Jameela Jamil

I want to go and write.

So I came to America to write.

I got signed to a big talent agency called Three Arts as a writer.

And then they happened to have the audition come through and they were looking for someone very tall and annoying.

And immediately I sprung to mind, which is very rude.

And...

I went to the audition somewhat against my will, but they just wanted to know if I could act.

So they just sent me to see how disastrously badly it would go.

I had no experience and I hilariously got it.

And I think it's my strong sense of self-sovereignty that gets me all these roles that I don't deserve because I think they're like, what is this?

What are we looking at?

Why is she so comfortable?

I don't know if I'm confident.

I think I'm comfortable.

And I think that might be even better.

I don't think I've ever made that distinction before, but I think that's how I feel.

And also confidence can be destabilized, but it's much harder to destabilize someone's inner comfort with themselves.

Yeah, it feels very subjective.

Whereas there's something objective about comfort.

I'm objectively comfortable and there's something subjective and shaky about the idea of confidence.
