00:00To answer your question, I kept my head down for a long time and just did what was on the page, just did the work.
00:07And it wasn't until actually season two had come out that I realized that I really figured out who he was.
00:17Even though I had, I think, been doing it, somebody said, well, there was a line in season two where I'm being really selfish.
00:26And Jason Segel's character says, are you really that much of a narcissist that you can't see what this is about?
00:32And I say, yes, Jimmy, that's what narcissism is.
00:36Having the courage to put yourself above others.
00:40Wow. Courage. Great words.
00:43Are you really such a narcissist that you have to choose right now to make it about you?
00:47Yes. That's what narcissism is, Jimmy. Having the courage to put yourself above others.
00:53That's not what narcissism is.
00:54When I did, I was like, that's such a funny line. That's so funny.
00:57And then it wasn't until somebody came up to me, because a lot of times people come up and say, I'm a therapist and I love your show, which is great.
01:04So gratifying.
01:05This woman came up and said, I'm a therapist and I love your show and I love your character.
01:08He's such a narcissist.
01:10And I was like, no, he's not.
01:12Courageous.
01:13I had no idea that he was a narcissist.
01:16And then I looked back and I was like, oh my God, of course he is.
01:19All this time I've been playing a narcissist.
01:21I've been so, I've had this tunnel vision and I didn't realize it.
01:25And of course, like, that's what a narcissist does too, right?
01:29Like, they don't know that they are one.
01:31So it was, it was, it was, it was a really, it was gratifying to hear, oh, it worked.
01:36But also, I was blown away that, that I, I didn't realize, I had my head so down.
01:43God, I'm a narcissist.
01:45Right.
01:45Well, and of course, then I was like, am I a narcissist?
01:48That's why I didn't realize?
01:49Yes, you are.
01:49That's why I was like, am I a narcissist?
