And I think, am I right that you do the same thing? Oh, without question. People know what to do for work. They know how to do their jobs. But finding something that's fun to do, I think it's much harder, isn't it? Yeah, but if you find it, don't let go of it. Exactly. Keep it going. Keep it going. And you found it. I mean, it's just so magical. And it has so much energy and positivity.
It's just fabulous.
What was the toughest time in your career?
It did. Isn't that interesting? Yes. And did they put you behind the potted plant so they couldn't see that you were pregnant?
In 2012, you created the character of Selina in Veep, who is both egomaniacal and kind of crazy. Yeah. And kind of delusional in some way, right? Totally delusional.
That's so smart.
Starting with every time you walked into a room saying, did the president call? 100%. Just love that line.
All caps. Isn't that great? Yeah. In your podcast, Wiser Than Me, you interview older women. What have you learned from them that was interesting?
And that is very freeing. And it's like rocket fuel. It really gives you freedom to do exactly what you want to do. That's right. But don't you think that a lot of your guests were that way when they were young? Actually, not necessarily. Yeah. I mean, like Jane Fonda wouldn't say that she was like that. No.
Yeah. And I thought, oh, my God, she's so right. I love that episode because in the middle of it, you ended up with a bomb cyclone and you got disconnected. Oh, yeah. Disconnected. And you handled that so beautifully. It was total Julie Louis driver's.
But it became like a character in the show and it was just brilliantly done.
You made a wonderful documentary that I adored about your late father and his kind of wacky art collection, right?
Yeah.
And he collected what he loved. And he collected what he loved. He didn't collect what other people would love. Yes. He collected what he loved. What he loved. Exactly. And I love what he did with it.
So I understand you like chocolate cake. Would you like me to show you how to ice a chocolate cake? If you don't show me, I'm going to kill you. definitely going to show you i give up coming up competitive cake making this is our first fight with incredible results i can't talk to you i gotta eat this
You like chocolate cake, right? Love it. Okay, I picked the right thing. So I'm going to show you how to make a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. Okay. And we're going to get it all over ourselves, I'm sure. Now, wait a minute. How did this happen? Well, I'm going to show you how I did it. The cake is really easy.
First, I sifted together one and three quarter cups of all purpose flour, two cups of sugar, three quarters of a cup of good cocoa powder, two teaspoons of baking soda, a teaspoon of baking powder, and a teaspoon of kosher salt. Then I put the dry ingredients into the bowl of my electric mixer. Next, the wet mix.
I combined a half a cup of vegetable oil, a cup of buttermilk, and two extra large eggs, plus one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and mixed them together. Then with the mixer on low, I added the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, plus a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee, and mixed it all together.
Then I poured the batter into two 8-inch pans that had been buttered, floured, and lined with parchment. into the oven 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Then I took them out to cool in their pans for 30 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Okay, so that's the cake. Yeah. Now the frosting. Oh, boy, the best part. You're in charge. I am. How's that? Yeah.
Two sticks of butter, unsalted butter. Yeah. Oh, no, you're not going to put that in yet. Can I just drink it? No, you can do that. You can forget the icing. Okay, we're going to turn this on. Yeah, that's good. And then we're going to put in one egg yolk. Should I do it? You should just do it. And if you don't want to use an egg yolk... You don't have to use an egg yolk. But I just did.
