Transcript

00:00Yay!

00:07Hi, I'm Kerry Washington, and I am playing Pop Quiz with Mary Claire.

00:12Ready?

00:15Oh, God.

00:16Okay.

00:17The last song you got stuck in your head, it would be Cuff It.

00:21Faux.

00:22Show.

00:23It's the song of the year.

00:24There's no escaping it.

00:25And why would you want to?

00:30Word your friends would use to describe you.

00:35Oh, my gosh.

00:36I hate this question, always, because I feel like you should just ask my friends.

00:45I have friends here.

00:46Friends?

00:47What word would you use to describe me?

00:49Bossy.

00:50I'm so glad I asked my friends.

00:52Bossy.

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

01:00Do better, Kerry.

01:03Okay, here we go.

01:04Last book you read.

01:06Well, right now I'm reading Spare by Prince Harry, so I think that counts.

01:17Favorite dance move.

01:18I like a lot of dance moves.

01:21I like a lot.

01:22Let's see.

01:23Do I have a favorite dance move?

01:24Some microphones here.

01:25The classic WAP.

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

01:28Like, the...

01:29What's the WAP?

01:30It went...

01:33Does that count?

01:34Okay.

01:36Whoa!

01:37Oh, I have to do another one of these.

01:42How did you make your first dollar?

01:44I made my first dollar working for my mother, because she was the president of the Bronx Reading Council,

01:50and they used to always have these mailers, and 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.

02:01Which is really kind, now that I think about it, because she's my mother.

02:04She didn't have to pay me.

02:05So that's nice.

02:06What should every woman try at least once in her life?

02:17So many things.

02:20Every woman should try many, many, many different things in her life.

02:24But I think what every woman should try at least once in her life is to withstand the feelings of disappointing other people,

02:33to do what feels right to you.

02:36It feels really good.

02:41Guilty pleasure watch on TV or streamer.

02:43I don't believe in this whole guilty pleasure watch thing.

02:47I feel like if it gives you pleasure, no guilt.

02:49Things that give you pleasure should be happy things.

02:51No guilt.

02:52So the things that give me pleasure when I watch them...

02:58I used to really, really, really love Ayanla Fix My Life on OWN.

03:02I was really sad when Ayanla ended that show.

03:05She'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.

03:20And I love Spiral more than I ever thought that I could love an amphibian.

03:25Reptile?

03:26Not sure.

03:27But I love him.

03:28Do I have them on my face right now?

03:34Oh, go to late night snack.

03:37Ugh.

03:38Um, I am a dark chocolate lover.

03:42Like above 70%, above 80% if possible.

03:46Like a good dark chocolate.

03:48It is my happy place.

03:50And you can never have too much of it.

03:53There's not enough of it in the world for me.

03:55You're welcome.

03:59All right.

04:00This one says, what makes you feel most powerful or confident?

04:05I think the thing that makes me feel most powerful and confident is when I am really in a faithful place.

04:15Like when I feel close to God, to my spiritual practices.

04:19When I feel like I'm trusting in kind of my higher power.

04:24Then it allows me to feel more confident and powerful.

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

04:33Oh dear.

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

04:40I would want to tell my younger self that it's going to be okay and to just try to enjoy the journey.

04:47But I know that some of that, like, desire and drive is part of how I have the life I have today.

04:55But I would just want her to, like, trust more.

04:58And be, like, excited and ambitious.

05:01But without as much fear and worry.

05:06The number one thing on your bucket list.

05:08Well, 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.

05:14So, I have a few.

05:15I'll say two.

05:16One is to visit County Kerry in Ireland.

05:19Because I've never been there.

05:20And I'm named after County Kerry.

05:21So, I feel like that's a big one.

05:22And then I really want to see the Northern Lights.

05:25Two more.

05:29The penultimate question is.

05:31Most star-struck moment.

05:34I've done two movies with Sir Anthony Hopkins.

05:37And the first time that I worked with him, I was super nervous about meeting him.

05:42Because he's one of my favorite actors of all time.

05:44And I ran into him at craft service.

05:46And he, of course, was very calm.

05:48But I was, like, shaking and nervous and didn't know what to say to him.

05:53And he was so kind and so sweet.

05:55And I'm really grateful that he was so kind and so sweet.

05:58Because it was crazy embarrassing.

05:59I don't get star-struck a lot, but that was one for me.

06:02The last silver balloon is apparently a bonus question.

06:06Lord help me.

06:08Okay.

06:09Here we go.

06:10Whew!

06:11Tell us your story in six words.

06:15What?

06:16Oh, God.

06:17Okay.

06:18My story in six words.

06:21This is so hard.

06:24Everything's seven words.

06:25Okay, wait.

06:26Let me try.

06:27Bronx girl finds meaning in the journey.

06:32That's seven.

06:33But you'll have to accept it.

06:34All right, everybody.

06:37That's a wrap.

06:38All right, everybody, that's a wrap.
