Did you have a moment in your career where you thought,
00:02
oh, I made it?
00:04
Nope.
00:05
I feel like I'm still waiting for someone to walk in
00:07
and tell me that the jig is up.
00:08
We are who we are, no matter what we are.
00:11
And we are the sum of all, if not everything that we collect,
00:21
but of our experience.
00:24
We get tickets to see anything.
00:25
We could get our hands on Jesus Christ Superstar,
00:27
or The Mouse Trap, or whatever funny old mystery
00:31
that was on stage.
00:33
It opened up like a giant toy box to me,
00:35
and I thought, I want to do that.
00:38
We get tickets to see anything.
00:39
We could get our hands on Jesus Christ Superstar,
00:42
or The Mouse Trap, or whatever funny old mystery
00:45
that was on stage.
00:47
It opened up like a giant toy box to me,
00:49
and I thought, I want to do that.
01:08
His story is that he wants to belong.
01:10
For all that need of wanting to belong,
01:12
I identified with that, because I felt like,
01:15
I want to be a part of this Hollywood, also.
01:18
I love filmmaking, and I'm always
01:20
interested in diverse roles.
01:21
And this one presented the biggest challenge today for me.
01:24
So, ever the hero at heart, I was up for a role.
01:48
Why are they going to do this to me?
02:08
Why did I sign on for this?
02:09
Why am I going to be dangled upside down
02:11
and thrown at the ground?
02:12
I've learned that you can't literally throw yourself
02:14
into the job in a way that can harm you.
02:44
It's important to unburden yourself with the things you just don't need anymore, so
02:53
I can go forward now.
02:54
I was inspired by others with courage, and I was able to speak what I needed to say.
03:14
I hope that viewers bring whatever opinions or preconceived notions they have about those
03:24
who live with obesity to the film, and they are challenged by its content, and hopefully
03:33
by story's end, we can change some hearts and minds.
