When has selfishness served you well?

Well, okay, selfishness.

I always think of selfishness as it being a bad thing.

Right.

But, you know, selfishness did apply because for many years, I keep getting offered the same

kinds of roles, which, you know, they were always a version of somebody nurturing, you know.

And I love that. It's great, but I've

exhausted doing that. I don't want to be... I got that down pat. Right, exactly. I'm Rachel

Martin, and this is Wildcard. The show where cards control the conversation. Each week,

my guest answers questions about their life, questions pulled from a deck

of cards. They're allowed to skip one question and to flip one question back on me. My guest this

week is Rita Wilson. If I want to do it, I'm going to do it. And if people like what I put out there,

that's great. And if no one listens to it, that's okay, too, because I'm doing it for myself.

You know, Rita Wilson on screen in many ways, as Tom Hanks' sister in Sleepless in Seattle,

Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife in Jingle All the Way, as Marnie's mom in the show Girls,

and again, as the mom in the Netflix show too much.

But it wasn't until she was in her mid-50s that Rita Wilson figured out how to take center

stage in her own life. And music made it happen. She's out with her newest album of original

songs that's called Sound of a Woman. And I am so very, very happy to welcome Rita Wilson to Wildcard.

Hi. Hi, Rachel. So nice to meet you, and it's really a pleasure to be here.

So first round memories, three cards. You pick Rita, one, two, or three. Well, I'm the middle child,

so I'm going to go with two.
