So we were in the hair and makeup trailer and it was me and LL Cool J. They are familiar. And I, you know, I'm very Scorpio and I like to argue and I like to be right more than anything. And people are like, do you want to be right? Or do you want, you know, do you want love? And I was like, to be right. I feel loved if I'm right.
So we were having a little argument back and forth, but the time is a ticking, right? And you're thinking, this is the most important thing, right? End of the day, I've sort of forgotten about the little debate that we were having. And I overhear one of the crew guys say, well, now I'm not going to make it to my daughter's, you know, event.
And you start to realize no one person is bigger than anyone else. It takes every single one of us to make this. And all of our time is important. And when you start thinking that your time is more important than someone else's, you've lost the plot.
And so I vowed that if I ever, you know, became a producer, that I would make sure that everyone's time was respected and everyone understood that no one person is more important than anyone else.
No, absolutely. But you have to be willing to like, you know, there was a gig and studio that shall remain nameless. They didn't want to give this woman who has been nominated for Oscars, multiple, an executive producer credit, which she deserved. We all worked on this project and they were like, This is good enough for her. And I said, well, it's not good enough for me. I'll give up mine.
I don't have what she has. I'm not bringing the same gravitas to this project. And you have to be able to take a stand. And if that means giving up some of your salary or giving up some of your producer fee or just making sure that people are getting paid or they like the food, that is part of our responsibility. I do believe I am my brother and sister's keeper. We all have to have that mentality.
It's scary. And I am in awe constantly of her bravery. But, you know, I'm like, you know, like I'm pumped, you know, in the same way that we would cheer for, you know, our son Zaire's first dunk. I was like, get him. The way she stands up for herself and the way she fights just as hard as as as anyone else whose liberty, whose very existence, whose very humanity is at risk.
She puts it all on the line. She has 10 toes down. And she doesn't back off for anybody. It doesn't matter if you hold the highest seat in our country or you're Elon Musk. Or maybe those are interchangeable. She is about not only her liberation, but everyone's liberation. Because when you start to barter with whole communities, And you let them in the door. They're in the house.
They're coming for everybody. Did no one watch Handmaid's Tale? That's right. It's coming. So you have to fight. And she's a fighter. And so I'm proud. I raised fighters. And I'm happy about that. Well, she has.
