Press Junket

Transcript

00:00Differently honestly because I I which is so funny because I am so self-critical and so intensely

00:09It's the it's probably one of the the top things I think I don't know if it's because I'm a Virgo or because we have

00:15Raised or being in the public eye for a long time. Whatever it is

00:18It's in it's innate to be my own worst critic

00:21But for some reason I enjoy watching the work back. I don't know why I think it's just because I I lose myself in the character

00:30I don't feel like it's I I divorce myself from whatever's on the screen. I've already given over the fact that like it's

00:36Lucas I have given up, you know, it's Denise

00:38it's whoever's and and that like like you're saying that I am in service to this other thing and now I just get to be a

00:46spectator now I just get to watch and

00:48And because also because I enjoy the work so like I enjoy being on set

00:53I enjoy being around like I enjoy watching them work like so I just love watching them

00:58You know, like I love watching them do their thing on set and so I get to watch it over and over and over again

01:04you know and I learn new things and I

01:06Captured like I was saying that like I want to do a pass now and ask them about all the choices that they made

01:13Because there's different things that I picked up that are that I didn't pick up maybe on the day or I didn't understand why the motivation

01:19Behind it now. I want to ask them but I guess maybe it's just out of curiosity or wanting to like

01:24Figure it out or learn more

01:27That I'm able to like it's one of the few things that I'm able to like watch back and like

01:32Like I don't like watching back like a an interview or a talk show, you know what I mean?

01:37But like when it's a character, that's not me. I'm like, oh, this is fun. I can enjoy this other person

01:42Do you know what I mean?

01:43and also it reminds me of the process of making it and typically I've been very lucky to have a

01:49Great time doing what I do

01:51So it reminds me of being on a set or being in that space and I'm thinking about remember that day when you did

01:58This and remember that day when so I don't know

02:00It's the one thing that I I don't feel that way which typically I do feel that way
