I guess so.

Yeah, I guess I was empowered by the people I played in some ways.

And I also was born a powerful person.

Don't ask me why.

Sometimes, you know, I'm five foot three and every once in a while when somebody's doing some shenanigans, I get out of my car, I slam the door and I say, show me your license.

Really?

And shockingly, people do it or they, you know, or they listen to me because I played a powerful person on TV or because I was born that way or I don't know, you know, maybe that's the Karen in me.

that believes that somehow I should be listened to.

I really should be listened to.

I deserve to be listened to.

Who I am in the public sphere, the personality that I was born with but also that I had to develop in order to stay safe and to stay powerful has kept me away from a lot of bad stories.

Oh, well, yeah, it was a real thing, I suppose, where I saw somebody being bullied in a car situation.

And I got out of the car and was like, okay, you stand over there and you stand over there.

I want you 10 feet apart, you know, that kind of thing.

Wow.
