That was like a skill I had to develop to becoming a public person of that. What was that skill? It's so annoying. What is that skill? Well, I don't know that it's a beneficial skill, but it's thinking 10 steps ahead about what you are about to say. And so I find that. Exhausting.

Everybody... I mean... But I remember the... You know, they give you those mics that, like, go on your thing. And I was...

And I also am curious about that around if If there were any of your experiences that were impacted by the fact that you also have been seen as this like, you know, sex symbol and a hottie and was part of then that sort of other piece of it of like part of your...
