>> Jams: NOW USHER, YOU SHARED A THROWBACK PHOTO OF YOU
HERE.
LOOK AT-- THIS IS USHER RIGHT HERE.
>> WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING.
>> James: I MEAN WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THIS.
>> FIRST OF ALL, THERE IS A REALLY IMPORTANT FACT ABOUT THIS
PHOTO.
YOU LOOK AT MY BROTHER.
THAT IS JAY, RIGHT, SO MY MOTHER WOULD ONLY PUT US IN SHORTS AS
KIDS.
THIS IS LIKE THE THING.
SHE PUT HIM IN A SAILOR'S OUTFIT.
>> James: I KNOW, SHE SOLD YOUR BROTHER OUT ON THIS ONEMENT
SHE REALLY DID.
>> SHE WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO WEAR FULL PANTS UNTIL LIKE SIX YEARS
OLD.
SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER WORN SLACKS IN A PHOTO.
AND LOOK AT HOW I AM HOLDING MY JACKET.
LIKE LOOK, I MADE IT.
>> James: NOW YOU BOTH-- YOU SAID IT WAS AROUND THIS AGE IN
THE PHOTOS THAT YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO BE A STAR.
>> YEAH, WHEN I WAS SIX OR SEVEN.
I THINK ALL KIDS HAVE THAT GREAT IMAGINATION OF WHAT THEY WANT TO
DO SITTING IN CLASS AND JOTTING AN AUTOGRAPH.
ONE DAY I WILL SIGN AN AUTOGRAPH, WHEN PERFORMING IN
THE MIRROR.
THESE THINGS WE DO.
I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, AM I.
>> James: NO, YEAH, YEAH, FOR SURE.
YEAH, BUT THAT IS THE DIRCHESZ OF THINKING THAT IS WHAT I WOULD
LIKE TO TOW TO DO TO KNOWING YOU WILL BE A STAR.
HOW DID YOU HAVE THAT MUCH CONFIDENCE.
>> WELL, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT, NO ONE ELSE WILL.
(APPLAUSE) RIGHT?
BUT IT WAS REALLY MY NANNY WHO REALLY, REALLY SPOKE ABOUT WHAT
I COULD BE.
YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.
JUST DREAM AND JUST THINK AS BIG AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
AND I DID.
>> James: WHAT ABOUT YOU, ALISON, WHEN DID YOU KNOW THAT
YOU WANTED TO BE AN ACTOR.
>> I KNEW PRETTY EARLY ON.
AND THEN MY-- I KNEW I WANTED TO PERFORM.
SO I WAS LIKE IN BALLET, IN THE CHOIR, DOING EVERYTHING I COULD
TO GET ON STAGE AND I LOVED IT I WAS LIKE MOM, YOU CAN GET PAID
FOR ACTING.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A JOB I WOULD WANT.
SO SHE WAS LIKE COOL, COOL, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA.
SO SHE GOT ME A JOB AS A BACKGROUND PERFORMER.
KNOWN AS EXTRAS BACK THEN.
BEFORE ANY RESPECT WAS OWN INTRODUCED.
AND IT INTRODUCED THE IDEA, NOW WHENEVER I SEE A GREEN ROOM THAT
IS NOT ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY GREEN, BECAUSE MY FIRST GREEN
ROOM WAS GREEN, A REALLY SORDID JIM MOREISON ON POSTER ON THE
WALL.
AND THIS SHOW DAVID CARI DS DIEB.
I WAS DOING THIS MUSEUM THING POINTING AT-- IN THE BACKGROUND.
ST A REALLY LONG DAY AND SEEMED REALLY POINTLESS.
AND I WAS LIKE THIS IS THE BEST.
AND MY MOM WAS LIKE [BLEEP] >> James: ARE YOU BORED,
RIGHT.
>> NO, THIS IS THE AMAZING,YEAH, YEAH.
