So it's a very intimate relationship.
I'm talking to myself and myself.
Um, so it did, it did, it definitely changed my, like I changed, you know, sort of the level of how I walked in the world maybe, or like level of fame or whatever.
No, I really there was all this pressure because at the time there was all this talk.
Every interview was about the fact that in almost 40 years there had not been a black woman as the lead of a network drama.
Every article in the beginning.
And I was like 37 or something at the time.
So in my lifetime, I had never seen a black woman as the lead of a network drama.
Hmm.
And and so that's all my pressure was my fear of like, if I screw this up, they're not going to let another woman of color be the lead of a network drama for another 40 years.
Like I knew that we had to get it right.
And I just had to work as hard as I'd ever worked on anything in my life.
But luckily, I've worked with amazing number ones like Jamie Foxx is the best number one in the business.
No offense to you other number ones on here, but he's just no one better than Jamie Foxx.
Jango, Ray, like having worked with him in those, he's just a fun, he's so generous.
He's a team leader.
He's a coach.
He's a cheerleader.
He's everybody's dad.
And so you picked up stuff from him and like- Yeah, I tried to collect, like Forest Whitaker's a beautiful number one.
