesn't have that culture. So I just spent a 625 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: lot of time by myself for a good I want 626 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: to say, like gear, Yeah, pretty secluded and that was 627 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: there were Yeah, there were moments where I just I 628 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: didn't want to give up. I didn't It didn't propel 629 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: me to like want to leave or give up on it. 630 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: It was, but it was just a feeling that I 631 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: had to like settle into my self and my loneeness 632 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: and my comfortable just being comfortable with being by myself and. 633 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 3: Being just with me, and such a good lesson. 634 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: But it's really interesting to confront because when you when 635 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: you grow up, you've got your siblings, and if you 636 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: don't have your siblings, you have your cousins, or you 637 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: have your parents are always there. You have your network 638 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: of friends that you go to school and see every day, 639 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: and then you're just like I was just picked right 640 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: up out of that whole situation and then just pluck 641 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: plunked myself down into an apartment with zero nothing, and 642 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: I went, whooh, you know, and I didn't have a boyfriend. 643 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: I didn't have It wasn't like I was like having 644 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: like phone conversations with a long distance board. I really 645 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,479 Speaker 1: was very very alone. But it helped me focus on 646 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: the goals, which were, you know, getting out there and 647 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: succeeding and whatnot. So it wasn't totally bad, but wow, 648 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: that was an interesting time. 649 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 2: So when in that process after moving to LA did 650 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 2: you read for twenty four. 651 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: Six months into that, Wow, six months into that, I 652 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: ended up. 653 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 3: I had it. 654 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: They don't do these things anymore, but or at least 655 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: I don't think they do unless they're bringing them back 656 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: and maybe you can tell me. But I had a 657 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: network deal, like an exclusive network deal with Fox when 658 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: I got there, so I was only allowed to audition 659 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: for Fox shows pilots, Okay, that didn't cross over into 660 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: the feature side of things, but it was exclusive for television, 661 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: so my auditioning was Back then, there was a ton 662 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: of stuff for men of every network, but you know, 663 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: Fox definitely had a lot of stuff going on. So 664 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't like I was lacking in anything as far 665 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: as like auditions go, but I was only auditioning for them, 666 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: and I got close to a couple of things, and 667 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: then twenty four was but I was getting dangerously close 668 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: to like the end of my stay, okay, and I 669 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: remember being like, I don't know if this is going 670 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: to work out, I'm gonna have to go back to Canada, 671 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go to college or you know. 672 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,959 Speaker 1: I just I wasn't sure what was going to happen, 673 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: and I was really nervous about it. All, and I 674 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: ended up getting the twenty four pilot script, and it 675 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: was my last audition before I was the deal was 676 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: going to be up and I was going to be 677 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: heading back, so there was a lot on it. But 678 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: I also thought, you know, I took a crack at it, 679 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: and maybe if I can go back and work in 680 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: Canada and save up some more money, I'll have enough 681 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: to keep going and come back. But then I went 682 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: in and auditioned and I didn't hear anything for like 683 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: a week, and then I got a call saying, oh, 684 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: they want to read you again, and then they want 685 00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: to read you again, and then so it was like 686 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: three four times I went in and then and then 687 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: I had a screen test with Kiefer and it was 688 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 1: like me and another girl, and I just thought, okay, 689 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: let's see what happens. And I just gave it my all. 690 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: And I thought, you know, I'm not gonna worry about it. 691 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put stress on myself. I'm just gonna go. Really, 692 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be really prepared ready to go. And I 693 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: went in and then I was driving driving home and 694 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, well, I guess this is it. 695 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: And then as soon as I got into the apartment, 696 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: I had a voicemail and it was my agent going 697 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: turn back around. They want to do a wardrobe fitting. 698 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: You're filming on Monday. 699 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. 700 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god.

Yeah, 716 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: it's so And even like the auditioning process, I don't 717 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: I can't even I went into I don't know if 718 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: you've been in one recently, but I went into one 719 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: audition like physically went in And now because we now 720 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: we put ourselves on like if something comes up and 721 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: they need a tape, you do it yourself. Now because 722 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: of after COVID, everything has changed. And but I did 723 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: get a call for a show recently, like I think 724 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: five months ago or something, and they were like, oh, no, 725 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: they're they're seeing people in person. And I went oh, 726 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, that's fine, and so I 727 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: prep it and I do everything, and then I got 728 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: in there and there was like all the producers and 729 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: then the camera. It had been so long, and I 730 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: just I mean, I've been doing you You've been doing this. 731 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: I've been doing this for decades, two decades, and I'm like, 732 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I reverted back to like it's 733 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: eleven years old. And I was like and I couldn't 734 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: even speak, and I was like and I said, to know, 735 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, I have to start again. I'm like, yeah, 736 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, my hands are shaked. I'm like, why am 737 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: I shaking? This is very weird. 738 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 2: I have not been in an audition room in a 739 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 2: very long time. But I did have my first like 740 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 2: in person meeting, just you know, a non zoom meeting, 741 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 2: and it was it was the same thing. I was like, 742 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 2: you can see the lower half of my body. I'm 743 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 2: not used to that. I like, I don't know what 744 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 2: to do with my hands, And when there is a silence, 745 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 2: I felt like I had to immediately fill it. 746 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 3: It was so it was so weird. I was like, 747 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 3: I don't know how to have meetings in person anymore. 748 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was so funny because I had this 749 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: like outer body experience, and that's sort of what like 750 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: stumped me a little bit because as soon as we 751 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 1: started getting into the scene, I like left my body 752 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: and I started seeing myself, like you said, trying to 753 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: fill the space. And I was like rushing through this 754 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: dialogue and I was like, this is not even how 755 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: I act. Like I don't even understand like what this 756 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: performance is that I'm trying to pull off. But I 757 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: was like I had to halt it. I was like, 758 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 1: oh no, no, I was just like this is so weird. 759 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,800 Speaker 3: Sorry, let me start again. I'm going to take a breath. 760 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: But I think it's just like another byproduct of that 761 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: COVID experience in that we've now all had to sort 762 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: of find ways to do what we do away from 763 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: human beings and then to get myself into a room 764 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: which used to be so normal to me feels so 765 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: foreign because we're just so not used to the process 766 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: with other human beings around, and that human connection it 767 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: changed the energy within me in such a way that 768 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: I was like taken aback and I thought, oh, I 769 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: got to work on that, because that's not me and 770 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: nor was it ever my experience before that. So I 771 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: just got so used to sort of, you know, curating 772 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: my own stuff, editing my own tapes, you know, doing 773 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: all those things. So it was really an eye opener. 774 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: But it's funny, I don't you know. We just did 775 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: shot this show in Vancouver, and I will say that 776 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: didn't feel any different, and filming didn't feel different, and 777 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: if anything, that's like my happy place. Yeah, but you know, 778 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: those audition spaces are very awkward because it's just a 779 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: weird room, an office. It's it's they're not they're not 780 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 1: like the real deal. 781 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,439 Speaker 3: YEP, I totally know exactly what you mean. 782 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 2: It feels very and also if you are very performative, 783 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 2: you have you are literally there to perform, and yet 784 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 2: you also are supposed to be based in reality and grounded, 785 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,399 Speaker 2: and so there's a there's like a real you where 786 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 2: you talk for a little bit first and then you 787 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 2: have to. 788 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 3: Do the performative you. 789 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: For you know, it was so funny. We didn't even talk. 790 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: It was like okay, go and I was like, oh, oh, 791 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: we don't even get to like no, like, how's the 792 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: weather today? 793 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 3: Nothing? 794 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: No? Nothing? No? 795 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 3: All right? 796 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 797 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 2: I know that when I watched TV, because you know, 798 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 2: we grew up in the business, I'm always wondering what 799 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 2: was the shoot like, And when watching twenty four I 800 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:25,720 Speaker 2: remember constantly thinking, this seems very challenging. I am guessing 801 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 2: there were a lot of middle of the night shoots, 802 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 2: action scenes with stunts, intense continuity. 803 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 3: There was a lot of running, too much running. If 804 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 3: you ask me what was shooting that show. 805 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: Like very intense. You nailed all the major points of 806 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: that experience. I would say continuity for sure. But we 807 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: had great continuity people, so that helped. I don't know 808 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: if you've ever been like on a quick film where 809 00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: you're like also having to focus on continuity. It's really difficult. 810 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 3: It is very difficult. 811 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's not great, but no, on that show, 812 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: they it was it was like a well oiled machine. 813 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: I will say so, I really only had to like 814 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: dial in and focus on what I needed to do, 815 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: but it was my stuff was very intense and trying 816 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 1: to not make that character Kim Bauer feel like, you know, 817 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: a burden in a way, you know, and and bring 818 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: as much realism to the ridiculous scenarios that she was 819 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: involved in. And I, you know, it's so funny. I 820 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 1: have a couple of young actresses that I know now 821 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: that are in that stage of their career where, you know, 822 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: you hit an age where you're too young to do 823 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: any of the younger stuff, but you're not old enough 824 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: to play you know, the wife, the you know or 825 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: the love interests, and you end up slotting yourself into 826 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: the daughter role. Like at some point, if you're starting 827 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: off as a child actor, you're gonna you're gonna end 828 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 1: up being the daughter role. Yep, maybe even more than once. 829 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: And the daughter role is really challenging because the daughter 830 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,479 Speaker 1: role is a role that I can't really die because 831 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: it's it's too sacred. But at the same time, they 832 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: have to write you in and find ways to keep 833 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: your relevant. And you see that with a lot of 834 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: different shows. Although Landman is doing a great job with 835 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, Ali latter's playing the amazing mom and her daughter, 836 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 1: and you know, the their writing is becoming really interesting. 837 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: But for a long time, I think that daughter role 838 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: always felt like the Kim Bauer. I was like, I 839 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: was like the epitome of the daughter role, right right, 840 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: It's a stereotypical daughter role. But yeah, it was. It 841 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: was intense. It was a lot of fun though. But 842 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: we did a lot of night shoots. We I remember, 843 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: I think for like, I don't know what it was 844 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: five months out of the year. I was sleeping during 845 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: the day, work being during the night. Yeah, it was 846 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: a lot. 847 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,959 Speaker 3: Did you like being an action star? 848 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: I did? Actually, I loved it. Yeah. I feel like 849 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: House of Wax. I got to do a bunch of 850 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: action too towards the end of the film, which is 851 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: I got to pull my experience from twenty four. Yeah. 852 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: Action is really is great. I love it. 853 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 2: I want to talk about this era we grew up 854 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 2: into of the men's magazine. Oh yeah, every I mean 855 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 2: the teen idol publication transformed into basically bikini photoshoots with 856 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 2: matchups between us about who's hotter, which is super cool, brutal. 857 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 2: Did that kind of attention make you uncomfortable at the 858 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 2: time or did you just embrace it? 859 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: Oh? I think I was pretty uncomfortable. 860 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 861 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I never really understood it, and I also knew 862 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: that it was a beast of a thing that was 863 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: that was undeniable and unavoidable, correct, right, Like, I don't 864 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 1: think there was a time or space where you felt 865 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 1: like you could go to your publicism and be like, 866 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 1: absolutely not. I mean no, the viewership, the amount of 867 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 1: people that tuned into that kind of stuff, and the 868 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 1: volume in which the magazines were selling was beyond so 869 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: it was undeniable and you just felt like anytime, or 870 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,799 Speaker 1: at least I did. I felt like anytime we were 871 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 1: going to promote something, whether it was twenty four Old 872 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: School or the Girl next Door especially, it was like 873 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: get her on the cover of yeh Men's magazine. 874 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 2: Yep, it was feel one of the highest I mean, 875 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 2: it was one of the most sought after promotional tools. 876 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 2: And that's how it was just sold to us that 877 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 2: it was promo. It was promo for your projects. 878 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: I think I resented it a little bit because I 879 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: felt like it pulled me away from the ability to 880 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 1: They just slotted me into that and made me feel 881 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 1: like that's where I belonged, and I was like, well, 882 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 1: I have so much more to offer than just my 883 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 1: physical attributes, obviously, and I thought, you know, fashion magazines 884 00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 1: are not going to want to touch that or me 885 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 1: in any way. And you know, that was the one 886 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: issue I had with it, because once you got into that, 887 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: it was like that was your esthetic.

You were twenty and 980 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 2: you don't feel that way, but everyone's looking at you 981 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 2: like that's who you are, that's how we perceive you. 982 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 2: And so yeah, requires requires quite a bit of acting. 983 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,479 Speaker 1: And I also do, like I always I laugh because 984 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,360 Speaker 1: of Meil Hersch and I we joke about it. But 985 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 1: like there's like a love scene at the end of 986 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 1: the film in the in the limousine after prom and 987 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: my because it was in the back of a limousine, 988 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: my side of it. Filming was literally with like an 989 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 1: apple box, which for people at home that don't know, 990 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,359 Speaker 1: it's like just a square little box and that with 991 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 1: no a meal, with no like interaction with him at all, 992 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,799 Speaker 1: just a camera and this box and then flip side 993 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 1: for a meal as well. I mean he was on 994 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 1: the other side of it. And then just like kind 995 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 1: of looking up into camera. I mean, so it's funny, 996 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,880 Speaker 1: like people don't realize that the movies take a certain 997 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,439 Speaker 1: you know, you have to really put yourself out there 998 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 1: and go for it, and it's not always the most 999 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,240 Speaker 1: comfortable situation, and it's certainly not as it always seems 1000 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,879 Speaker 1: when you're when you're watching the film, but it all 1001 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 1: comes together really beautifully. And I really cared about that 1002 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:17,799 Speaker 1: character a lot because I thought, you know, she had 1003 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 1: a lot of heart and soul and she was vulnerable, 1004 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 1: and I didn't look at it as a movie about 1005 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 1: a porn star who was just sort of silly and frivolous, 1006 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: you know. I really felt like she was searching for 1007 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 1: her soul and her her purpose and falling in love 1008 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,400 Speaker 1: with this young man was a part of her journey. 1009 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 1: And I just thought it was a beautiful film. And yeah, 1010 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 1: but it was. It was. It was. It was a 1011 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,440 Speaker 1: definitely a difficult film to do, but it was.

You know 1078 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,040 Speaker 1: how the years just sort of fly by. But then yeah, 1079 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,880 Speaker 1: and then when yeah, every year after it came around 1080 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 1: and the project I started, you know, wrapping my head 1081 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,480 Speaker 1: around coming back to filming and being a part of 1082 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,239 Speaker 1: something again. And the show came about. I was like 1083 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 1: I read the script and I thought, wow, well, how 1084 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: perfect you know, sort of art imitating life in that 1085 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 1: the Szoo character is such a maternal force for this show, 1086 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, this is like the perfect back 1087 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,040 Speaker 1: introduction into coming back to work, and I just yeah, 1088 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,960 Speaker 1: I got to set, and that all all felt very 1089 00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,799 Speaker 1: very natural, funny enough. That felt really good And I 1090 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 1: didn't feel at a place or nothing felt awkward. It 1091 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,360 Speaker 1: just felt like it goes exactly where I was supposed 1092 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: to be. 1093 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:13,319 Speaker 3: Oh, I love that. 1094 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 2: That's a great feeling because you know, similarly to what 1095 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 2: we talked about going back into an auditioning room. 1096 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that didn't feel good at all. 1097 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, that didn't feel good. So knowing like showing up 1098 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 2: on set and being. 1099 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,960 Speaker 3: Like, ahh, this is right. I'm alostay. 1100 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 1: I never as much as I would I would always 1101 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,839 Speaker 1: have to like really prepare for auditions. I will say 1102 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,359 Speaker 1: I never was like the greatest at it to begin with. 1103 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,319 Speaker 1: So I think auditioning is always awkward, like taking that 1104 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,760 Speaker 1: much time off. I was like, oh, not so great 1105 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 1: for me. But yeah, no, the set felt like, you know, 1106 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,359 Speaker 1: it's like my home. Yeah, it always felt that's always 1107 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,760 Speaker 1: felt like home. I've never felt uncomfortable on set. 1108 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:56,000 Speaker 2: Good every year after began as a beloved romance novel, 1109 00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,560 Speaker 2: especially within the book talk culture, were you will of 1110 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,120 Speaker 2: the rabid fandom and did it scare you a little 1111 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 2: bit when you were trying to figure sue out. I mean, 1112 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 2: you are obviously competing against what they've had in their 1113 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,720 Speaker 2: heads for all this time. 1114 00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 1: And I think I always will be competing with what 1115 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,200 Speaker 1: people have in their heads because as an avid reader myself, 1116 00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 1: I feel the same way. I have a vision. But 1117 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 1: it's funny. I don't know for people that read if 1118 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 1: they feel this way. And maybe I'm alone on it, 1119 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 1: but when I read, I have an idea, but it's 1120 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 1: kind of fuzzy mine too. 1121 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 3: I couldn't agree with you more. Yeah, it's very It's 1122 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 3: very like with a filter, a blurry filter. 1123 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:38,680 Speaker 1: It's a blurry filter. I mean it's clear, but it's not. Yeah, 1124 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: So I always like, let myself have a little grace 1125 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,640 Speaker 1: and that, like, I wouldn't be disappointed if so and 1126 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,960 Speaker 1: so played that character. But I will say I do 1127 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 1: have I think I have a sort of an aesthetic 1128 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,080 Speaker 1: for it, but a blurred vision of it. But I 1129 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 1: I will say, when I got the script, I then 1130 00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,480 Speaker 1: found out that it was based on a novel by 1131 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 1: Carl Fortune, and she's Canadian, and so even more so 1132 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 1: I was really because being Canadian, I was like, oh 1133 00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,840 Speaker 1: my gosh, I now that I know that i'm doing 1134 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 1: the show, I'm going to read the book. So I 1135 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:14,640 Speaker 1: got the book and I was hooked, and I thought 1136 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,160 Speaker 1: it was so well written. I ended up reading the 1137 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:22,440 Speaker 1: next book based on the other son's character, Charlie's character, 1138 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: and then I read all her other books. I went 1139 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:30,959 Speaker 1: into like this crazy fandom thing myself with Carly's novels. Yeah, 1140 00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,520 Speaker 1: and then of course, because of my algorithm, I ended 1141 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,840 Speaker 1: up figuring out what book talk was, and so I've 1142 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 1: got I do I do see and get a lot 1143 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 1: of recommendations based on obviously liking all. 1144 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 3: That other stuff exactly. 1145 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. But yeah, as far as like, sorry, your question 1146 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,320 Speaker 1: was the pressure, you know, I will say that I 1147 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,120 Speaker 1: did put a lot of pressure on myself because I 1148 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 1: had a vision for her, Like I said, a little 1149 00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 1: blurry vision, but I did have a vision for her. 1150 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 1: But my biggest thing was if if I could take 1151 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,480 Speaker 1: away anything from the novel, and what Sue meant to 1152 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 1: me was that like she just had this like joy 1153 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 1: and love and presence about her and everyone wanted to 1154 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,880 Speaker 1: be around her. Yeah, So I was just like, as 1155 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,120 Speaker 1: long as I can convey that and people feel like 1156 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: they love Sue, then I feel like I've done a 1157 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 1: good job, so I hope. I hope they feel that 1158 00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: and that passion I have for her from reading it. 1159 00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:27,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1160 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 2: Good, Well, I can't wait to see it.

Though? 1165 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,520 Speaker 2: Because I do love to read, So I'm wondering, like, 1166 00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 2: should I watch and then read? 1167 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,800 Speaker 1: I will discourage you from reading first, but I will 1168 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 1: say I would maybe watch it because then the book 1169 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 1: you'll kind of know where the story goes, and there 1170 00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,200 Speaker 1: might be some spoilers, got it? So maybe I just 1171 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,920 Speaker 1: watch and then. But what I will say is, why 1172 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,160 Speaker 1: don't you watch this season and then read the next 1173 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,000 Speaker 1: book which takes Pasey.
