00:00Pamela, after watching Last Showgirl, it's very evident to me that Hollywood has underestimated you for decades.
00:09Well, you know, having nothing to live up to is kind of a good position to be in.
00:14You can surprise anybody, even with a full sentence, you're a genius.
00:17You know, that's kind of where I'm...
00:19But no, it's timing. I just think timing and having the capacity to focus.
00:27And, I don't know, it's not just that I was... I underestimated myself, too.
00:32And I think that you've got to believe in yourself for others to believe in you.
00:38And it just came at the right time. You know, everything just came at the right time.
00:42The stars are really aligned. This feels like such a dream experience.
00:46And I watched the movie. I felt like it was a dream.
00:49Doing the movie, it felt like a dream.
00:51And now it all feels very surreal, like I'm going to wake up and this isn't really happening.
00:55And then I'll be really pissed.
00:57Because it's, you know, yeah, I don't know.
01:02I feel so blessed and fortunate that I get this opportunity and chance to kind of have this, you know,
01:09life that I thought I could have a long time ago.
01:12And just, you know, things get interrupted, life interrupted.
01:15And then, you know, here we go.
01:17Now it's here we go time, like I'm really inspired to work.
01:22And this movie was, to see it last night for the first time was really emotional, too.
01:29And doing it was emotional.
01:31So it's been a process and it's been such a journey.
01:35And I feel like it's just beginning.
