"Amanda Peet"

Sorry, that question was for Amanda.

And then we create, and then that, create that narrative, and those sort of neural pathways get deeper and deeper and deeper, those grooves, and if you're, the danger is that if you don't do that, I'm not advocating either way or whatever, I don't have really a position, but that if you, that those things get so deep that that becomes your story entrenched in your mind about who you are, I am this, this is the way, and you can, that can often lead to, I think, as you get older...

SmartLess
"Amanda Peet"

You know, I know I speak for myself.

SmartLess
"Amanda Peet"

The story that I've been telling myself about who I am for the longest time has become this thing that I'm like now at this age, almost 56, and going like, wait, I got to look at that.

SmartLess
"Amanda Peet"

Because I've had this narrative, and I'm not a reliable narrator on this.

SmartLess
"Amanda Peet"

"Amanda Peet"

SmartLess
"Amanda Peet"

And then...

SmartLess
"Amanda Peet"

And it's true in my experience that I've grown up and I do things differently.

SmartLess
"Amanda Peet"

And I'm only now at this age started to go like, wait a second, all the stuff that I thought, like I didn't do that early on.

SmartLess
"Amanda Peet"

I didn't go to psychoanalysis when I was young.

SmartLess
"Amanda Peet"

Thank God.

SmartLess
"Amanda Peet"

Well, maybe, but also now I got to sort of retroactively, like I'm much more actively really searching to try to unlock a lot of the stuff that...

"Amanda Peet"

made me who I am today, good and bad, in trying to understand it a little bit and go like, why do I do that?
