0:02 I like it's just you know bake me
0:04 delicious gluten-free brownies let me
0:07 tell you yes the kid can
0:11 bake so the process when it works is of
0:14 course to not be panicked I I found a
0:18 lot of um support in having community of
0:20 any kind like I uh have a couple of
0:24 different writers groups um one is a
0:26 Wednesday night at Wednesday day at a
0:27 friend's house which ends up being like
0:31 89% gossip and like 11% working but that
0:33 11% is actually something to hang your
0:35 hat on and I
0:38 find the way my mind works as a writer
0:42 is similar to the way it is uh when I'm
0:45 preparing a role and it's just to check
0:48 in like if you speak to your characters
0:50 they will speak back to you if you leave
0:52 them alone for days at a time it's like
0:55 picking up a conversation an old thread
0:57 that that you sort of forget where you
1:01 are so any anything to get yourself in
1:03 the habit of working a little bit every
1:09 day on a timer um just one page you know
1:11 it's it all kind of helps keep the
1:14 momentum so would you say that your your
1:15 work is an actor and your life is an
1:18 actor that same creative impulse is it
1:20 similar to the one when you're telling
1:22 stories and writing essays and novels I
1:26 think so and it all came um as a kid I
1:30 was a big reader and just the way I
1:33 experienced what I read
1:36 imaginatively felt similar to when I
1:39 first um started as an actor and I think
1:42 it is all for me just it's
1:45 storytelling um I remember there there
1:49 was a commercial at the time for fake
1:54 butter that um was there was like a a a
1:58 Greek goddess in it or mother nature and
2:00 when she finds out that the big butter
2:02 is not real butter she says it's not
2:05 nice to fool mother nature and I was
2:06 given that line in a school play when I
2:08 was like in second grade and I got a
2:11 laugh a better laugh than here
2:13 here
2:15 and pretending that don't remember that
2:18 commercial and I know a lot of you
2:22 do and um and I just remember thinking
2:25 that was such a powerful not even a
2:27 powerful feeling it was just such a
2:30 connection with a story and a character
2:32 I was playing and um so yeah it is
2:37 connected to me um I uh I didn't realize
2:38 until we were on the road with this I
2:40 learned about your first commercial yes
2:42 I'm going there could you could you tell
2:44 us about that experience cuz I want to
2:47 hear those lines again out of your mouth
2:53 uh I was first cast in a commercial for
2:55 um Walmart
2:57 sweaters where thank you
3:08 nights so someone needs to find that on
3:11 the internet I want to see it I always
3:13 say you know there were a lot of people
3:16 I went to theater school and um some of
3:18 the actors I came up with didn't feel
3:20 like commercials were a good use of
3:23 their time and talent and I think it was
3:27 such good practice like I used to teach
3:29 a little acting class back to my grad
3:31 school where I would say one of the
3:33 hardest lines to say in the English
3:35 language is not from Shakespeare it's
3:39 welcome to Chili's because it's so hard
3:40 to strike the balance of like friendly
3:43 but not making fun of it but not insane
3:45 but not hating the job but not like it's
3:48 so many things you know well I had was
3:51 in a Chi-Chi's commercial and I had to
3:54 say welcome to the fiesta and after a
3:55 while you just don't know what you're
3:56 saying anymore and then they cut me out
3:58 of it because the director said I didn't
4:01 have enough boyish enthusiasm
4:03 I don't mean to make this about me but I
4:05 have I have issues I need to discuss
4:06 with the
4:09 public well speaking of the book um
4:11 there is a let's call it a character in
4:14 here named old lady Jackson who is a
4:16 friend of mine if when or if you've read
4:18 the book or when you do you'll know
4:20 about her um she has a good friend we
4:23 call Uncle pea pancake and they very
4:26 much enjoy a 400 p.m. dinner time uh can
4:27 you tell us about how that character
4:29 started in your life Lady it's so
4:32 embarrassing um but so when I started on
4:34 Parenthood it was the first time I was
4:37 playing a mom who would not have had the
4:40 child as a teenager and I very much
4:43 wanted my TV kids who are still two of
4:44 my dearest friends May Whitman and Miles
4:48 Heiser I really wanted them to um think
4:50 I was really hip and cool which is
4:52 something that hip and cool people don't
4:56 need and I so and I found myself kind of
4:59 being mommyish to them and they were so
5:01 young and we started and but I didn't
5:04 want to play like I wanted to be like
5:07 one of their peers kind of so I was like
5:10 started I created a character that I'd
5:13 be like hey I mean I don't care if you
5:16 get a another tattoo but old lady
5:20 Jackson might think a 12 is too many and
5:22 so I and of course they saw through it
5:23 immediately because they're genuinely hi
5:26 and cool and they were like oh old lady
5:29 Jackson thinks so and so it became kind
5:32 of a in in our lives and then may always
5:35 says that she's old lady Jackson because
5:37 we've both been in Show Business the
5:40 same amount of time she started at age
5:41 five with like a chicken nugget
5:45 commercial and um so yeah so now I don't
5:48 know old lady Jackson is like and we do
5:52 genuinely go to dinner at 4 I Blame You
5:56 well as we get older uh this passage I'm
5:57 about to read from your book which I
6:00 think is really beautiful um as soon as
6:03 I find it please talk among
6:07 yourselves but silently no um this I
6:09 just wanted to read this because I it
6:10 really this is crazy why is this
6:12 happening you know why this is happening
6:19 here and I'll have to hear about it
6:22 later so this is from the essay of Lady
6:26 Jackson um and it's I think it's lovely
6:27 it's very useful to always have a friend
6:29 who is much older and one who much
6:32 younger the older friend will remind you
6:34 what there is to look forward to and the
6:35 younger friend will keep you telling
6:37 your stories over again so you'll
6:39 remember not to forget them an older
6:41 friend will tell you you have plenty of
6:43 time yet and a younger friend will make
6:46 you forget time altogether because when
6:47 you're with them you'll feel even for a
6:50 moment that you're the exact same
7:00 honey something I did not imagine or
7:03 plan for but that is an incredible
7:07 benefit of the work I've gotten to do is
7:10 is kind of the families you make along
7:14 the way and I have so many friends who
7:17 are not my age who are much younger who
7:19 much older and I have such appreciation
7:21 for that um I don't know it does it just
7:23 keeps me connected to all those ages
7:25 well speaking of that I think the
7:28 Gilmore Girls fans here will be happy to
7:29 hear me say these two words and I want
7:39 Bishop well that's Kelly is a great
7:41 example of someone who I don't know how
7:43 many of you have just like a friend
7:47 who's 80 but I just was at Kelly's 80th
7:50 birthday and she's I know and she's um
7:53 there were all these pictures of her um
7:55 you know she was Sheila in the chorus
7:57 line on Broadway she won the attorney
7:59 and just pictures of her with like her
8:02 leg up in the air and you know just um
8:05 she's just an incredible person and she
8:09 her training was as a dancer um
8:12 and this is true for most of the dancers
8:15 I've known just incredible discipline
8:18 always prepared never complains and was
8:21 always such a big supporter of mine and
8:23 and always kind of bossy with me which I
8:25 I don't have a lot of bossy friends and
8:27 you know I tell her about some date I
8:29 went on she'd be like well he sounds
8:33 terrible lose his number like oh oh I
8:36 you're probably right but then but then
8:38 but then like at 2 in the morning
8:40 sometimes if we'd be at work late she'd
8:43 just come over to me her perfect posture
8:45 and she'd be like do you want to split a
8:47 bag of
8:51 Cheetos I was like Kelly you're bad she'
8:54 like split a little like mini bag of
8:57 Cheetos um so she's just been such a
8:59 special great friend and she has a book
9:03 coming out called the third Gilmore
9:10 scared because she does not give a
9:13 and I'm like I don't know what I
9:16 mean not I I feel safe but also scared
9:25 wait well speaking of people that we
9:27 idolize and look up to uh one of the
9:29 first movies I think I saw you in
9:32 and it was your second film and you
9:34 worked with Merill stre I mean that's
9:37 crazy yeah I was thank you Merl thank
9:40 you she coms to all our show she's kind
9:41 of a stalker
9:44 whatever what was that experience like
9:46 I've had several experiences where I met
9:50 a hero where I just was unprepared and
9:55 and I I was like the I was just out of
9:57 my mind the entire time like I don't
9:59 think there was ever a time when wasn't
10:01 like that's Merl street right there Merl
10:03 Street she's in a scene with me I'm in a
10:04 scene with Merl Street which is like so
10:07 bad as an actor because of course that's
10:09 you shouldn't have that through line um
10:12 but it was also Renee zigger's uh first
10:14 movie after Jerry McGuire it was just it
10:16 was My One True Thing One True Thing
10:18 yeah based on an Anna quinland book um
10:22 but it was very uh in the movie it's
10:23 about this mother daughter relationship
10:26 and Merl's character against cancer and
10:29 it's a very dark kind of um story and we
10:32 were shooting in New Jersey winter time
10:36 at a big house drafty older house and it
10:40 was um you know sometimes the tone of
10:42 the story like
10:47 takes takes uh it colors the the set and
10:50 so it was kind of a subdued set anyway
10:53 and usually the way you start your day
10:55 is um you just do kind of a read through
10:56 of the scene so that the crew knows
10:59 what's happening and so for lighting and
11:02 and so we're just casual um doing a
11:03 readr and there had been this terrible
11:07 flu going around and Merl starts and she
11:09 is can barely speak and I was like oh
11:11 gosh it's these days are so long and
11:14 it's going to be such a hard day and
11:16 poor thing of course she's coming to
11:19 work anyway cuz she's Bar Street and um
11:22 she's like choking through her scene and
11:25 then at the end um she was like hey does
11:27 anybody see my crossw word puzzle and I
11:34 acting I I was sitting this far away
11:37 from her and I completely believed she
11:40 was Ill because she's playing someone who's
11:41 who's
11:44 ill and then even her like morning readr
11:46 was like
11:49 A++ um and then I remember we were at
11:52 the premiere after the movie had
11:54 finished and um I hadn't seen her for a
11:58 while and um she kind of pulled me aside
12:00 in the crowd and she was like you know I
12:01 just saw the movie and I want you to
12:05 know um that as an actor she said to me
12:16 what because still I was so freaked out
12:18 to be getting a compliment from Merl
12:20 Street like the blood was pounding in my
12:22 ears and I she's just telling me I'm a
12:25 good listener and I can't understand her
12:29 eyes she was just as lovely as you would
12:33 heard me oh one day one day um I for one
12:34 and I'm sure there's a lot of people
12:36 here that feel the same way I wish you
12:38 would sing
12:42 more so you got a lovely voice I sound
12:43 like you're surely to playing in
12:44 Postcards From The Edge you have a
12:48 lovely voice just use it more um but
12:50 that brings me to Zoe's extraordinary
12:53 playlist which I led I did too what was
12:55 that experience like it was insane this
12:58 is why Musical TV shows don't last is
13:01 they're so they're so expensive they're
13:03 impossible and that I was so glad Jane
13:05 L's a very dear friend of mine and she
13:08 asked me to be on it and I was so glad
13:11 to be there um but you're singing
13:14 dancing plus working 14 hour regular TV
13:17 show day and she Jane is like Jane
13:19 played soccer in college she's like an
13:21 incredible athlete and she could learn a
13:25 dance in four seconds but it's just um
13:29 it's just difficult and plus I had been
13:32 on Broadway but I I have a very I can't
13:34 sing Everything pop music is really hard
13:37 it's deceptively hard um but it was a
13:40 cool thing to be able to do and um just
13:42 things like you'd record the song and
13:43 then you had to lips sync to yourself
13:46 like I had never done that before yes I
13:49 know um except for bernardette Peters
13:54 was a guest star and she sang Live which
13:55 you can't always do for the sound mix
13:58 and everything else but um they had her
14:01 sing um um live because she's for at
14:03 Peters exactly so also all the
14:05 choreography and you have to learn that
14:08 so quickly that just it's blows me away
14:10 yeah so how soon before those dance
14:11 numbers did you have to learn those
14:13 dances I mean sometimes on the day
14:15 because you you'd mark it in like a
14:17 stage or something but frequently we
14:20 were on location and so in Canada in
14:22 Canada in Canada my
14:25 love and um so it would be like tape on
14:28 the floor to say okay here's where the
14:30 stairs are going to be or here's where
14:31 the wall is and then you get to the
14:33 location you'd be like wait the stairs
14:35 in the wall or where like so you were
14:38 kind of relearning the routine every
14:42 time you did it it was a lot wow um so
14:44 thank you for that um what you're on
14:47 Instagram now what happens what's going
14:50 on listen guys I like to really make
14:52 sure something's going to catch on
15:00 before I join 20 years later um I yes I
15:02 I don't know just Twitter became
15:06 silliness and um I do like having a way
15:07 to speak to people and tell them what
15:10 we're doing and um but I still it takes
15:12 me like an hour and a half to do every
15:14 post and I'm like terribly I'm afraid
15:17 like I'm going to send out like my
15:19 contact list or something like I don't I
15:22 like don't understand what is happening
15:24 so we had a few tutorials on the road in
15:26 between things and it's for once in my
15:29 life I'm like I know kid right once my
15:31 life I'm like I got it I'll show you
15:33 I'll show you you're good at it well
15:34 well it's the only thing I'm good at I
15:36 mean speaking of old lady Jackson it's
15:39 like it's a real old lady Jackson moment
15:41 when you're like I don't understand
15:44 these filters but I'll get it I always
15:45 say like the biggest difference between
15:48 us is you are not a showof and I am a
15:50 showof so I'm happy to show you how to
15:53 show off more um do you get recognized a
15:59 lot when you're out out um yes but I

18:42 right now what are you reading right now
18:44 I um just finished this book The
18:46 beasting which is
18:50 unbelievable um got a clap got one clap
18:52 it's long it's Irish it's a
18:54 dysfunctional Irish family in early 2000
18:58 I'm reading uh lady tan circle of women
18:59 right now
19:03 so good um and what's the Vietnam one
19:05 you were reading on the road the women
19:08 okay yeah the women is wonderful you
19:10 know she doesn't need my help it's like
19:12 number one everywhere but it's so
19:14 harrowing it was like I I kept saying I
19:16 was going to put it down because it's
19:19 war and we have enough of that but it's
19:21 it was beautifully written now if you
19:23 couldn't be an actor anymore be an
19:24 entertainment business what do you think
19:26 you would like to
19:30 do um I I'm very Housey I like
19:31 decorating things I don't have anything
19:33 to decorate right now and I feel lost
19:35 I'm just like going to other people's
19:36 houses and like let me rearrange this
19:39 for you I I would flip houses or do
19:42 something in that space I guess okay all
19:44 right I'll accept that ma'am thank you
19:45 um we're going to go to some of these
19:48 questions from you guys uh that we had
19:50 to rewrite from the computer oh okay did
19:53 your editor on this book want you to cut
19:54 something that you really wanted to
20:00 leave in if so who won the battle oh I
20:03 um uh I think a good editor kind of
20:07 takes what you have given them and
20:11 invites more actually um especially when
20:14 I worked with Jen and Smith on um
20:16 talking to St I can and the novel you
20:18 just get kind of a secondhand and she
20:23 would just say like more here or there
20:25 are all these sort of phrases of like
20:26 she's like I really feel like you could
20:28 stick The Landing a little better you
20:30 know sort of metaphors for like meaning
20:34 it needs like a cleaner ending or one
20:38 more sentence and um so no there wasn't
20:41 anything to cut I don't think I was
20:43 encouraged on this book
20:47 to go a little deeper I try in my essays
20:50 to mainly be entertaining but I did um
20:52 write about my mom a little bit for the
20:55 first time partially because my mom
20:58 passed at 61 but her mom my grandmother
21:02 Liv Liv to 101 and I know and she just
21:03 passed like a year ago and I while she
21:06 was alive I didn't want to write about
21:08 my mom was too painful for her so I
21:09 wrote about it a little bit in the Mochi
21:14 chapter the Mochi yes um uh this is
21:16 reminds me that you're also moving into
21:17 screenwriting now want talk about that a
21:22 little bit I well so Jen Smith editor of
21:24 many of my books and I um have now
21:27 adapted several of her books um they
21:31 haven't been made yet but we have one we
21:33 we have we've gotten pretty far I'm
21:35 excited I'm excited we kind of covered
21:36 this already but have you gotten a sneak
21:39 peak at Kelly Bishop book no but she
21:42 just asked me to blurb it which I will
21:45 happily do and I said send please send
21:46 me the manuscript and she's like oh
21:48 you're going to do it like a real
21:51 professional and I like
21:54 yes cuz spoiler alert sometimes people
21:55 just write a couple sentences and they
21:57 haven't really read it but I I I want to
21:59 read it um now we're getting into the
22:02 Gilmore Girls area um we we love to
22:04 watch Gilmore Girls and it is our
22:06 comfort show do you have your own
22:09 Comfort show that you go back to I think
22:12 of comfort show as something you can
22:14 have on in the background because you
22:16 already know what happens and it's just
22:19 like the sound of it is comforting um
22:21 and for me I guess to some degree that's
22:23 Sex in the City it's also there's so
22:25 many episodes and it just came out on
22:27 Netflix which I'm sure will revive it
22:30 for a whole new new um generation who
22:32 will probably find some of it troubling
22:34 but um
22:37 yes but um I also I just like anything
22:39 that's New York of another time and miss
22:41 the New York of more yellow taxis than
22:44 Ubers and just people you know Tootsie
22:48 and uh you know When Harry Met Sally and
22:51 um kind of Splash just like all those
22:54 kind of 80s movies and then weirdly and
22:56 I know this is a problem but I love
23:00 watching The Godfather over over I love
23:02 Godfather one and two and like if it's
23:05 on I just can't look away is that
23:06 comforting I don't
23:09 know when we were in Salt Lake City we
23:10 did the show we went back to the hotel
23:12 room and literally The Godfather was on
23:13 I was like guess what's
23:18 on nice and bloody lots of death okay um
23:20 once you get the idea for a book How
23:22 long does it take you to actually start
23:25 writing it it depends I think the essay
23:29 form speaks well to the way my mind
23:34 works which is kind of having an idea
23:36 that is a little more bite-sized rather
23:39 than Fiction just requires so much
23:42 structure and plot and
23:46 forethought and um like you know in this
23:48 book I was sitting with May Whitman one
23:52 day and she was saying um she was like I
23:55 need a better bra for work and I was
23:58 like well yeah you should just get a bra
23:59 you're not wearing one she's like no I
24:01 am wearing one and I was like you that's
24:03 not a bra that's like a a handkerchief
24:05 with like a fishing wire like what are
24:07 you talking about and I realized that
24:10 what I was used to just from coming to
24:13 LA in the '90s was like a Wonder Bra
24:15 that's like it's like like a you know it
24:16 has like a water bed in it but it's a
24:19 bra and like like the whole kind of
24:21 silhouette was this very like pumped up
24:25 kind of Pam Anderson Vibe and and that I
24:28 hadn't changed my thought of what a bra
24:31 was in a long time and so that led me to
24:33 this and it made me think what else
24:36 haven't I readjusted like um over time
24:38 and that led me to this essay boobs of
24:42 the90s which um which is kind of about
24:44 like just how values have changed and
24:47 also being asked to do um a topless
24:50 scene and saying no um oh right you talk
24:52 about that no
24:55 no you can read it oh that's right it's
24:59 in the book it's in the book um if I
25:01 this is from them not me if I wanted to
25:03 start a book club this week or maybe I
25:05 will too if I wanted to start a book
25:06 club this week what book should I
25:08 suggest in my
25:12 group uh I mean I don't know but I think
25:16 a book club to me says like 50% wine 50%
25:20 chitchat and um I think I really enjoyed
25:23 Tom Lake the latest an patchet book is
25:26 just I think very crowd-pleasing but
25:28 also there's a lot to talk about and her
25:30 writing is just really beautiful and um
25:32 what's the English Murders At a
25:35 retirement home oh um Thursday Murder
25:37 Club I love Thursday Murder Club so much
25:38 do you guys know
25:41 it there's a whole series right there's
25:43 a whole series which is really fun when
25:44 you fall in love with characters and
25:46 then you can kind of keep reading about
25:47 them and I've read it and now I'm
25:48 realizing it's gentle and soothing and
25:50 British but then there's like Mob
25:52 characters too yeah like the god father
25:54 exactly oh my
25:58 god wow you're complex lady um what
26:00 advice would you give to someone who
26:02 wants to be a writer but can't find the
26:05 motivation to put pen to
26:07 paper then do you really want to be a
26:11 writer um it's hard I don't know one
26:13 thing about having a community of
26:17 writers is taking solace in the fact
26:20 that very few people find it easy I have
26:23 a couple of friends who just churn Pages
26:28 out most of us sit and feel like why me
26:31 how I how dare I will anyone find this
26:35 interesting uh you know what will will
26:37 my family recognize themselves in these
26:40 Pages or there's so many ways to stop
26:43 yourself it's just as Jen always says
26:45 you know just get something down she
26:47 would always say I can't edit a blank
26:50 page even if something's terrible like
26:52 you can always revise it as long as you
26:54 fill up some pages right but you keep
26:58 telling me and I'm always like Okay um
27:00 oh this is interesting and because I
27:02 think a lot of people understand how
27:03 long things take when you're filming
27:05 them and this is how long did it take to
27:07 film an episode of Gil more girls uh
27:12 eight days but like 21 hours a day um
27:14 our hours were very long when we started
27:16 we actually shot on film and film takes
27:19 a it looks much better but it takes a
27:22 lot longer to light and um setups are
27:24 longer and you know some of that kind of
27:27 athletic we're talking quickly for 10
27:30 pag and it's one shot like my cousin
27:32 used to call me and be like why are you
27:34 circling the Gazebo again and it was
27:35 like we're running out of space like
27:37 we're just you know and and those that's
27:40 usually like a steady cam operator
27:42 walking backwards and so that person has
27:44 to not trip and we have to not drop a
27:47 line and somebody you know a plane goes
27:49 overhead it just would take many many
27:51 takes did you have one when everyone got
27:52 everything right and then the very last
27:55 second suck yes always always you like
27:56 it's almost the feeling of like holding

28:04 wardrobe in Gilmore Girls did you have
