1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. Ever since a massive

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: success of the Halloween reboot in twenty eighteen, Jamie Lee

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Curtis has seen a career resurgence that stands as the

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: most successful air of her career, culminating with her first

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: OSCAR nomination for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, where she's

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: up for Best Supporting Actress this weekend. It seems with

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: everything she's accomplished over the nearly five decade career, there'd

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: be nothing left on her bucket list professionally, but she's

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: yet to direct a film. She actually was set to

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: do that right before the pandemic struck, but the project

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: was canceled, and even if the opportunity never arrises again,

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: she can live with it. She tells IndieWire. I don't

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: need to direct to be complete as an artist. I

14
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: would like to because I'm visual and I like storytelling.

15
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm interested in expressing myself creatively. All I want to

16
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: do is be creative before I die. And if not now, when,

17
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: If not me, who? I've lost lots of people. That's

18
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: part of life, obviously. What I've learned about death is

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: that the real tragedy of death is the creativity and

20
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: the ideas that those humans could have brought to the universe.

21
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: The ninety fifth Oscars air Sunday on ABC that's direct

22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: from Hollywood.
