00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440
I read something crazy that you have occasionally intense bouts of stage fright.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,539
Oh, not occasionally. I'm going to tell you a little secret. Not only stage fright,

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,740
whenever you see me on a carpet, I'm always dripping with sweats.

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,859
Like any award show type thing or premiere?

5
00:00:18,859 --> 00:00:27,039
It's just anxiety. I am a person, I mean, I'm not shy in the sense of I have a hard time talking

6
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:35,060
to people. I have a hard time walking into a very crowded, frenzied situation. So whenever I step

7
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:40,719
out of a car and there's lights flashing and cameras and people screaming, look over here,

8
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:47,899
look over here, my heart just literally starts like, I want to get off that carpet as soon as

9
00:00:47,899 --> 00:00:51,880
possible. And does that also happen in front of a live audience, like say on a stage play?

10
00:00:51,880 --> 00:01:00,039
which is why we don't do you know the best money is half-hour television and I

11
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:06,879
love comedy but I do not love audiences so mama has chosen not to do so not even

12
00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:11,260
not even a live audience on a on a sitcom mm-hmm forget a theater because

13
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:16,180
didn't you do a Del Shores play once I did a Del Shores play once and then what

14
00:01:16,180 --> 00:01:20,019
was that feeling like like is that when you really discover like this isn't

15
00:01:20,019 --> 00:01:28,000
working for me? No, no, I've always known. I, to get scholarship money, I used to do speeches.

16
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:34,739
Yeah. And I was always terrified when it was my turn to go up. So that, and that never goes away.

17
00:01:34,739 --> 00:01:45,079
I mean, it, you control it because, you know, you have to do your job, but, you know, it never goes

18
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:49,219
away. God, it's so funny. It's like, it's like hearing from a pilot that they have a fear of

19
00:01:49,219 --> 00:01:54,359
flying or something i don't ever want to know that no but you know what i mean i don't ever

20
00:01:54,359 --> 00:02:00,620
want to know that like you've clearly chosen a path for yourself that that is riddled with

21
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:07,359
anxiety that's so true i never thought about a pilot being scared to fly oh god but you know

22
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:14,240
like there is to be an actor to go up to receive an award to speak at a college to

23
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,639
You go on stage to play.

24
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,139
I mean, those are things that actors do, you know?

25
00:02:20,139 --> 00:02:23,280
And you've chosen, like, even though it's that hard for you.

26
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,539
Did you get scared even in school

27
00:02:24,539 --> 00:02:25,979
when you were in drama club and stuff?

28
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:26,860
Absolutely.

29
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:28,639
So why do you think you kept at it?

30
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,680
Because if you're terrified of everything

31
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,699
and you don't venture out and try to get past that fear,

32
00:02:34,699 --> 00:02:37,780
you will never accomplish anything, not anything.
