00:00I'm so happy to see you. I have some things to say to you, but number one, are you a New Year's resolution person?

00:08Not really, but there's a feeling of newness when the clock strikes 12, wherever you are.

00:15There's a feeling of, there's like an invigoration, I feel.

00:20You know, I do think that I have to choose to have faith right now.

00:26It's a harder choice to make, but it's like, I have to.

00:32And, you know, I think about, okay, it's a new year.

00:36I know it was just yesterday that it was 2025, but it's also just like, let's use that symbolism and see what we can do for ourselves with it.

00:46I just want to give more people the benefit of the doubt.

00:48And I want to, like, continue to make space for all voices in my own, like, small circle.

00:56And as I go through my life, I've just turned 40, so it's, yeah, I don't know.

01:03I'm very appreciative of, like, where I'm standing right now physically and the privilege that I have.

01:11But I obviously, I'm lucky and, like, I get to be here with my friends who make good art and celebrate art.

01:26Happy birthday.

01:27Did you get to go get drunk and go to Target?

01:30I didn't, actually.

01:31It evolved.

01:32That idea evolved slowly.

01:36But I ended up just doing roller skating party upstate, which was absolutely perfect.

01:43I had a cortisone shot in my knee so I could skate all night, and I never took my blades off.

01:48It was awesome.

01:50And my daughter and son were there, like, till, like, 10 p.m.

01:53It was so epic.

01:56Yeah.

01:56Amanda, I was thinking, this is what I wanted to say to you.

01:58I'm thinking about, no shade to anyone else, but the year that you had, Long Bright River, Housemaid, Anne Lee,

02:05the diversity of those and the fearlessness of each of those performances was so stunning.

02:10And I just think, how do you carry that into a new year?

02:13Because it spoils you, right?

02:14Are you reading everything with a more discerning eye?

02:18I think the discernment comes from, like, who I'm going to be working with.

02:23Not necessarily what I'm going to be doing, what role I'm going to be playing,

02:26but, like, if someone has a clear vision, I'm just, and I'm just, I'm all in.

02:32If it's a good story and it's important, it doesn't have to be that important,

02:36but, like, if they're saying something interesting, something that I'm going to want to learn, too,

02:41that's, like, a shoe-in then.

02:44But I think, I just want to do comedy right now.

02:46But I had my plan already back last year.

02:49I had a, six months ago, my plan was to do this TV show called Skinny Dip.

02:55And actually, my best friend bought the show for Amazon.

03:02So not only am I getting to do this, like, awesome Carl Hiaasen comedy,

03:07but I'm working with him, and I haven't worked with him since Big Love.

03:12So it's, like, it's crazy.

03:14It's the stars have aligned.

03:15You know the supermoons tonight?

03:17And it's not going to be this close for the rest of the year.

03:20And do you know the thing next to the supermoon is Jupiter?

03:23Isn't that incredible?

03:24So you're going to see a piece of light next to the moon,

03:28which is, like, 30% bigger, apparently,

03:31because it's that much closer.

03:34And it's a wolf moon, I think, and Jupiter is next to it.

03:39Isn't that crazy?

03:40I feel like we're as reckless in the desert.

03:43Yeah!

03:44I mean, there's no light.

03:45I mean, there's little light pollution right now.

03:47So, I don't know.

03:48I'm excited.

03:50I'm going to be looking up.

03:53It's magic.

03:54It's magic.
