- I'm just curious. - Well, growing up in the city is so much different than growing up in, you know, a small town or anything.

- I was exposed to so much at such a young age, but I didn't, I played pretend a lot, like I... - You had a good imagination.

I had a really big imagination, yeah.

I mean, I sang at the opera from when I was a kid and I loved writing in my diary. In fact, I was just home and I found all these old diaries that I had had when I was a kid and my imagination was amazing.

- I mean, I was I was married to Prince Harry in these diaries and... - That sounds crazy. You...

- I'm just diagnosing you as I speak to. - Thank you.

- No, but as a kid, you believed that you were married to Prince Harry, sort of like... - No, no, no. I just had this alternative life and all these imaginary friends where I was a princess and yeah.

Yeah, that's okay. I think a lot of... it's funny because I have a daughter who talks about wanting to be a princess, but the specific... specificity of saying Prince Harry, I'm going to... I'm with Prince Harry.

Well, I like a ginger.

I do. And he was always the younger one and he's the bad boy.

- Yeah, well, we are the bad guys, you know. That was always my role in high school, I was the bad guy, - I know you are.

Just last night, I actually had a dream that I was married to Prince Harry and Kate Middleton and I were best friends and...

Wait a minute. Really?

- You're kidding. - Totally.

So it was this pretty Chase was vivid, vivid.

Did it get a little raunchy?

I woke up pumping my stuffed animal that happened.

You Really?

Okay.

That's that's that's cool.

Uh Mhm.

I am just that just that just wiped my brain clean.

I don't know where to go, just picturing all kinds of stuff now.

What kind of stuffed animal is it?

Is it an elmo?

Is it because you said you like a ginger?

So it's a good polar bear?

Polar bear.

Fantastic.

Okay.

Um We need a commercial break here.

I can't I need oxygen.

Um Let me ask you something very quickly because we're going to a commercial break, but I want to ask you about shameless.

You do all kinds of this is a show where you guys, you you push the envelope a little bit on this show and it's very racy show really spilled over into my life because now I'm having all sorts of vivid dreams about royalty.

This is not good.

Yeah.

You know, you're molesting bears and polar bears, but on the show shameless there's there's a lot of you know, sex and drugs and drinking.

Do you ever worry that you're going too far?

You guys on the set ever think I think this time we've gone too far.

There was only one time when I thought that we were doing a scene where it's a flashback and the woman who plays my character's grandmother, it's her, it's the scene about how she dies and basically she overdoses doing blow and we had this 93 year old actress there who was you know, a day player And she came in and she had to do this line of blow and then fake an overdose and it was actually her birthday, she was turning 93 on that day.

So you brought a 93 year old woman in and said we need you to pretend and obviously it's not real cocaine.

No it's baby laxative actually it's like powdered baby laxative so that sounds more dangerous than Yes, that sounds more lethal to me.

I think if you gave a 93 year old woman cocaine before you give her baby laxatives clearly had never done it before because she was exhaling So we had to I felt I thought the moment I thought were really going to hell is when we had to teach her how to do it, you taught this 93 year old and now she's helplessly addicted to baby laxative, terrific.
