One of my favorite things to do with an audience is Q&A.
And I'll do that later today after the show.
And since it's my last season, I'm
going to do it all the time.
So the other day I got a question from someone
in the audience.
She got choked up, and this is what happened.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Wow.
My heart is racing so fast.
And I'm shaking like a leaf.
[LAUGHS] Sorry.
If I start crying, I'm so sorry.
[NERVOUS LAUGHTER]
Don't cry.
I'm sorry.
Here, I'll stand here.
What's your question?
(CRYING) Oh, this is like the most amazing opportunity.
Sorry.
Well, I just wanted to tell you that you really inspired
me to create my own foundation.
And you inspire me to be myself every day.
But sorry.
I'm so awkward.
[NERVOUS LAUGHTER]
But I'm an actress.
And I just wanted to ask you if you
had any advice for an actress, particularly one that's
in her teenage years.
If you could have one piece of advice, what would you give.
I would say just the most important thing for anybody
in any field is just-- especially
in this business-- is be yourself because you don't want
to try to be like anybody else.
And the more unique you are, the more you're going to stand out.
And in the beginning, people might
say I don't know what to do with her, because we
don't know what that is.
But that's what sets you apart.
You have to be yourself and honor that and really, really
be authentic because people read that.
And so just be true to yourself.
And go out there and have confidence in yourself,
because if you don't have confidence in yourself,
nobody's going to give you that.
That has to come from within.
So just give yourself that confidence.
Believe.
And again, as we're all talking about,
put it out in the universe and say, this is what I will do,
not this is what I want to do, but this is what I will do.
Thank you so much.
OK.
So her name is Amber.
She's very sweet.
And then someone backstage overheard her and wanted
to share some advice as well.
Dammit.
I didn't take a beta blocker.
I cry easy.
I just wanted to say that that was so sweet.
I know that feeling.
I felt it, just like, what do I do?
What do I need to do?
And Ellen really said it beautifully,
which is just manifest it.
Just believe it to be so.
And know it.
And the confidence within you-- so actually, to manifest this,
you say, universe, thank you for this beautiful acting job.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity
to work with this cast and this crew.
I'm so grateful for this opportunity.
So almost it's as if it already exists and it's happening.
It really does-- that is how I have been taught to manifest.
And it just pretty works.
She's done all right.
You were one of the first actors that ever inspired me.
My-- (CRYING) Sorry.
I always do this.
I really need to [INAUDIBLE].
So do I. I know.
I get it from my mother.
You two together.
She's-- [NERVOUS LAUGHTER]
We would be a house of cards.
Every single Thanksgiving or any time my sister and my mom and I
would always watch reruns of Friends.
And my sister was always Monica.
I was always Rachel.
And my mom was always Phoebe, the weird one.
[LAUGHTER]
That's amazing.
But you inspire me so much.
And oh my god--
You're so sweet.
--this has been the most amazing experience ever.
You just go for it.
Go for it.
Just go for it.
Oh.
[SMACKS KISS] Good night, everybody.
Is this on?
[LAUGHTER]
Hello.
My mic is on?
Oh.
Oh god.
I don't [INAUDIBLE].
Just say good night.
Good night, everybody.
[LAUGHTER]
