MACAROONS?
>> Jason: SOUNDS RIGHT TO ME.
>>> OUR NEXT GUEST IS A FAMILIAR
IS US."
AND THEIR CHARACTERS ARE RAISING
OVERCOME.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> WHO WAS THAT?
>> WE'RE MEETING AT THE CLINK
THIS MORNING.
FROM THE WIRE?
>> BECAUSE IT'S NOT FAIR.
DAISY IS 12 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE
TO TAKE HER TO VISIT A WOMAN WHO
THINKS IT'S OKAY TO DRIVE HER
AROUND WITH AN UNLICENSED GUN IN
THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT.
>> IT'S COURT ORDERED.
>> BUT SHE'S A CRIMINAL.
>> I'M GONNA PUSH --
>> NO, I GOT THIS.
YOU GO TO WORK.
SOMEBODY'S GOT TO PAY FOR MY
HABIT.
COFFEE BEANS DON'T GROW ON
TREES, BUT TECHNICALLY THEY DO.
>> Jason: JOINING US IS SUSAN
CLUTCHY WATSON.
TATI, WHEN SHE FOUND OUT SHE WAS
GOING TO BE DOING THIS INTERVIEW
WITH YOU, FIRES BROKE OUT IN THE
BUILDING, SHE WAS THROWING
PEOPLE OFF THE BALCONY INTO OUR
ATRIUM FROM TWO STORIES UP, GET
OUT OF THE WAY, I'VE GOT TO
INTRODUCE SUSAN!
>> Tati: YES, IT'S ALL TRUE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US!
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
HEY, TATI, THANK YOU FOR THAT.
>> Tati: ABSOLUTELY.
>> FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT GOT
[LAUGHTER]
>> Jason: IT WAS TERRIBLE!
>> Tati: THEY'RE OKAY, DON'T
WORRY.
>> EVERYBODY SURVIVED.
>> Tati: BETH HAS PLAYED AN
IMPORTANT ROLE AS WE'VE SEEN IN
THE STORY DEVELOPMENT REGARDING
THE PEARSONS FROM SEASON 1 INTO
SEASON 2, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CHARACTER.
BUT WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT
PLAYING THIS CHARACTER?
>> I LOVE HER HONESTY, HER
WILLINGNESS TO KIND OF GO ALONG
WITH CHANGE.
I LOVE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY --
FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES,
THEY COULD HAVE LIVED A QUIET
LIFE IN THEIR OWN FORM OF
PERFECTION, BUT SHE DOESN'T MIND
SHAKING THINGS UP AND KIND OF
I MEAN?
I LOVE THAT ABOUT HER.
I THINK SHE ALWAYS SEES THINGS
WITH FRESH EYES AND IS VERY OPEN
LIKE PLAYING.
>> Tati: BETH IS VERY OPEN AND
NOT AFRAID TO GET HER HANDS
DIRTY.
SHE GOT IN THERE WITH TAKING
CARE OF RANDALL'S FATHER,
WELCOMING A FOSTER CHILD.
>> YEP, YEP.
AND ALL THESE LITTLE LIFE
CHANGES, AND SHE SEEMS TO BE
DOWN WITH IT.
THE FOSTER CHILD WAS EVEN HER
IDEA AND HER WAY OF PAYING
TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM IN THE SAME
WAY THAT RANDALL WANTED TO PAY
TRIBUTE TO HIS FATHER, SHE ALSO
WANTED TO PAY TRIBUTE TO
SOMEBODY WHO HAD A HUGE EFFECT
ON HER LIFE AND THAT'S THE BEST
WAY SHE COULD THINK TO DO IT.
IT'S AN INTERESTING DYNAMIC AND
AN INTERESTING TURN FOR THE SHOW
TO GO IN, AND IT'S EXCITING TO
NOT KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
NEXT AND KEEP EXPLORING AND SORT
OF NOT BE AFRAID OF THE
REALITIES OF WHAT IT IS TO TAKE
IN A FOSTER CHILD WHOSE BEEN
THROUGH A LOT.
>> Jason: I'VE BEEN THROUGH LOT
AFTER GETTING PUSHED OFF THE
BALCONY BY TATI, BECAUSE SHE WAS
SO EXCITED, "GET OUT!"
AND WHAT IS IT LIKE TO DO THIS
DIALOGUE THAT IS SO RIVETING AND
ACT OUT THE SCENES WITH THIS
FAMILY, AND DO YOU TAKE WORK
HOME WITH YOU?
AND DOES YOUR LIFE AT HOME SEEM
MUNDANE BY CONTRAST BECAUSE YOU
CAN'T POSSIBLY BE SPEAKING IN
CREDITED LINES ALL THE TIME?
>> YEAH, I DO TAKE IT HOME
BECAUS I HAVE TO LEARN IT.
SHOW.
WHATEVER WE EXPERIENCE, K -- WE
CAN LEAVE IT BEHIND ONSET.
YOU GET TO EXPLORE IT WHATEVER
DIRECTORS WE HAVE, WHATEVE TIME
WE HAVE WITH OUR SCENE PARTNER.
I' MOSTLY WITH STERLING.
AND WE GET A CHANCE TO LET IT GO
WHILE WE'RE HERE.
AND SO THAT WE CAN WALK AWAY AND
SAY, OH, THAT'S DONE, AND NOW
IT'S ON TO THE NEXT SCENE.
AND WE'RE NOT.
WE JUST START FIRES AND PUSH
PEOPLE OFF BALCONIES.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Jason: WELL PLAYED.
>> THAT'S WHAT I HEARD HOW YOU
DO IT IN THE D.
>> Tati: AND YOU'RE CELEBRATED
FOR WEARING YOUR NATURAL HAIR
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WAS
IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> IT WAS.
IT WAS MY SHOUT-OUT TO BLACK
WOMEN, TO THE BEAUTY THAT IS US.
YOU KNOW, THE VARIOUS SHADES AND
CULTURES AND BACKGROUND OF US,
AND FOR SO LONG, IN ORDER TO
SORT OF HAVE A PLACE IN NETWORK
TV OR IN TELEVISION, FILM, AND
ALL THIS KIND OF STUFF, THERE'S
A CERTAIN TYPE OF ASIMULATION
THAT HAD TO HAPPEN.
SO I'M THANKFUL THAT WE'RE IN
THE DAY AND TIME THAT I CAN COME
ON TO A SHOW LIKE THIS AND THE
NETWORK EXECUTIVES SAY, THAT
LOOKS REALLY GOOD ON YOU, AND
NOBODY BATTED AN EYE.
THAT'S HOW I SHOWED UP.
AND NOBODY SAID ANYTHING, SO I'M
JUST GONNA KEEP DOING IT.
SO I KEPT CHANGING MY HAIR
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO IN
LIFE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE
NATURAL HAIR, BECAUSE YOU HAVE
TO FIND THINGS TO DO WITH IT,
AND THAT'S WHY YOU DID IT
BECAUSE YOU WANT TO EXPLORE WHAT
YOUR HAIR DOES.
SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT MY NATURAL
HAIR DID UNTIL FOUR YEARS AGO.
>> Jason: WE'RE TOLD WE'RE OUT
OF TIME.
DAY.
>> THAT'S OKAY.
WE TALKED ABOUT HAIR AND DIDN'T
EVEN GET NO PRODUCTS.
>> Tati: I COULD TALK TO YOU ALL
DAY.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US ON
"LIVE IN THE D."
I WILL BE WATCHING TOMORROW
NIGHT, FOR SURE.
>> Tati: SO MAKE SURE YOU WATCH
