00:00Hi, everybody, how are you?
00:01Good, how are you?
00:02Good, congratulations tonight.
00:03So our question is, you know, the big quote in Hollywood right now is,
00:06take your broken heart and turn it into art.
00:08Has there been one creative project that you've really, like, channeled,
00:11or has there been something in your life that you've really channeled to a creative project,
00:14and was that The Handmaid's Tale?
00:16Gosh, that's such a great question.
00:19You know, I think, yes, when I think about it,
00:22The Handmaid's Tale probably is the best example of that.
00:25I think that we are taking a lot of people's broken hearts
00:28and trying to heal them with this project.
00:30And I'm just so happy that everyone is watching it.
00:32I love that.
00:33So how do you get a little bit of self-care into your life?
00:36Self-care?
00:36Yes.
00:38Well, you know, you wake up in the morning,
00:41and you have your wife make you some breakfast.
00:44No, I'm kidding.
00:45I mean, that's real.
00:47No, no, no.
00:47I think especially before an event like this, you have to take time and breathe.
00:52You have to take time and try to center yourself
00:54and know that with all this craziness,
00:57the most important thing is where you are
00:59and are you centered and, you know, everything like that.
01:02I love it.
01:03Well, congrats again on your nomination.
01:05Enjoy tonight.
01:05Have so much fun.
01:06Good luck.
