Rhea Seehorn

I have to do this for the rest of my life.

I don't know how many day jobs I'm going to have to have.

It was not about being famous.

I knew that I had to be an actor and I'd support myself however I had to.

This is a dream come true being here.

Figure it out.

Why?

You said my life was my own.

So what happens when I say no?

Yeah, I definitely was asking myself a lot of those questions throughout this series.

And we had amazing conversations among the crew and the cast, you know, some of these late night shoots and even on weekends.

Stuff of like, well, would you choose what's best for the individual versus what's best for the community as a whole?

I personally think I would absolutely be team Carol as far as...

arguing, you know, the necessity and the positives of individual thinking and independent thinking.

For one thing, a big thing that came up for me was the fact that this group think, no matter how intelligent and how peaceful, one of the ideas of happiness and joy, which maybe is slightly different, is being surprised by things, whether it's wonder growing up as a kid and hopefully still as an adult, or...

a giant belly laugh.

And if you cannot be surprised, there's never going to be any new art.

There's never going to be a joke that you haven't heard.

There's never going to be surprise behavior that makes you laugh.

And that's just such a source of joy for me that I just can't imagine that contentment is the same as happiness.
