00:00Look at that scene like as it opens the film and then sort of closes the film where this man is just sort of like
00:06looking through you and he's like
00:09He doesn't even see you as a performer as
00:12Anything other than just some widget that he can either
00:16Plug into his production or not and is that something that is there is a parallel in Hollywood?
00:22Well, I think I like the fact that she's not a pushover. I mean Shelly is very
00:27She has this optimistic look on life, but she also has her boundaries
00:30they're different maybe than other people's but she I like that she challenged him in that scene and
00:37stood up for herself
00:39Because you know just you can't leave that you can't like I feel like you've got to be able to you know
00:45Like I'm 57 and I'm beautiful like I thought that was a real powerful line
00:49It's like, you know, she's kind of lying her way through and then it's just like, you know, let's screw it
00:53I'm 57 and I'm fucking beautiful. Sorry beautiful. That's supposed to live in the movie. Um
00:57so I just I I I do feel like it at the end of the day, that's you know, you have to have
01:05Your your value your sense of worth and it's a it's a crazy business
01:10It's based on you, but you don't want to become bitter
01:12Like I feel like that's the parallel to with Shelley and I is that you know, if you're bitter they win
01:17So just you got to keep keep up just keep enjoying it all the good the bad the ugly the all of it
01:24It's a creative process. There's nothing easy about it. And it's we're blessed to be in it. So
01:29That's how I feel about it, too
