"Sarah Paulson"

Well, what do I say? I don't know what I say. What do I do? All right, so I'm gonna finish my peanut butter. It's probably really annoying to hear me to peanut butter sandwich.

I.

Have a 130 Pickup and a 2 o'clock crew call and 2 30 shoot time.

So Jason's describing his first day of work, which is tomorrow at a fish market at 2 in the morning It's a shoot and in a real fish market. That's.

Smelly and stinky, and yeah, the hours of operation is 2 to 6 a.

Welcome, you're up, That's 2 in the morning's rough. Yeah, I don't know.

I guess I'm gonna go to sleep at 6 or something. try to sleep for a little bit, or should I just stay up? She just go get a big fat bag of white and stay up all night. Just start counting days again.

Okay, I told I said to Jay he was thinking of Opening the first day. gifts or whatever, you know, start gifts and a man. last night I was with Will Jason and I said to Amanda I said the cookie thing, There's like a new place in New York that makes pie cookies. You believe Sean knows about that and they know They also make croissants stuffed with cookie dough. It's amazing, Christ.

Yeah, and I'm stuffed with cookie dough, that's right. Yeah, and and what do you think I said to the that pitch as As as start gifts was? do you think it was a no or do you think was a yes?

Well, I'm just trying to imagine your tone. I bet it wasn't. I wasn't considered friendly. No.

It wasn't, it was, it was very judgy. Yeah, it shut me down immediately.

We, Yeah, Sean and I were talking on the weekend. We saw each other last night. Yeah, that's what Sean just said. Yeah, and we were with your wife, and I spent a lot of time with your wife last night.

Well, what the boys say about it?

Well, I you know what? I did. I talked to him a little bit about it and I said, you know, what you got to remember is that these, some of these, these companies are trying to. there are people out there who knew that this stuff would be addictive to you guys and They, and they fed it to you and like big tobacco. But you know, in a way, in a way in a similar way, and I was like, how does that make you feel?

Something to figure out. How are they? Are they able to manage boredom, like, do they have coping skills for like riding in an elevator and not doing anything? Except staring at the wall or sitting at a red light and watching traffic go by, you know, like that's something we had no choice but to get comfortable with, and and it it has. I'm glad I have that skill.

Think of, and that boredom led to.

Creative thinking thought. Yeah, exactly. Do you want to hear my thoughts when I'm sitting in a red light? Can I guess?

Yeah, you can get a fart joke in here somewhere.

The thoughts are glazed or cake.

So I don't want a phone taking all that away from me. hot caramel. Fuck it both. hot fudge caramel. Fuck it, All right, anyway, look it, I'm not, we're not good.

I covered the camera with toilet toilet paper. Are you dead? It would have been better if it was clean.

But use toilet paper, it's not clean. So are you in the bathroom? I'm upstairs. I'm upstairs. Yeah, near a bathroom.

I'm just here while I'm doing the play, but this is your. this is your apartment. We're visiting you in your apartment while you're doing the play. I'm actually staying at a.

Friend's apartment. renting that apartment. Gotcha. Oh, and and and the play.

We should mention is that the Tabasco Theatre, by the way, it's at the spicy Tabasco Theatre. That's really the Belasco. That's where Sean won his Tony And Sarah's well, on her way to hers, Tony. Yes,

Yes, it's the golden touch of that theater, Sarah, I'm telling you, in her incredible play called appropriate Everybody if you're no appropriate. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. So talk about that, because we were like it's spelled the same and I was like, Oh, I didn't know, it's true.

Well, I think at the beginning of the play there's that sign right, that sort of drop in front of the curtain that Describes all of the various ways. and the noun in the verb. Yeah, the noun in the verb. Yeah. What is well doing, hi.

Working on a smartphone. he's well, we don't really know. you know, I got some notification to verify that. it's me on my Google. I don't know, but I was listening and what I was thinking was, I mean just exactly.

Weirdly, I I wanted to talk to will. I mean, I know you both, great Sean, and I'll take a tight fight more interested in.

But why is it appropriate, appropriate instead of appropriate? I think appropriate could work, just beautiful.

I think it could, and I think it's why he offers both options at the beginning of the play, because all of it is Applicable, but I think I did ask him directly. it is appropriate.

All right, I think I think he's wrong.

I'm gonna tell him wait, so I want to do so. we went backstage. First of all, go see the play. It's amazing. You're phenomenal in it, especially that last monologue was incredible.

Meaning no, I mean Jason has a lot of skills, But this one particular assessment is not one of them. I tell you what do yourself a favor.

Don't ask either of them to define it, because it'll be embarrassing for everybody.

So, moving forward, I want to talk about flying and your fear of flying like why this is.

Sorry, before we move beyond the play will. are you gonna find some time to come? see the play? Yeah, I am.

Well, I'm gonna see the play I had.

You know, I hate knowing when people are out there. just give her a ballpark, I'd say it, but she hates knowing.

Yeah, I wanted to cuz I was gonna say I was about to tell you and then she's like I got till June 23rd, buddy.

But I don't want to know. I don't want to know, you know, I don't like to know it. I'm the same. I don't like to know when people are coming. I don't care if it's your dry cleaner.

You're gonna say I don't. I don't want to know if you're in the play tonight.

This is how I ended up with three kids. Yeah, people didn't want to know when I was coming. Hey, listen.

Back to you. That was.

sir, how is that at the end? where you know? for for Tracy in Wisconsin it is. it is a practice, a habit, a an obligation for Anyone in the audience who knows a cast member, or even if you don't know them, You just happen to be famous. Jason's up with us.

It's not my favorite. Yeah, although I will tell you, we've had a couple of Fancy famouses come and not come backstage, and we all collectively discuss that. we think it means that they didn't like it. Yeah, sure, but then we sort of think well, but think about it this way. So you're so famous.

Yeah, if, if, if, before June 23rd, I find myself at the Tabasco Theatre. Yeah, and, and I've seen the play and I have and I've enjoyed it, and I'm the first one to my feet and my hands hurt from all the clapping Mm-hmm, and and I'm just and I'm hooting and hollering. and then there's the moment If you guys find out that I'm there and I don't come backstage, Are you, does you, do you and your cast want me there? and there's a thumbs up? I just want to make it really make a point of this.

I think we would. we would discuss that. We thought Will Arnett didn't like the play. really. That's what we.

Yeah, what if he didn't? this is all I want.

But what if he doesn't like the play and he comes backstage and he and he lets you know He thinks he's got helpful notes for you. He says yeah. Yeah. No, I enjoyed it. However, like, has anyone come back there and popped off about how you can make it fucking better?

That has not happened, although I would. I would kind of welcome it. actually, just Just simply so I could discuss it with other people about the average. I did do. I've got one.

Did the character before you cut to two days later?

I got an email that was six pages long of notes and and a Communication to me about what she had done when she had done the play. Oh, she's correct. what she recommended I do. It was outrageous. Oh my, it was really outrageous.

You still have the letter. I have it. I do have. did you talk to your mother and say please delete her numbers?

I didn't. I sort of just you know, put it back in the file of things. My mother has done.

You need to save that, Sarah. Sarah, can I just say that I need to say something? neither. Yeah, if you don't mind.

Yeah, Okay.

I don't know you as well as these guys, and I have a I have a real feeling that you and I are gonna be Better friends than they could ever imagine. I love you for saying that so fucking much. Oh, yeah.

No, you two would be inseparable.

Sarah, I have all the time when people and when they fucking deserve it now.

This is the deal you Cannot come to. you want to if you're my dearest friend and we go have a cocktail or a. you know A little breadbasket, Jason, or some air that we might eat, Jason, but you know You might eat some air. Air is so tasty.

So here it is. So at the top of the show.

But I would say this for Trish. I will say this for Trish, Sarah it's we have.

here, by the way.

My mom will probably trot her out. you try to bring her to the next play. by the way, all serum.

I also have a mom who says a lot of inappropriate stuff.

We all do, my mom also. my mom's gonna get so upset about this, but, like Cate Blanchett came to the play the same night that my mother came, same afternoon that my mother came and Margo Martindale came also, and all these people I love and I have long relationships with, and I've worked with Kate three times. I worked with Margo more than once and I, of course, was really happy to see them. and I was. I'm not saying I wasn't happy to see my mom, But it was like maybe the.

She didn't like that and I don't think she loved it.

And I think her her her way. her retribution is to just give me like a little less than I hope for, Because because I got to keep in your place. It's just got to keep me a little. yeah, Yeah, and she was like, I mean, I know we're supposed to go out. I don't know why I'm making my mom sound like this, like Grand Dom of like Fifth Avenue or something.

They belong, and poor Trish or Trish Trish. I love smartless. She's Every week.

About 25 million listeners per month. Trish is about to get the bombardment She never knew she deserves, by the way, the one she deserves. She brought it on. She's a yes.

Sona non grata, that email on Instagram faster than you can say. Trish Hawkins. We're gonna put it in the chat. Oh.

And we will be right back.

Sarah Paulson, I want to talk about the fear of flying. You're my hero.

Can I just say you're my hero and you haven't even gotten into your shared fear of flying? Oh.

Yeah, yeah, we're best friends. your birthday hate to be, not to be to Amanda Anka about it, but when's your birthday?

God, we're even better for May 4th. May 4th. Yeah. Okay, 4th of May. All right.

What sign is that?

Taurus of the Taurus, and what's your rising? Do we know what you're rising?

But if you, that's not true, I was on a Falcon last week.

Is that not? he doesn't. he doesn't like the Falcons.

Planes are even scarier to me. I don't enjoy it.

more room for us.

Sir, I want to talk, so you. yeah, here's my thing about pilots and I love hearing that you like to meet the pilot before. What I do is I like to say the pilots what, how we looking right for a journey? Because what I don't enjoy is if you get on a flight and you have a bunch of turbulence and the pilot doesn't say he Doesn't come over the correct. if it's the lack of communication.

But that's a but. sir, do you have this too? Cuz? I have a little bit of this to the second year. that, and the right before the pilot speaks.

We've got. we got some bumps coming up. give you a lay of the land, Which is why I like to talk to them, because I say the same thing how we looking. they often pull up the iPad with The root and they show me where the pockets of potential weather. They show me this is there on Delta United.

Well, you know what it is, you know why, cuz. you know what it is this communicate? This is a relationship and in the relationships really work with communication. So you need to have this communication. Hey, You can't grow up, Sean, for a second, then take five.

You back on a tight side, Sarah, why don't you? why don't you fucking? when's the last time you had a bunch of passengers? stop by the cockpit and ask for.

No, what, Jason? when you walk on the cockpit, you open. it's right there.

Yeah, but if everybody stopped and asked to look at the iPad for the routing, look at the iPad.

I'm asking how we're doing, and they often pull out the iPad as a way of saying here what, here's what we're doing. I asked them how the plane looks. who did the checkout like? who went around and checked out the plane? I want to know how long they've been flying.

Yeah, I want a little hint as to what. what chair the Marshall sitting in just for fun. Sometimes I've done that.

What if it's Sarah? What if you're like how long I've been flying in some 20 year old? He's like I'm just flown for one week.

Well, I want you to know that it's literally every, every single pilot joke that is made to me every time I asked him.

Look host. today's the first day. I'm like.

Not funny at all.

how about? I don't like to meet the pilots, because if I meet the pilots, it becomes too human to me and I don't like To imagine the fact that a human being is even possible. It's not this. you can't fly a plane Like I like to see. you trust a robot more than a human.

He sits down. He sits in a seat and he plugged, and he plugs a type-c Plug into the side of his head and that goes into the side of the plane and then he just power down.

In five hours. so, Sarah, are you also? Type of gal likes to chat with the uber driver. Nope. Don't want to talk to the uber driver.

I don't. I did see that, but I thought that was rude. to click on it to make a point. I click on it to Make it like a rule for them. Yeah, I'd rather just let my my, my behavior and my demeanor communicate.

So if you, if you got in the uber and the guy started asking a question, you would just stop him and say check my profile.

Right. Well, yeah, no exactly. I mean. think about the kind of vibe you got to kick out to him. That's true, to get him to be quiet is more rude than him being pre-warned that this person's not up for a conversation.

I think I feel really Uncomfortable in general in an in a car where someone's driving, I have to chat senselessly.

Just what if there was a box for smart list and you just checked it. I'd rather not chat today.

If they tried talking me. I was there was good. Why will you do? and I just go? sorry man.

So I love this stuff because you, you're not only afraid of flying, but clowns, sharks, bees, and then you have What do you write for phobia? try before I have that type of phobia, I can't trip it.

I don't actually know how it's pronounced like. Jason doesn't know about appropriate. appropriate, but it's it's trip a phobia. try for phobia, I don't know.

What about it? What about an English muffin?

No, it's not. I mean those are nooks and crannies. Those aren't holes.

Those are nooks and crannies, Sean. Swiss cheese wrecks your night. No, because they're not close enough together. It's about when they're packed tight, right? So a loofah.

That sounds like bullying. That's a.

Decade, you passed your fears or did it make it worse? It just it just.

It kept it at a steady, at a steady, Steady place. I kept it on high, but the bee thing, you know, I've never been not to bring up my mother again, But my mom, you know, that's what this is about. She locked me outside.

I really don't like. it's my kryptonite. I'm allergic. Have you been stung, though? I've been stung twice.

No, I might be making it into something that is, or I'm actually definitely allergic, and it's my, you know.

No, mine's gotten less as I as I've gotten older, but I, the thing for me is that I you, can't feel them when they land on you, and so the shock of the sting is just gonna come out of nowhere, as opposed to, You know, if I'm like if I'm in a fight with a bee, and he gets better of me.

I'm not gonna be. you know, I'm gonna get what if you had one super tiny boxing gloves on and they did?

That's a great idea showing stupid fucking dick.

You guys want to hear my my ultimate king, my ultimate fantasy, and I'm gonna tell anyway, oh, here we go. It's I'm getting stung by a bee. I'm sitting on a big sponge Going through turbulence with clowns. I'm going to turbulence. Yeah, with a clown pipe, with a clown pilot.

All right, Sean, sorry, fucking questions, 40 minutes into this thing. You have an answer.

For you, you've got nothing.

But I like this stuff more interesting because everybody knows who you are, everybody knows your work. so and I want to talk about that. but I want to talk about your tattoos first, because You have a lot of them and I want to know. I did not know the freak on our hands.

I like a lot of

I'm just saying yesterday. I was just saying nothing says don't hire me like a neck tattoo.

Well, it doesn't have them on the neck. I have one on the back of my neck, oh, yeah.

It's the face forward. It's the face tattoos and the neck tattoos. It's like and I'm sure they're people like you're looking like the comments like well, you neck tattoo saved my life, I don't care, but.

On your right forearm, he says I love this. This is Stephen Sondheim. I know that Jason's gonna make fun of this. Okay, but I love it. Does it say I'm just a storyteller.

You're safe.

It's. you want to say what it is you you want to. you want to say it you. I want to say it because I Love it. It's from.

Yeah, see, Jason hates it. I love it. It's now this guy. Can I punch it up a little bit? Is it too late?

I.

Could add to it, but there was actually a line that I took out of it because I thought it was too Pompous, what's that? What was it? Which was give them more to see, as if I could do something like that.

So how would, so, how would the quote have been go?

It would have been anything you do. let it come from you. Then it will be new. give them more to see. this is a musical about George Seurat, the painter Mandy Patinkin played.

And it's nice. if you want to, kind of, if you want to sort of, take it away, take away a little bit, so it doesn't. So it doesn't seem too pompous. You could just put comma JK.

All right, let's get into Sarah Paulson and how you started, and I want to know like.

I'm so sorry about your decision today with us. Yeah.

Florida. right? We're in Florida, Tampa, Florida. You were born. How old were you when you moved to me, born in Tampa, Florida?

There in second grade, but we moved to New York. first It was New York when I was five, and then Maine, and then back to New York and then Maine, and then I went back To Florida, then back to New York, where I'm Lord a lot of places.

My mom was a young, young mom. You're. this is fascinating. Your mom worked at Sardi's on Broadway, which is right next to the First job. when she's crazy, I mean.

Wow, and she was a young mom.

21. she had me at 21 and my sister at 23. so, you know, We can kind of forgive the Trish Hawkins situation because, like she, doesn't know what to do.

Wait, so, sir, so tell me about that story, about your mom.

my mom went to a psychic when she was, when I guess I was, I was young, and She said something like, you know, your daughter's going to live a really Non-traditional life. Yeah, and she's not gonna do things sort of by the book. and did she tell you? that's what the psychic said? She told me that, but after I was older and fell in love with a woman, and then she was like well, I have the psychic tell me that this was gonna happen.

You know the acting part exactly, and so, but you, but you knew at such a young age because you went to the fame school.

Fame wait, didn't, Aniston didn't, and I said went there. Yeah. Yeah. Were you guys in the same class? No?

No, she graduated a little bit before I did. Oh.

It's just. these are just the facts. this is not, you know, it's not a. I mean nobody looks better than Jennifer Aniston. That's a fact.

No, so wait, Sarah, so so, you're so your mom, but your sister's a casting director.

So, and by the way, Sarah, do you play golf? if you play golf? Also, I have my sister send you a shirt. I don't. I don't.

okay, great, and.

Now a word from our sponsor.

So wait, I want to know about About Holland. you're the love of your life. Well, it's.

Belgium, just south of Denmark, are considered part of the Benelux countries.

Want to know the fun story, because I know a little bit of it, But you were at a dinner party and you hope she wouldn't be sat next to you or something.

And then, yeah, you know she, I went to this dinner party that a friend of mine Hosted, where it was really kind of for Buck Henry who was there, and it was a well, Yeah, it's a wild night and I was at this dinner's long, long table. There was one empty seat and Holland Taylor comes, sort of, you know, Bustling in and her hair, just like throwing her hair back and just, oh god, sorry, I'm late, which you know. late people, when they're really that late, It does end up making it sort of all about them when they arrive, you know. So she was really doing a like kind of grand.

By the way, by the way, I know this is the story about how you and Holland got together. Yeah, for me, It's the details of it, or the fucking me, they're really the meat of it And the Martha Plimpton.

She has an organization called a is for which is an abortion reproductive rights organization, and she asked us to do this PSA. so we, Holland and I happened to arrive on the same day. Holland was getting ready to come to New York to do her production of Anne, Which she wrote that was gonna be done at Lincoln Center about governor and Richards.

There's a one of the prequel to Annie. Is it not? Yeah?

probably Annie like when. Annie like finally.

She grows up.

Yeah, there's a really hard-knock life before. Yeah, exactly hard-knock life.

Yeah, and and and we saw each other there and then we followed each other on Twitter and I literally DM ter when I was shooting In New Orleans. Yeah, I slid into Holland Taylor's DMS Wow, Look at that. and then I sent a picture of her to a friend of mine and I was like, can I date a 70 year old woman, right? Mm-hmm. And my friend was like Absolutely, not, and I'm just kidding.

Why not? and so you guys have now been together for almost 10 years, not over, so awesome. That's amazing.

That's so cool. 19 years. No, nine years. I'm 66.

Okay,

She's a hundred and ten. She's a hundred and ten. I.

Love being around you guys, too. You can just tell how like comfy you guys are. Yeah, each other there is one plus one, making three. Yeah, just, you're both individuals, but you got the overlap.

I mean, yeah, we don't live together. That's the sort of secret, you know.

Sean's married to a man. I do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

They don't sleep together either.

You, the Holland and I. we spend plenty of time together, but we don't live in the same house.

No, talk to me a little bit about that. I'm not. tell me about that. a little bit and again, okay, This is, I'm divulging too much, but I said to Alessandra recently who also you'd like her touch. She has a lot of great tattoos.

I, I mean we've even together for a long time now, and I think part of it has to do with we're together when we.

Want to be, and we're not when we don't. and yeah, but couldn't you? but instead of just challenging it, I'm ready. instead of living in separate Dwellings, what about just living together?

But then sleeping in separate rooms or no? because my favorite thing to do, we fall asleep holding hands, Holland and I. we sleep. I'm holding hands like we're. we're very, I don't?

But if you live separate days, you've got something to talk about, right Canada. Are you from if you live separate days?

Honestly, it's my. one of my favorite things is to come home after a long time and fill my partner in.

Cuz, I was gonna make the same joke and I just want you to know that that was the joke I was gonna make, and I appreciate you will, and I appreciate that. I'm not the only one with the mind the size of a tiny pea. know what I.

Know, Sean, I will recommend to you something that Amanda and I do is that we do share the same.

But, but my, but Jay, my thing is snoring because do you start? or, Scotty? He could bring down a building right and and I you know.

Do what Amanda does. you just slide your hand underneath the shoulder just a little bit, create a little bit of a wedge and they Roll over. you get that guy on his stomach and he's not gonna snore. What about earplugs?

Nobody gets a guy on his stomach like JB.

CPAP machine. does he know he's gonna get it like the newest, the greatest ladies, He's gonna try it, but he also has what I what we call the pot of life on his arm because of diabetes. Yeah, so what that means? he can't roll over. Well, then he's like light.

Hey, do they not have lemon laws in California?

You still got the receipt on that guy, right.

Well,

You've got. you've got a minute 20 seconds left to ask a fucking question. I got wait.

No, we're just getting started. Sarah. This is. I'm here all day, right? Like I, I've got a ration of food here.

We've got a double book. if you're not, if we're, if this interview is over, I'm facetiming you, because this is good.

Wait, I want to know. like you, I was gonna go through all your stage stuff. What, like you, did the glass menagerie opposite Jessica Lange? you were honest in a show with Jessica Lange That's so amazing and didn't write. Ryan Murphy see that, and that's how he cast you in American Horror Story.

What kind of, what kind of stuff do you have on him? And will we ever see I got, I got, I got nothing on Ryan.

Ryan's an open book man. you everything I got on Ryan, you know about Ryan, you know, you know, I've never met him.

I'd like to. you've never met him. No, I don't think I have either. I met him.

Maybe you're keeping them all to yourself. Why don't you share him with us for Christ?

I share him, but I love him. He's, you know, it's been very, very good to me. Oh, like the first person in my working life. I felt who really Saw me, you know, like he continued to say I'm not. I don't know why I always use sports analogies, analogies, when I don't watch any sports, but he Continually threw me the ball, just always, and thought I could do things I didn't even know I could do.

But then, like Nicole Wallace, and game change.

I played Nicole Wallace before. Nicole Wallace, like, was the MSNBC. Yeah, she's my hero. Yeah, I got a.

player she's.

Unbelievable performance, incredible. What is it more played? It was when Julianne Moore played. played Sarah Palin. This was that HBO thing where Ed Harris played McCain and Julianne Moore played.

You literally played Nicole Wallace. I did. no way. Did you ever meet her? Oh, yeah.

It was a very, very traumatic thing that happened. I mean you should watch them. You should watch Sean's right. You should watch. it's amazing.

Okay,

She was really traumatized by the whole thing, the Sarah Palin thing. It was really yeah, But yeah, yeah. so much so that she didn't vote for her own candidate. She didn't vote for John, She couldn't vote because of it, Wow.

It was really wild. and then, when you played, when you played Marcia Clark phenomenal and the OJ Simpsons thing, you know.

Actually, I've got a couple of notes on that one. You got a couple notes. Yeah, are you guys locked on that? because if so, I won't. I won't give you the notes.

Yeah, never been bad. Yeah, I got a couple of things in my closet that I think you'd be like.

Three-quarter inch tape, right? Not even in the day.

Yeah, fucking guys. I just kind of just get a little bit of credit. You got to go. No, I didn't jump in when I was teed up with, sucked in in the closet and I.

I'm sorry. I said I read that after the OJ thing, Marsh Clark, you couldn't watch yourself anymore. Is that true? And why yeah, what? Yeah, I can't watch myself.

No, I well, I actually decided to. I Think. for me, the Marsha Clark thing was the first time I had done anything where I felt.

Like. I understand. you know what I mean?

Like. I just thought I'm gonna go in there with my hypercritical way and tear this apart, and that would be a shame, because this is the first time I I Feel like anyone's giving a shit about my work or what I'm doing, And so I thought I should try to enjoy it, and then I just kept it. Yeah, you should check it out.

It's pretty fantastic, all of it.

But and you should also remember that nobody's gonna be more critical about your work than Trisha.

Trish Hawkins, I'm surprised I haven't gotten an email from her, like already everything that's ever come out.

So is that still your policy is to not not watch your work?

Yes, except for when I have been EPing things, I do watch it, but I try to watch it in a kind of right away, where you know, cuz I'm giving no.

Well, you're depriving yourself of incredible performances, but that's just me.

But but, and this, I have one last thing. and then I'm gonna like we're all gonna let you go. So Nicole Wallace, Marcia Clark and then Linda Tripp. crazy transformation, incredible, didn't look. you completely disappeared as Linda Tripp.

Industries, particularly for women, but for men, for all of us like. I feel so hyper focused on this shit the face and the body in the hair and the weight, and the thing in the wrinkles, and all this shit that Definitely feel a kind of freedom. when I can hide behind These other things, whether it's Marcia's wig or Linda's, the prosthetics to play Linda and I can, I can hide. It's a, it's a way of hiding that I that I think ultimately died. She did die.

Wait, sir, before we go. before we go, I just want to know, because you're a creature of the theater like I am super fast, funny, Tragic theater story. anything happened either in this play.

Theater story. I mean, I don't know if there's a more tragic story than getting notes from an actress who played a play 30 years ago, but Funny that like something going on there. Well, two things happened recently, which is, you know, in the play which you guys saw. will you? we can discuss this later At the be.

I've. that's never happened, but I've never happened.
