Like, you know how when you're on set, you get like actors get treated like babies and it's so such a weird vibe. Like when I haven't worked for a while and then I go back, I'm like, this is so weird. No wonder why actors get so weird because everyone treats you like a baby, like you can't do anything. And I remember like I was just sitting in my little chair or something and I wasn't doing anything for a while. And one of the PAs came up and was like, do you need anything? And I was like, uh, sure. I'd take a coffee or something like that. and then Nick was sitting next to me like reading a book or something and he looked over and he went don't forget that you can get up and get your own coffee it's right over there and I know that sounds kind of like an asshole thing to say but I didn't take it like that I was like you're fucking right I was like I don't need that little PA over there to get to walk over there in my eyesight and pour me a cup of coffee. I'm like, because you get in that zone on set where you just turn into like a couch potato where you're like, oh. And he reminds me, it like jolted me. I was like, I'm never going to ask for coffee again, ever. And I never have. It's so true. And you never have. And anytime anyone brings you coffee, you just throw it in their face. I slap it on the bottom so it goes, not only the liquid, but the cup right on their forehead.
