00:00Look at that scene like as it opens the film and then sort of closes the film where this man is just sort of like

00:06looking through you and he's like

00:09He doesn't even see you as a performer as

00:12Anything other than just some widget that he can either

00:16Plug into his production or not and is that something that is there is a parallel in Hollywood?

00:22Well, I think I like the fact that she's not a pushover. I mean Shelly is very

00:27She has this optimistic look on life, but she also has her boundaries

00:30they're different maybe than other people's but she I like that she challenged him in that scene and

00:37stood up for herself

00:39Because you know just you can't leave that you can't like I feel like you've got to be able to you know

00:45Like I'm 57 and I'm beautiful like I thought that was a real powerful line

00:49It's like, you know, she's kind of lying her way through and then it's just like, you know, let's screw it

00:53I'm 57 and I'm fucking beautiful. Sorry beautiful. That's supposed to live in the movie. Um

00:57so I just I I I do feel like it at the end of the day, that's you know, you have to have

01:05Your your value your sense of worth and it's a it's a crazy business

01:10It's based on you, but you don't want to become bitter

01:12Like I feel like that's the parallel to with Shelley and I is that you know, if you're bitter they win

01:17So just you got to keep keep up just keep enjoying it all the good the bad the ugly the all of it

01:24It's a creative process. There's nothing easy about it. And it's we're blessed to be in it. So

01:29That's how I feel about it, too
