That's the thing that's been happening, which is that I don't always remember nouns. Names of people, particularly names of people. Right, right. That's why I had to ask you about that movie. See, I forgot it again. Well, now I forgot it. Okay. So far, that's the only thing. But it's a very annoying thing because you can see the object or the person.

You see them as clear as day, but your brain will not come up with the name until five minutes later. It does come back.

Yes, it's frustrating. Of course it's frustrating. Yeah, yeah. Because very often I have to describe the person whose name I can't think of. You know, the one who was married to Harvey Weinstein. Right. You know, that kind of thing. Right. Oh, you mean so-and-so? No, that's not the one. So, yes, it's annoying. Yeah, it's annoying.

There is very definitely a side of me that is always kind of delighted with when something doesn't work out for me. You're kidding! Oh, I've named her Rosita. Little Rosita, which was my name as a child.

But this is a naughty Rosita who kind of sits on a shoulder. And I've learned to deal with her this way. Rosita, when something bad happens, will very often appear, not always, but often enough, appear and say... I told you. She's still there after all these years.

And after wonderful, wonderful psychiatric work and all that, Rosita exists. And what I've learned to do with Rosita is say, go to your room, little bitch. Sometimes she does. Sometimes she doesn't. But what happens when she doesn't? Rita. I, Rita, have to deal with it in my own way. I just have to, you know, I examine stuff. I examine stuff all the time. I break things apart like a puzzle.

That's what I do. I'm very good at that. I'm very good at knowing why people behave in certain ways, which is part of being an actor. Sure. Human behavior. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. And I'm really good at that. And I'm able to do it with myself. It doesn't always work. But the thing is, you have to address it. Her, him, whoever. You have to address it.

You can't just say, God, I'm feeling so miserable. I'll try to forget this. It doesn't work anyway. That doesn't work at all. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, you're a very smart girl. Yeah. And you're not a girl either, but to me you are. I'll take it. Yes. I think that works very well. And I'll tell you something else that I've started doing. Actually, since I moved here, which is not more than 10 months maybe. There's something about me that's very joyous. Yeah, no kidding. It's just very much a part of me. I laugh a lot.

I mean, laughing is like a hobby with me. Yeah. I love, the reason I really fell in love with my husband is because he was funny. Yeah, that's the great aphrodisiac. I'm the only woman in life, in this life, I'm sure, who thought that Mel Brooks was sexy because he was funny.
