Da'Vine Joy Randolph

You did a lot of Shakespeare.

Later, yeah, later.

So when I got into Yale, I faked it.

I did Shakespeare, but I think I did like Titania when she sees Bottom and she's like in love.

So I didn't have to really like, you know.

Yeah, like it wasn't me reciting like Hamlet where it was like, okay, you're just standing there and delivering this speech.

It was.

It was like this strong.

Titania is like, kind of like.

Michelle Obama, like a tough girl that's like got it all together, who now you see gets to be like she's drunk the Kool-Aid and she's like whimsically like this ingenue in love and just being silly and in love with this, like, you know, having like a kind of like teenage middle school moment of like, oh, my God, this guy is so cute.

But like I'm saying in the sense of like I wasn't doing Hamlet.

Absolutely.

So I went to, after my first year, I was like, I don't know this because I was doing another classical art.

I don't know this one.

And so I went to the British Academy of Dramatic Arts at Oxford, which I couldn't believe it.

We literally ate lunch.

Where Harry Potter ate lunch.

Like, I remember walking in there being like, oh my God, I made it.

Yeah.

And so I was, it was just so cool because I learned Shakespeare like by the people who do it.
