00:00What is it like to be in full glam at 8 in the morning?
00:03I mean, I feel seen. I feel empowered. I feel great.
00:10We're all waking up together.
00:11That's right. The coffee's now kicking in.
00:15For sure. Well, we're, of course, celebrating all these incredible, powerful women today, yourself included.
00:20What is it like to be in this room, and why is women supporting women more important now more than ever?
00:25I feel like our incoming administration is one huge fucking reason for us to have each other's backs.
00:34I think that women supporting each other is why I do what I do, and being in this room is an honor.
00:42I mean, I want to say, like, all these women have been on my vision board, so to be in their company is amazing.
00:49And, yeah, I'm just really excited to uplift each other and support each other.
00:52Sure. Is there one female-led performance that you need everyone to watch this year?
00:57Besides mine?
00:59Hello? Yes, that goes without saying.
01:02I mean, there's so much amazing film and television right now, so I can't give you just one,
01:08but I think that it's such a great time right now for female-led performances,
01:13and I think that going out and supporting that intentionally is what we all have to do,
01:18because it takes intention to support each other.
01:21White Lotus, Season 3, what was your thoughts when you found out that Belinda was making a comeback?
01:29I was shocked. I had no idea.
01:31You know, I watched Season 2 as a fan of the series, obviously, and I love Mike,
01:35and so when he asked me to come back, I said, when and where? I was ready, yeah.
01:40What can you tease for us?
01:42I was in Thailand for about five months shooting, and so Belinda has an amazing story this season,
01:49and I'm just really excited for audiences to see where it goes. Yeah.
01:53Okay, finally, who the F did I marry?
01:57That's right, Teresa Johnson, Risa Tisa.
02:00What were those conversations with Risa Tisa like in order to bring this project to the screen?
02:04Well, what's crazy is I met her over Zoom while I was in Thailand shooting White and the Lotus,
02:10because that's when things were getting viral, and so just talking with her,
02:14I was just inspired by her story and wanted to tell it,
02:16and when we won the very competitive bid to get it, my production company, Big Hattie Productions,
02:21we set up a dinner, and she and I met, and I was like,
02:24oh, you're just like my sister from a different mister.
02:26We just connected and bonded, and I can't wait to tell her story.
