  Speaker 1: not no not Reshaw. But you know what, I never
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I never forgot it, you know, because it's been years
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: since I've known you, and that is one thing that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I just remember. You know, you always came just willing
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and villing, man and correct, so well, you know, I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I thank you for that, and because you know, you
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: guys played an important role in my life and also
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: playing an important role and uh and teams, especially black
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: teams as young teams who basically a comming of age
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: story because we watch you grow Up on TV. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I cared you guys from high school to your college
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: years when I was you know, which was funny, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: trying to look at get some riture stories here, and uh,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: y'all wanted y'all realized y'all your role in life and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: things like that, and and and but it was really
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: growing up in that bottle. It's a bottle, because a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: fish bowl is some people saying and being able to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: step out there and grow um as a as a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: child star and then becoming an adult star. Talk about
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that during a little bit before we get into the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: actual a lot of different story points. I want to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: talk about you all the successes to have right now.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You know, I really feel grateful and the less to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: have had the parents that will have, the parents that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I have, UM during that time because as we all know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: when you're a child in this industry, it could be really,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: really harsh. And the reason why I say that is
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: because a lot of the time you don't see these
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you know, young child actors make that transition. UM. You know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: some of them end up, I mean a lot of
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: them ended up, you know, they were suicide, um, drug addiction.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But my mom and my dad, they really really protected
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: from that. And I think, if I can make this
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: long story, sure, what really helped was my mom used
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to always tell us, do not let this business to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: find who you are as a person. And it was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: so beneficial to me because she made me realize that,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you know, Hollywood is very sickle, meaning one minute you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: could be hot and then the next minute you could
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: be not hot. So if you really hold on to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: defining yourself, Um, you know, with you know, having this
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know, success story at such a young age, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: then when it falls for a minute, you know, you
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: could find yourself into deep depression. You can find stuff
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: going to substance abuse and you know, suicidal thoughts. Um.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it was easy. It was very
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: hard because, like I said, it happens to almost every
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: child actor. One minute you're on a show and making
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: lots of money, and then the next minute you're not
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and nobody cares about you. So my mom she really
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: prepared us mentally to allow us to see that, you know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you know, need to define yourself and that you know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: define yourself in your character, to find yourself in your integrity,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to find yourself in being a good, kind hearted person
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and continue to work hard and go after your dreams
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and never give up. And that's what really, you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that's what really helped me or guided me, you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: into being you know, an older you know actor. Absolutely,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and I agree because you know, I know her mom.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: She was on the set all the time. I've been
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: on sets with other children child child stars, and sometimes
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the parents will show up. Sometimes they wouldn't show up,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and that affected these kids that I see because I've
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: been I've been fortunate to watch a lot of I've
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: been on a lot of family shows, so I've watched
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: children grow up into adults and disappear, or we have
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: very angry lives or what happened to my life get pigeoned,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and she was always there. We always had great conversations
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and mean while I was wearing my stylish suits, you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I had my suits to mama. So this was I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: really led about about what I'm seeing about your career.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: You know, is that the YouTube channel? You know you
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: got the you know you got everybody got social media,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: every media Okay, you know you're popping these supposed to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: have social media. Okay, you know you got following us
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. But the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the YouTube channel is where you can really when people
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: start following you and subscribing to your YouTube channel seven
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: six thousand. Yeah, it's crazy, it's crazy, you know. Like
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you said, a lot of people have YouTube channels. But
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: for me, where I always find success is when I
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: am just true to who I am. I never let
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: anyone tell me what you know, hot, what's not right.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I always go with my gut, meaning whatever I'm going
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: through personally in my life, that is what I want
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to portray because with that comes authenticity. So behind the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: inspiration with my YouTube channel came me just wanting to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: create a community where moms and just women or just
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: anybody in general could come together and learn, you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: these life hacks that could get them through life. Because
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: especially when you're a mom, a working mom, or just
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: when you're juggling so many things, and you know, family
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: is very important to me and I don't I don't
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: ever want um. I don't ever want to lose that.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And so I know that when you have a busy lifestyle,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: sometimes that's sacrificed, meaning spending quality time with your family.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So I just wanted to build a community where you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: people can go to my channel to be inspired and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: uplifted because I have inspirational talks on there. Um, I
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you know, show my personal life meaning my my daughter's birthday. Um,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you know, just to give them joy in their lives.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And men also cooking. You know, I love, I love,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: love love to cook, and for me, cooking is about
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: bringing the family together and creating memories because that's what
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: would happen with my family. And so I would find
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that a lot of people just didn't know how to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: do it and they were so overwhelmed and they felt
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like they had to be professional chefs to get you know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: food on the table. So I said, you know what,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: let me just come out with the YouTube channel called
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Tamor's Quick Fix. And again this was all me, like hounding,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: like I'm the person where the reason why I have
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the career that I have to is because I don't
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: give up number one and I hound, I tell people
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: what I want. I don't wait for people to you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: do something for me. I learned that at a young age,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you know that if I want something, I have to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: go out and get it myself. So I you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: created the YouTube you just for that, so people could
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you know, be inspired and uplifted and just have the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: safe community that they can you know, talk to and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: share stories and learn. It's powerful and it's powerful and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of people understand that when I when I,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: like I said, interview people a lot at least you know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: five people every week, and as entrepreneurship is entertainment. And
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I did not look at you know, here's the deal.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: She was born with a twin okay, and so her
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: sister was passionate about acting. You know, your new deal.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: When you hit that set, where's the script? And I
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: knew because we were to talk, we should talk. You know,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: we just go out to dinner. Sometimes it took you
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to the shark Ball, y'all, to the Shokball and and so.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: But you were still defining who you were. You know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you had the talent to do. You was on a
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: successful show. But I could always tell that really wasn't
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: your passion because you had to find something else. And
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: now acting there's part of your passion. But when you
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: have all these talents, that's when I look at this
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel. I smiled the most till on the YouTube
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: channel because I know you that's you, that's your line,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that's your passion that's come here. This is not a script,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: this is not a sitcom, this is not a reality show.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: This is me and seven hundred and twenty six thousand
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and counting have said we love you. Yes, yes, yes,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: you know. We also have a Facebook channel and on
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the so all together with the timor quit six hub
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: or community, we have about two point four million followers,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: so we have one point for yes, we have one
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: point four million followers on Facebook and we haven't we
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: haven't even hit three years yet. It's just like two
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: two and a half year. We have one point four
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: million followers on Facebook, and then we're at like four
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty something thousands on Instagram. But you're absolute right,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And you know, um, I was looking at Will Smith's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you know, YouTube channel, and he was I was reading
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: something about him and he was saying that and I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: resonated because he was saying that he really really loved
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: doing his YouTube channel. Because again, there's no scripts, nobody's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: telling you what to do. I get to take controls
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: of what I want, what my content is, and I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: know my audience more than anybody anybody, and I'm given
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the power to be able to, you know, create what
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I believe my fans will like and also create what
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I like to do. So that's what you're saying. You're
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: seeing that authenticity, You're seeing that enthusiasm, you're seeing mia
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's great to be able to tap
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: into that and that that's what that that's why I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: wanted to start with that. Just let you know that. Uh.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I love watching it. I love watching your smile. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: love the difference in there. You know, you looking, you baking, you,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you have your your birthday part you. You know, that's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: It's like if you was on the network, you can't
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: do that. Stick to the bow. You can bake one
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: episode and motivate the next episode. You can't do that.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Not only that. No, and let me tell you something
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Bill with you Okay, So you know I had a
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: cooking show. I had a cooking show cooking channel which
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: yeah with U called Tamore at Home and it was
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: on the sister network of Food Network and what was
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: so it lasted for three years. But what was so
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: interesting was and what I've learned as a businesswoman is
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: when you're on somebody else's show, you're having to have
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to tap into their brand. So I had to tap
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: into the Food Network brand, which was and is predominantly
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Middle America, which is fine and which is okay, But
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: like I said, I really know where my my audiences.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I know how old they are, I know the demo graphic,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and so it becomes a little stifling when you have
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to put yourself in some sort of you know box,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: because I would want to do certain recipes and they're like, sorry,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: we can't do that recipe because it doesn't cater to
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: such and such and such, and I'm like, I know,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: but but see, that's what's so beautiful about having your
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: own YouTube connel. You're able to come on to build
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: your lady false ye, but yeah, but it's so beautiful
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that you know, you know, all I do is marketing.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I do marketing and branding and looking at individual talents,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and I just see that you know that that's that's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a mature decision because that's what I love about watching
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you grow because I think two weeks ago, use seven
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: two thousand subscribers and listen to much. I'm just telling
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you that's crazy. I mean, that is oh, that is
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: like people sharing. That means when you because you know
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: our YouTube works like this, what happens is it? Since
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: our notifications every time you upload a video. That's how
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: YouTube works, and so then people will share these videos
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and to be inspired. And so I just I just
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: know that when I when I see you taking control
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: of your brand and being able to have something to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: say about your brain, that's powerful. Dude, I stop, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to stop, television, but it's always
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: nice to be somewhere. Said, you know something, I feel
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: like baking the day and I feel like go out
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: there and stand up for your rights. I feel like
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: talking to entrepreneurs today. I feel like, you know something,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like going shopping and putting go prol on
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: my head and go shopping. Okay, yes, yes, because you
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: know what, don't all sever Sean, It comes from excuse me?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: For me, it comes from inspiration because I know that
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there that our
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: moms and that are juggling um that want to know
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: how to cook or want to know how to how
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: do you get around the growth store? So for me,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: it's about showing how I do it so I can
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: inspire somebody else to do it. You know what I mean? Yeah,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: like you said, it kind of becomes that chain effect,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and then when people are inspired, they're like, okay, well
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: let me follow this girl, you know, because I can
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: learn something from her, and then you know, you know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you know something. It becomes more than just being a fan.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It's not a fan anymore. You know, you're you are expert,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you are a person that you know what I'm saying
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: it Really it becomes that you become you becomes an influence,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and influence is a very powerful term, and it's not
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: being a follower. That means people value your your thoughts,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: value the direction, value your opinion, and that's all we
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: have a want out of life. Because as an actor,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm just going to be truthful about this
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: because sometimes you know, if you're out there just and
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you want an oscar people were you a great actor?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: You know, she's really funny, comedian, he's a great singer.

  Speaker 1: dot Ai. Here's something that really called my eye. I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: am set a huge fame. We're talking about your cookbook.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Whole new you. Okay, roasted and beat salad girl, you
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: know how what a nut I am for beat? I really,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: my god. I love going to restaurant. But every restaurant
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: can't do beat, you know, make them into these big
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: old chunks. And I go, really, yes, really? You you
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: have to like carrots? Yes, okay, you have to try
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the the roasted rainbow care at Specialty. I make that
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: several times and that's so good too. The thing about
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: me and whenever I cook and if you follow you
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: know fumres quick fix or if you um, you know,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: look through my cookbook. And then the main thing about
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: this cookbook is, you know, I wrote it and I
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: was inspired because I was dealing with something called endometriosis.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: And I absolutely love food. But when you have a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: highly inflammatory condition like endometriosis, you have to stay away
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: from certain foods that exacerbate the inflammation in your body.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: But for me, I love food. So my point is
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: is that even though it's healthy, it has to be
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: very tasteful. It has to have flavor. So that's one
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: thing about you know, these recipes that you will see
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that it's you know, instead of using regular milk, it
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: was use you know, non dairy alternative um. But you
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: will not be sacrificing on that labor. So my point
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: is is that the beat the caesar salad and the carrots,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: even though those are like we're on the healthier side,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: they're so finger looking good because you know, there's a
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: lot of flavor in there. I throw that in there.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just going through word. This is a
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: quick it's tears quick fix. This is rashwan quick look
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: in the in the cookbook. Okay, okay, and the and
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to close it out, you really you really shut me
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: down with the classic hammas. Oh my god, oh yes,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: oh yes, oh yes, I love hammas. I love hammas.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I will eat that yet, Saiki to Oh my god,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: you put them to in front of me, girl. I'm on,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm on a diet, but I'm
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: eating like I'm on a diet. No. Yeah, And you know, Homas,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: you can, you know, you can do it so many
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: you know, different things. Um and and you know what
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I like to do is I just like to create
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: some sort of like a snack, you know what I mean.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I'll do the hummed and then I'll chop up some
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: cucumbers with some carrots, and then I'll put you know whatever,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: all of the choice that you like, and then you
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: even can throw some crassers in there. And that's what
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: you can put hummus on. Or sometimes what a lot
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: of people do is they used to pea bread. But
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that right there is a very healthy, feeling delicious meal
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: or snack. But not only that. You realize when you
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: buy hummus from the grocery store, those things, especially when
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: it's organic, could be like around five six dollars when
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you make the hummics to yourself, you can, you know,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: add more salt, more garlic or whatever you want and
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: it's cheaper. So I have a big old bowl, I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: put some, I put it a cap on it, I
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: put it, slide it in the cent a share for
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the refrigerant, and just be eaten. I just now see
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: when you make your all harmless, it's never a small
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: portion you make homes. It's humble. You do. You get
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: your celery stick. Okay, get that celery. I'll be eating.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: So I know your boy Rashaan is happy. Okay, Okay,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: we've got a few minutes left. We've got a few
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: minutes left. We gotta talk about this wonderful family reunion.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: It's some other things we can talk about, but I
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: know I cannot leave this. Talk about the sitcoms on Netflix,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm one most watched family show. A good friend
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: of mine who I mentor, Anthony Hill, is one of
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the producers on this show. That's my young girl, that's
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: my youngster. Okay, and uh, I'm so proud of him.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: When I watched his growth, he was from Houston, Texas,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: and he came up to one day he said, I
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: want to be a writer. I said, while you're standing
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: in Houston talking to me, Okay, he's not just watching success,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: he's on your show. So I feel I have an angel,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: you know, looking out for you. Even though I like
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: many years ago in the nanties, I was looking out
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: for you and watching you grow. And you can you
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: see him watch you as adults. I caught you with
• 27:55

  Speaker 1: hard on set. He's funny, and it's the blessing to
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: have him, you know, on on set. But you know,

• 28:50
  Speaker 1: were talking about that. We're talking about their Family Union,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: which is on Netflix. When I see names like Richard Rowntree,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I see names like Loretta Divine, I see names like
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: on a show with that much working history. Yeah, yes,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I am in heaven every single day. Like I love
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: going to work. And Loretta Divine. I always say, this
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: is so cliche, but she is so divine. She's taught
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: me what's so amazing about her as an actress is
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: it's not only as an actress, just as a woman,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a black woman being in this business. She's taught me
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: how to She's gentle, you know what I mean. Like,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Loretta Divine is so divine. But when she sees something
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that she doesn't agree with, when she's feeling something that
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: she will stand up. And I just love to witness that.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And I tell her that all the time because you
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: know she has to yourself. But I said, the sport
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: to it when she like really like stands up for
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: what she believes in. And you know, I've been in
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: this business for such a long time, and I'm gonna
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: be very honest with you from an after standpoint, I
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: never had that strength. I'm saying, I don't. I don't
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: know if this is working for me or I feel
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: like like she's you know, and of course she's earned
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: it because she's a legend um. But it's so beautiful
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: to see her just command of seeing command of the stage,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: just you know, be in her presence. And then Richard Richard,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: when I say this is the coolest man that he
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: this man and I'm not kidding, he has a cigar
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: and he walks around with a cigar. And what I
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: love about him is, you know, we share trailer, so um,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I'm on one side, he's on the other side. And
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: so whenever I come outside, I see him just sitting
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: in his chair, just smoking his cigar and just laid
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: back and chill and as ever he is just And again,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: this thing that I love, what I've learned about Richard
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: as an actor is if he just has one line,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: you could tell that there's a huge story about that
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: one line that he's given himself. And and I'll give
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: you an example that and I haven't even told him this,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: but maybe I should. He was explaining pie, you know,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: and just the way that he used his body and
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: his body what I mean by body is as an actor,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: like his body language, you could tell that he was
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: tasting this pie and he had history with this pie
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: when he just mentioned I and I'm like, I picked
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: that up. As an actor, I was like wow, Like,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: of course, with the with the script, you always have
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: a backstory and you always know what's going on within
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the script. But he goes even deeper and you could
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: tell that there's experience in history with whatever is coming
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: out of his mouth. And I think that's what makes
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: it so grounding and that's what makes him just such
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: an incredible actor. But as a person, he is, he is,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: he's really chaff, you know, you know, I you know,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you know we were talking your I I want these
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: folks to think I'm talking in town, up your time,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: but to uh you know, you know, as I said,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: are you know we talked about the vitamin company. We'll
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: talked about that next time and away, but I want
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: to get that out. Let me just get the vitamin out.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: So anyway, so I have a supplement line called answer right,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I can do this very quickly. So again, everything that
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I do is because I want to inspire, and I inspired.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: What inspired me and motivated me to come out with
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: this line Number one was my personal health history with indometrios.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Is I already touched on that UM. But you know
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: how I was able to make the symptoms just become
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: suppressed and just you know, developed this wellness was I
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: changed my diet, I started to take supplements, I started
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: to meditate, I started to exercise, and I saw a
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: huge shift in my wellness in my house. While I
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: was on this journey, I didn't see representation. I did
• 32:57
