00:00Yay

00:06Hi, I'm Kerry Washington, and I am playing pop quiz with Mary Claire ready

00:16Okay last song you got stuck in your head it would be cuff it

00:21Faux show it's the song of the year. There's no escaping it and why would you want to?

00:31A

00:31Word your friends would use to describe you. Oh my gosh

00:35I hate this question always because I feel like you should just ask my friends

00:43I

00:44Have friends here friends

00:47What word would you use to describe me bossy? I'm so glad I asked my friends

00:52bossy

00:53I'm a boss who's sometimes bossy apparently

01:00I

01:02Do better Gary, okay, here we go last book you read well right now

01:07I'm reading spare by Prince Harry, so I think that counts

01:16Favorite dance move I like a lot of dance moves

01:21I'd like a lot. Let's see. What do I have a favorite dance move some microphones here the classic wop

01:26that's the one that makes me feel silliest like the

01:29flop when

01:32Does that count okay, whoa I have to do another one of these

01:41How did you make your first dollar I made my first dollar working for my mother because she was

01:48The president of the Bronx Reading Council, and they used to always have these mailers

01:52And so she would gather my cousins and I around the table

01:55And we would fold up these flyers and stuff envelopes and close them and she paid us

02:00Which is really kind now that I think about it because she's my mother she didn't have to pay me, so that's nice

02:13What should every woman try at least once in her life so many things

02:19Every woman should try many many many different things in her life, but I think

02:25What every woman should try at least once in her life is to?

02:29Withstand the feelings of disappointing other people to do what feels right to you

02:36Feels really good

02:40Guilty pleasure watch on TV or streamer. I don't believe in this whole guilty pleasure watch thing

02:46I feel like if it gives you pleasure no guilt things that give you pleasure should be happy things no guilt

02:51So the things that give me pleasure when I watch them

02:56I

02:57Used to really really really love a yonla fix my life on own

03:01I was really sad when I yonla and did that show she's amazing

03:10Do you have any secret talents

03:13I'm learning that I have really good capacity to love lizards

03:18Because my son has a lizard named spiral and I love spiral more than I ever thought that I could love an amphibian

03:26Reptile, not sure but I love him

03:32So I have them on my face right now Oh go to late-night snack

03:38I

03:39Am a dark chocolate

03:41Lover like above 70% above 80% if possible like a good dark chocolate

03:48It is my happy place and you can never have too much of it. There's not enough of it in the world for me

03:55You're welcome

03:59All right, this one says what makes you feel most powerful or confident I

04:06Think the thing that makes me feel most powerful and confident is when I am

04:12Really in a faithful place like when I feel close to God to my spiritual practices when I feel like I'm

04:20trusting in

04:22Kind of my higher power than it allows me to feel more confident and powerful

04:30What advice would you give your younger self? Oh

04:34Dear, I mean, I would want to tell my younger self to just relax

04:40I don't want to tell my younger self that it's gonna be okay and to just try to enjoy the journey

04:47but I know that some of that like

04:50Desire and drive is part of how I have the life I have today

04:54But I would just want her to to like trust more and be like excited and ambitious

05:00But without as much fear and worry

05:06The number one thing on your bucket list, well, I've recently learned that you're not supposed to call it a bucket list

05:11You're supposed to call it a live it list

05:13So I have a few I'll say two

05:16One is to visit County Kerry in Ireland because I've never been there and I'm named after County Kerry

05:21So I feel like that's a big one and then I really want to see the Northern Lights

05:25two more

05:29The penultimate question is most

05:32Star-struck moment. I've done two movies with sir. Anthony Hopkins and the first time that I worked with him

05:39I

05:40was super nervous about meeting him because he's one of my favorite actors of all time and I ran into him at craft service and

05:46He of course was very calm

05:48but I was like

05:50Shaking and nervous and didn't know what to say to him and he was so kind and so sweet and I'm really grateful that he

05:56Was so kind and so sweet because it was crazy embarrassing

05:59I don't get starstruck a lot, but that was one for me. The last silver balloon is apparently a bonus question

06:06Lord help me. Okay. Here we go

06:11Whoo

06:12Tell us your story in six words

06:16What? Oh

06:17God, okay my story in six words

06:22This is so hard everything's seven words, okay, let me try

06:28Bronx girl finds meaning in the journey. That's seven, but you'll have to accept it

06:36All right, everybody that's a wrap
