Kerry Washington

Like when I'm playing a character, I like to think about

how she's become who she is and how she thinks and how she lives in the world and how society impacts who she is.

So I do feel like I use some of my, I feel like such a nerd, I've been talking too long about this.

But I use some of my social science.

Sociology is more the study of society.

And culture, yes.

No.

Anthropology is more indigenous cultures and historical culture, so not present-day society, but more the role of kind of how societies have evolved through time.

Anthropology has a little more ritual, like study of ritual.

I like an anthropology.

I like their stuff.

No, no, no.

NYU and Northwestern were the schools that had graduate degrees in performance studies that I admired and was interested in, but I didn't actually want to go to graduate school, so I tried to just skip ahead and do it in undergrad.

I went to GW in D.C.

G-dub.

I finished in a degree in performance studies.

I got to actually, like, I wrote my own situation.

I created my reality.

Yes, especially because I went to G-dub.

Yeah, people call me K. I just thought of that.
