So it's a 23 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: she going back and giving yourself some advice that you'd 24 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: wish you'd maybe known at the time. 25 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 2: Oh, definitely, one hundred percent. 26 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 3: So the first book in Bella, The Brave, is about 27 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 3: overcoming shyness. 28 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: And I was a kid, like I was so painfully shy. 29 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: But kind of what happened, which is in the book, 30 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: is like my mum dragged me to classes at a 31 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: community center quite violently. No, not not violently, but like, 32 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 3: you know, she literally did drag me off the car 33 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 3: door because I wasn't going to go inside and talk 34 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 3: to people that I'd never met before. 35 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: Isn't it interesting how you go from being so introverted, 36 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: so shy, and yet you go into the most public 37 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: job in the world where you've become knowing all over 38 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: the world. But you wonder if you weren't shy and 39 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: you were popular at school all that, whether you choose 40 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: to go and do something like you've done. 41 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I actually think shy people make the best actors. 42 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 3: They're more observant and they can sit and watch other people, 43 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: and then that makes them sometimes better actors. Yeah, but 44 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 3: nobody would have thought, knowing me as a kid, that 45 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: I was going to be an actress. 46 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: If they'd know me when I was very young. Yeah, 47 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: because I was so shoy. 48 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: That's what young kids want to hear, because they only 49 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: know the end product. They know your journey now. They 50 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: just want that. They don't know that at the beginning. 51 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: There's no early signs of these kind of like oh, 52 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: at the age of five, they were discovered just doing 53 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: a cartwheel down the street. It's too intimidating for young kids. 54 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: And then well, that's not me. I'm hopeless, so I 55 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: don't fit into my body in the world. So I 56 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: think it's better. 57 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 4: I feel like I was pretty unremarkable in pretty. 58 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: Much always apart from being smart, which I wasn't even 59 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 3: really smart till about age eight because I had lead 60 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: poisoning also as a child. 61 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: What so like, it took me a little while to develop. 62 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: You aren't lead poisoning. Hope that's not in book two. 63 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 3: No, but yeah, I was part of some government study 64 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 3: till I was about seven about the lead poisoning. 65 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: This is incredible.
