And now Kieran and I are going to these like award shows together. And it's like – it's just not the same level of comfort with each other. Partly it's the venue. But also it's because when you're playing a character and like – It's he has license to hug me and push me and make fun of me and slap me.

And I have license to kind of like be scared of him, but also kind of lord my stability over him in the movie. Like there's it's just such a more comfortable relationship because the the set of circumstances and the and the scenes dictate what we have to do. And to me, it's just like there's nothing more comforting in the world.

Yeah. So before I was born, she was like a choreographer in a Christian boys school in Philly. Well, my dad was at Temple getting his degree. When I was growing up, though, she was a birthday party clown. So she did like birthday parties in the tri-state area, you know. And so she would... You know, basically wake up every morning and, you know, tiptoe downstairs and tune her guitar.

And she would be, you know, put on her makeup and her ridiculous outfit and her shoes and, you know, her pinwheel hat. And so she was doing some, like, real absurdist performance. And so that was just normalized to me. So when I was, like, you know, acting or got into the arts...

To me, like, the awkward leap that a lot of people have to make to, like, be on stage and do something, I'm using quotes, silly on stage, like, a lot of people find that to be, like, an awkward hump to get over.
