00:05All right, what is your pinch-me Hollywood moment?
00:08My pinch-me Hollywood moment.
00:12My pinch-me Hollywood moment was when I met Spike Lee.
00:17Meeting Jeff Goldblum.
00:18He's like the definition of fab.
00:21I got to meet Sebastian Stan.
00:23He was just like an example of perfect acting.
00:27Being on set with Pedro Almodovar.
00:29He got to divulge into his own life story.
00:31He opened up a lot, so it was really interesting.
00:34And then he said, can I have a picture with you?
00:36And I said, are you Jamie Foxx asking me if I can take a picture with you?
00:40And I was like, hi, I just want to say you're the big reason.
00:45And he let me stutter through the whole thing.
00:47It's going to sound so weird.
00:48I got a really lovely compliment from a very famous actress.
00:54And she gave me a kiss on the cheek, which is very innocent.
00:57But it was so Hollywood.
01:00My pinch-me Hollywood moment.
01:02I came to LA just like as a little fangirl with my family.
01:07And we like camped outside of the Bridesmaids premiere.
01:09And I was like screaming at Kristen Wiig.
01:11And that was just like the coolest experience of my life.
01:13And then it was very full circle when Block is premiered at the same theater.
01:17When we found out we got nominated for the Emmy, and then I was invited to the Oscars, that was a surreal moment.
01:24I was able to go to the Tony Awards.
01:26And I still can't really believe that I got lucky enough to be there and sort of rub shoulders with so many incredible, talented people.
01:33Seeing my mom cry at Venice Film Festival and not having words to express what it was like for her to see her baby on screen.
01:42When I saw the film for the first time, I sat down and it was just me in a room.
01:48The opening credits started rolling and I burst into tears.
01:51I was standing outside the movie theater and Sean Baker walked up to me and asked if I'd like to audition for his movie.
01:57Nothing can compare.
01:58My Pinch Me Hollywood moment was my first day of set, working on beef.
02:04That's actually powerful.
02:06I think it was when I was shooting Overcompensating and we had this one scene that was with me, Kyle MacLachlan and Connie Britton.
02:13I kind of had this moment where I'm like, that's my mom and that's my dad.
02:16What the fuck?
02:17Like I can't believe I tricked people into giving me this show.
02:21Pinch Me.
