00:00We're gonna play a game called Word Association.
00:05So, beach.
00:07Sun.
00:08Food.
00:09Microni and cheese.
00:10Mom.
00:11Love.
00:12Body.
00:13Um.
00:14Clothes?
00:16I don't know.
00:17Um, health.
00:19Me.
00:19Body.
00:20Difficult.
00:21Complex.
00:23A thing.
00:24Working on it.
00:25Confusing.
00:26Scary.
00:27Ugh.
00:27Can you talk to me a little bit about your relationship with your body?
00:32I don't ever see my body as, like, a thing that I just own and I'm happy with.
00:36It's like a DIY project all the time.
00:39I think some days I wake up and I feel super beautiful and I'm, like, posing naked in front of
00:44my mirror.
00:44And then some days I wake up and I just feel disgusting.
00:47I used to do, like, really awful, like, diets where I, or just, like, things where I would just, like,
00:53stop eating.
00:53Where I would kind of do, like, one meal a day thing.
00:55You think that's the answer to your problems, but of course it's not.
00:58I eat so unhealthily sometimes that I notice that other times I just will, like, not eat bread for, like,
01:06a week.
01:06And I'll run every day that week.
01:08Then I break and I fucking order a pizza and I eat the entire pizza and then lie to my
01:12boyfriend that I didn't have dinner yet so let's go get fried chicken.
01:15And it's like, that doesn't feel good.
01:16I might not look different physically, but it just feels like I failed myself.
01:21It's stressful.
01:22Like, at camp, I was 12 then and I was, like, worried about how I looked in a bikini.
01:28What is it about being thin?
01:30Why is this still a problem?
01:32We all have issues with our bodies.
01:34If we just talked about it more, it wouldn't be such a huge deal, I don't think.
01:37I think we need to get a little more angry than we are.
01:40We were looped into this by advertisements, by parents who said, maybe you don't want a second helping.
01:46I don't know, it's just nice to be able to, like, actually talk to people in a real way because
01:50I would look at you and be like,
01:52Bitch has it under control.
01:54You know what I mean?
01:55Like, you obviously have a lot of pain, too, as we all do.
01:59Can you give yourself, like, the 13-year-old you or any of the young girls that you see, like,
02:05do you have advice for them?
02:08Own it because, like, you're you and that's, like, very important.
02:12You're so cute, you know?
02:13It was fine.
02:14You looked fine.
02:15I think that even, I would want to tell my high school self that and my college self that and,
02:18like, myself yesterday that.
02:20I could take up space in the world and I could be this 13-year-old little person but take
02:24up all space in a room and not just be shoved in, like, a corner.
02:28That kid body feeling was so cool.
02:33That idea of thinking of your body as just a vehicle to do fun things.
02:38Who is your favorite character on TV right now?
02:42I haven't written it yet.
02:44I want to see more characters that just, like, show people mess up.
02:48I want to see women being less perfect.
02:51I'm doing the show and I'm really, really nervous.
02:53Yeah, of course you are.
02:55But you better watch it, Grandma.
02:56Oh, absolutely.
02:58Oh, my God.
02:59Do I need another bitch sitting over there?
03:02There's, like, 500 of you.
03:04I'm out.
03:05I'm out.
03:05I'm out.
03:05I'm out.
03:05I'm out.
03:06I'm out.
03:06I'm out.
