  • I mean, I think my goal is just don't gain weight.

  • Basically.

  • Really?

  • Are you Did you get obsessive about that or you're you know, but my boyfriend started cooking and everything he wants to cook is really fattening, you know, chicken tikka masala and pizza.

  • And so Yeah, but wait.

  • Now wait a minute.

  • I've always been jealous of men that could whip something up in the kitchen.

  • I could never, ever do that.

  • It is cute.

  • It is cute, but yeah.

  • I mean, I think men find a really sexy when women cook too, right?

  • Well, we're just monsters.

  • I don't know that we find it.

  • I mean, my wife cooks, but I don't know that I find it sexy as much as it's just I need to eat a lot all the time.

  • So it's just Yeah, I wish I could say you need a lot of energy, right?

  • Uh, you know, I want to ask you something, because you famously in Boogie Nights, which is one of my all time favorite movies as Rollergirl, You're on roller skates the whole time.

  • And then you just brought it back on ticktock.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah, well, there's all these really cool girls, you know, roller skating During the during the pandemic, I was getting really inspired by them because they look really hot.

  • That looks fun.

  • And I just wanted to get back out there, but it's very hard, you know, when I first learned I needed a coach because it's hard and it's very easy to just fall over and kill yourself.

  • And also, I would think you had to act on roller skates.

  • You had to you had to perform and also your on wheels the entire time, which sounds to me next to impossible.

  • You pulled it off beautifully, but I can't believe you didn't know how to roller skate when you got that role.

  • No, I mean, it was so fun.

  • And then you see these girls now they roller skate backwards and they just make it look so easy.

  • So I tried to do that and it was very hard, you know?

  • And I live in New York and it's it's not that easy to find, just like a quiet street where there's no cars, right?

  • So what you're saying is during quarantine, basically how you're getting around in Manhattan is on roller skates everywhere.

  • Only on roller skates?

  • No, but every time you hit a bump, I actually bike everywhere.

  • That's what I do.

  • I just bike everywhere.

  • But roller skates is like if you go over like a rock or there's like an uneven piece, you're just like, you know, it's so easy to just wipe out basic.
