Transcript excerpt

So tell me, how has your relationship to technology changed since you worked on the show? Okay. First of all, I broke up a chat. I put my phone down. Nothing in writing. Okay? Nothing. And I'm more present. Talk to people. Oh, and for the role, I went kind of full method. So I got a little phobia of TVs, but it's okay. I got it under control. I'm good. You have a phobia of televisions? Mhmm. Mm-mm. I don't work with TVs. Okay. But you know there's a TV right behind you. Right?
