| 0:01.7 | Hey, Marie. Hi. Wait, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? I just popped in. This is kind of amazing. It is. So you've been on the show before, but not in a minute. That's true. And I got to say this. So, y'all, my man of 22 years wrote a freaking incredible book. What? So let me just be realties about this. |
| 0:23.2 | So obviously, you know, I didn't read any pages while you were writing at all or even after the draft came in. |
| 0:29.5 | And then there was so much happening, you know, parentals, all kinds of crazy. |
| 0:35.6 | You were getting things done. |
| 0:36.9 | So I actually didn't read it until it was like prepping for this interview. |
| 0:41.7 | And I got to say, I was just like a little nervous because I love you and you're brilliant. |
| 0:48.5 | But I have never really seen you write anything. |
| 0:51.2 | I've seen you act and perform. |
| 0:52.7 | So basically you were nervous because maybe it's going to suck. No, not that it was going to and then you'd have to say and then you'd have to. Hold on. You took it to a level. I was not nervous that it was going to suck, but I was just like, I don't know if my man can write and writing's a whole different skill and everything else. However, I told you this when I got into like a few |
| 1:11.3 | just, I maybe it was like 12 pages in. I was like, hot dig itty damn. My man. I was like, |
| 1:16.6 | it was actually, it was a sexy turn on. I have to tell you. I was yes. I was like and then. |
| 1:20.9 | Keep this bedside reading. And, um, but you did such an incredible, this is such a fresh, amazing book. |
| 1:29.2 | And like I knew deep, deep, deep down how brilliant you are, but I feel like this is a whole |
| 1:34.0 | new, not only side of you, but your ability to communicate is amazing. |
| 1:38.9 | So for everyone, I'm not just saying get his book because he's my man. |
| 1:42.6 | I'm saying this thing book is outrageously good. and we're going to talk all about it today. So I just wanted |
| 1:48.8 | you to hear that and I love you so much. Congratulations. Thank you. Take us back to the time |
| 1:54.3 | when you were just starting acting as a career. So you had studied in London, come back, |
| 2:02.4 | and you were starting to audition. And as you share in the book, it was disastrous. So all of your actor training said that you |
| 2:08.0 | shouldn't show up in auditions feeling anxious or nervous. And yet you were and you're feeling |
| 2:14.0 | like a fraud. Like, holy shit, I just spent all these years training to be an actor. |
