It's okay.

But I'm like, that experience of my castmates who work on XO Kitty being their first job, it's like, now you seem like maybe you're unprofessional or you're unprepared.

And I'm like, that's not fair.

Because if you put me in any other job, I wouldn't have no idea what I'm doing.

I would need training.

And I would need someone to tell me what lingo means or even like, what does it mean when like, what does this word stand for?

Like things that are just like they're assumed that like you show up on set and you're supposed to know these things and no one's teaching you is like, that's so unfair.

that I'm very lucky that I had the background when I was a kid, so I was allowed to mess up and be imperfect because now you're expected to know what you're doing when you show up just because.

Yeah, and I'm like, if you made me be a chef tomorrow and I showed up in the kitchen, why would I know what I'm doing?

I'm like, any sort of spot you put me in that wasn't a set, I would be lost.

That's so unfair to adult actors who are starting now.

Totally.

It's so important.

one of the chicken girls is one of your best friends yes no there's honestly like i've made friends and i was like 15 16 in la that like i am still so close with and like are like such a wonderful community here and i'm just so lucky that i met them when i did like that pivotal time of like right i was not cool in high school i was like figuring out that like i went to regular public school while trying to figure out career stuff and like i

high school's weird for everybody but like it definitely was weird at many times and like to have such strong friends like in the industry in that era was so important and then also like i was lucky to make good friends at home too but like having kind of my hannah montana life of having a community in this world and in that world was no dead ass i was gonna say you literally were hannah montana i was like always on that blonde wig and going to work honored by that compliment i was like yes

You get the limo out front.

I was like, that is, that's me, guys.

But I definitely, like, really leaned into that in high school, of being like, whoa, I have two worlds, like, this weird, crazy, double life of, like, it was weird.

It totally was, like, of being like, oh, I'm going to Rick Hartford, and, like, tomorrow I have, like, a bio test that, like, I need to run into my, like, school that, like, I'm so not cool in.

But then, like, I'm, like, hyped up in work-wise.
