oh hi i
[3]
i do that because i would see you when
[6]
you were
[7]
quite young uh we were in the same salon
[11]
yes we were you picked through my hair
[14]
to pick
[14]
colors of blonde because i'm a natural
[17]
blonde
[18]
i used to love picking through your hair
[20]
what good times
[22]
yeah we should do that again sometime
[25]
and your mom
[26]
is always so nice when i see her
[30]
and i i love your dad by the way too
[33]
it just makes me realize that we both
[35]
grew up in this sort of bohemian
[37]
unorthodox spend months
[40]
you know at a time in foreign lands
[44]
yeah it's a wild way to grow up i feel
[46]
like it made me
[48]
i don't know about you i feel like you
[50]
kind of are
[51]
similar in this way but it makes you
[53]
like really
[54]
adaptable kind of a very malleable
[56]
person and you can
[58]
be anywhere and i mean that's why you
[60]
are amazing on your show
[61]
is that you can talk to anybody about
[63]
anything you have this ability to kind
[65]
of
[66]
open your your awareness and your heart
[68]
and your mind to people
[70]
no matter who they are where they're
[71]
from or what they do so
[73]
that's probably like the greatest gift
[75]
that your upbringing gave you
[77]
well thank you for saying that i think
[79]
the word adaptable
[81]
is one of the most underrated words
[84]
because it really is it leads to a much
[88]
better life for you and everyone around
[90]
you do you
[91]
think you're adaptable i do
[94]
yeah i think unless you put like a some
[97]
kind of standardized test
[98]
in front of me i'm adaptable but not in
[101]
that
[102]
situation because i jumped from school
[104]
to school and i was home schooled and i
[106]
like struggled so much with homework and
[110]
you know all of the things that you're
[111]
supposed to learn when you're
[112]
consistently in one place
[114]
and i was you know living in spain and
[117]
budapest and
[119]
like cincinnati and it was all over the
[122]
map but
[123]
it made me love people and love
[126]
being places and no matter where i am i
[129]
feel like i'm pretty much
[131]
good i'm fine and i noticed in the
[134]
research i was doing that you do work
[136]
very hard on yourself
[138]
and you you know you
[141]
like therapy and since a young age
[143]
you've been self-aware
[145]
can you tell me about that because i
[146]
love that
[148]
i've been so lucky to be surrounded by
[152]
people who have
[153]
encouraged me to to go deeper into
[156]
myself
[157]
and i want to just be a good person and
[160]
be as as embracive
[164]
of others as i can and so i think
[166]
learning
[167]
about myself and about the even the
[170]
psychology of people like
[172]
even during quarantine i got really into
[174]
doing
[175]
online psychology courses because i
[177]
never went to college
[179]
um because i wasn't going to get into
[182]
college
[184]
um but i did these amazing courses and
[187]
and
[188]
i i'll probably be in therapy for the
[190]
rest of my life it's like
[191]
you never finish learning about being a
[194]
human
[196]
it's true we have this one beautiful
[199]
existence that we know of
[201]
and we're here to remain students and
[204]
keep learning and improving do you have
[206]
a ged
[208]
no do you ever want one i mean
[211]
i did graduate high school but i'm
[214]
pretty sure
[214]
i'm pretty sure it was like
[218]
really truly by the skin of my teeth
[221]
like i think they were like get just get
[223]
her out of here
[224]
give her the thing get her out of here
[227]
and i can't imagine you not
[231]
doing what you do because you're so good
[234]
at it and you're
[236]
thank you working in such a prolific
[239]
beautiful way
[240]
and in this latest film our friend
[243]
you play nicole who is a real person
[247]
with cancer and i was watching the film
[250]
last night
[251]
and i just was marveling
[254]
at your performance what was it like to
[258]
embody this woman it was really kind of
[261]
intense but
[263]
but not in a dark way we
[266]
and i think partly because we were
[267]
filming in the town where
[269]
where nicole teague is from and
[273]
her family lived there and her husband
[275]
matt who
[276]
wrote the original article that the
[278]
movie's based on
[279]
um lives in the town with the girls and
[282]
they'd come around to set but this town
[285]
fairhope
[286]
alabama was so small and everyone there
[290]
knew what we were doing and they knew
[292]
nicole and they you know say in the
[294]
restaurant that i went into
[296]
they tell she and matt used to come and
[297]
sit here and she always did this and we
[300]
remember her like it was just
[302]
very very intense and this movie is dark
[305]
and painful but it's also
[307]
light and silly and funny and that's the
[310]
kind of
[311]
um juxtaposition that i find in real
[314]
life
[314]
and for this movie to come out right now
[316]
is pretty intense but hopefully it'll
[318]
help people to to feel
[321]
inspired well it's beautiful
[325]
and you're extraordinary in it
[328]
and i can't wait for people to see it
[339]
you
