hands down and that completes the
proof's questionnaire
thank god okay all right
were there questions that you found
really difficult to answer there
yeah obviously yeah it's weird like i
just some of them i've just never
thought of like i mean the virtue one i
don't know
i've got a pass and then the historical
figure jane goodall it feels so wrong
because i
i mean i just admire her so maybe that's
i should have used her as my
person that i admire my living person
that i admire i got to
camp with her uh in the congo
with her chimps and we just like popped
up tents
and we made a fire and then we drank
whiskey all night and
she just she just told me stories till
like three in the morning and it was
really really
special given the opportunity would you
want to play her in a biopic
no god no i'm sure there's tons of
better
people who could do that but she's a
magical human
she's one of those people that you meet
and you just go wow why is
summer your perfect idea of happiness i
think because i'm the happiest
when it's when i'm in a warm climate
like i just think in general i
might have sads disease but i definitely
am affected by like we had a beautiful
day here this morning and now it's gray
and i can feel like my mood is like
changing
i think my overall machine works
just on a happier note when i'm in a
warm climate and there's sunshine
you didn't like the wording of this
question where i asked which living
person do you most
despise wow that's such a strong
wording you said george zimmerman
i do not like that guy and i don't like
how he's conducted himself
after what happened to trayvon martin
and i i just find
i find him i do i find
everything about him despicable that
whole event so tragic
and for him to kind of just uh have no
regard
or respect or just remorse it's just
it's this very very hard for me very
hard for me
i struggle with him a lot for the
question who is your hero of fiction you
didn't have an answer
i honestly don't think i have one i
didn't han solo
can i go back and answer that i don't
know
yeah let's go with him when i asked how
would you like to die you said my sleep
i think
have you not contemplated the best way
to die
i i don't think i've contemplated it in
those terms like the best way to die
i mean i think in general the best way
would probably just be not knowing
and fast like quick like just
getting it out of the way has anybody
said slow and torturous
yes i figured i figured i mean i don't
want to assume
but i figured which of your dogs would
you come back as
any single one of them because my god do
they have a good life
and uh there are many days that i walk
through my house going like i wish i was
you right now
just lying on that bed you know they get
delicious meals i spoil them rotten
they sleep on my white sheets yes i have
many times looked at them and thought
what a good
life this is this would be a good good
way
to go through life i could do this
you said to when and where you were
happiest
last summer uh
on vacation with my tribe
where were you on vacation what made it
so special
um we traveled um through a bit of
um croatia which was just
uh magical i'm using the word magical a
lot
i'm sounding like a real royal
everything is so magical but it was it
was with
um a couple of families and tons of kids
and people who i just really love and
kind of consider my
adopted family and yeah you just can't
take stuff like that for granted to be
able to do something like that and to
share that with other people who you
love
and oh yeah i've been thinking a lot
about that vacation during quarantine
when i asked what is your greatest fear
you said it's so
great i don't want to say it out loud
can you elaborate
it has to do with yeah my children for
sure
that's all i will say because it's just
too dark of a thought to even think
about
but that would be my greatest fear yes
for most overrated virtue you passed
yeah well i don't really know
how to answer that what would your
answer be
um i would probably crib mine from
stephen colbert and say
chastity
oh that's amazing yes oh yes i
as a woman i would agree yes no for sure
oh my god that's did he say that i love
him
do you think that these questions from
proust
have revealed something about your inner
self that maybe
the phrase i overuse this magic word or
phrase is magical
like maybe i didn't know that so that
was eye opening thank you
it takes a french man to sometimes point
out things you don't know about yourself
is he french he is french he sounds
french
yes okay marcel proust
yeah that's french all the way
