Rita Wilson

So actually, the older you are in a conventional sense, in many ways, the more creative you can be because the more you can draw on.

Can I also just say that I love the sound of your friendship group, like Nora Ephron and Bruce Springsteen.

Sign me up.

That's like, wait, that's not name-dropping.

No, I know.

I really mean that, you know.

It didn't come across as name-dropping at all.

Okay, good.

I know of several people personally who have been helped by work that you've put into the world, pieces that you've written.

You wrote this extraordinary piece about breast cancer and surviving breast cancer for Arthur Bizarre, which was beautiful.

Maybe we could come on to that.

But also my big fat Greek wedding.

My aunt is Greek.

Yes, and you are a hero in that household.

And my two cousins, who are like sisters to me, obviously are half Greek, and they felt so seen by the story that you brought to screen.

You know, but this is the thing.

Again, I want to credit the writer, Nia Vardalos, because really she wrote something that was so...

To me, it was so specific to my life and my upbringing.

I loved that we could look at our own cultural heritage and be able to embrace it and love it and also understand that it may not apply to everybody.

And yet, if you're with somebody who is not from that same cultural heritage, that it might seem like really outside the box for them.
