Well, I mean, I'm not really...

I don't actually tell people to go to hell.

That's not my personality, but I think that the go to hell vibe steadies me and gives me a certain comfort and confidence in myself.

I'm certainly not a perfectly confident person.

I have my own little glitches that Stephanie and I were actually talking about in the past couple of days that...

Sometimes I get deeply insecure around when there's certain power dynamics where I don't, I'm not quite sure how to navigate.

But that's for my therapy, we decided.

And about myself.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's that, I guess that's what I meant is like,

You know, the example of after having had cancer, I did an HBO special where half of it I did with my shirt off and it was just my double mastectomy scars.

And I was so excited to reveal that once I came to terms with what my body looked like.

And realized, why would I be ashamed of my body when the scars were just evidence?

That was just evidence that my body healed.

And so I was so excited to go out on stage, talk about ridiculous things, and not acknowledge that I took my shirt off.

And that is kind of a go to hell experience.

No, I hadn't seen anything.

It came from a very natural place.
