00:00How did you say goodbye to you?
00:01I went and did a retreat.
00:03Oh, yeah?
00:04You know, you hear of people kind of struggling to sort of close a chapter on something like that.
00:11And, you know, I have a small child, so I wanted to do something that was sort of contained
00:17and I could sort of go and honor my character and say goodbye properly.
00:22And so I did. I went and did a meditation and yoga retreat.
00:27Buried yourself.
00:28I think that's lovely.
00:30I can see someone does this.
00:31That Sam likes to slag me off about.
00:32No, I mean, I wrote a letter to my character.
00:35Aww.
00:37Yeah, but that's very sweet.
00:38Yeah, it was, yeah, I mean, I think it's like, how do you say goodbye?
00:41And I think when I was Jamie, there wasn't a separation, but now I sort of look back and
00:48I'm like, oh, yeah, this character, and I think he's always there.
00:50Yeah.
00:51He's always part of you.
00:51And, you know, I've got a full Jamie Fraser outfit at home, so.
00:56Have you put it on again?
00:58Yeah, I haven't put it on.
00:58I don't think I ever will, but it's kind of cool.
01:01It's cool to like have it there, but yeah, it's part of you.
01:03But I think, and I'm sure you feel this way as well.
01:06You know, when I was on my retreat, I think one of the things that I was hit with the
01:10most
01:11was that Claire had been my greatest teacher, you know, that I learned so much over the
01:17years from her and inhabiting somebody who has her qualities for that long.
01:23It's, you know, it's such a gift.
01:25I can't imagine sort of inhabiting somebody who had like a darkness at their core or something
01:30like that for that long.
01:31So it was just an incredible gift to inhabit somebody who was so positive and someone I
01:38could look up to so much.
01:39So, let's see.
01:40Let's see.
01:40Let's see.
01:40Let's see.
