By the way, I'm like in this thoughtful, beautiful reverie
from the film that you directed.
Then, of course, you come out and I start looking
at your double denim and your style and...
I love your style.
This is gorgeous.
Yeah?
Yeah, of course.
I mean, you are the glamour cover girl this month.
We have a whole, like, you have broke the internet
with such looks as, well, let's see,
like, the cashmere bralette you were wearing.
It looks like you're contemplating your next move
and basically then you pause the entire world
commenting on your top.
Like, did you know that was gonna be such a thing?
No, I didn't.
And then you had this jingle ball look
that also everyone was obsessed with and contemplating.
What's the decision here?
Like, I'm so interested.
And I feel like a lot of people were debating it.
Right, yeah.
I mean, I thought it's like a corset.
And so I threw it on with jeans
and I knew I wanted to dance there
because I was going with my nephews.
So I threw my sneakers on and I thought I looked cool.
I felt cool.
I felt great.
And then, like, I woke up the next morning
and I was like, oh my gosh, I guess, I don't know.
I didn't know that that was such a thing to, I don't know.
I mean, I just, I was, I don't think about it.
I really don't.
I like to go and have fun.
The way you were talking about fashion,
it transported me right to your film,
Rare Objects, which you directed.
And there's such a poetry to this film.
It's hard for me to describe
because I feel like it's about so many things,
but what is it for you?
Why did you want to make this film in your performance?
And it is incredible.
I mean, I've been working on it for a while
and trying to figure it out, quite honestly,
because of its many themes.
And what is the most important
and what is it that I really wanted to put out there?
And I felt like it was that the female friendship
is so key and the connectivity of strangers,
how that can be very healing to people.
And also watching our main character experience
such a real trauma in her life
that we don't run from, we really show it.
But also watching her continue living
and continue trying to make her life
into something that she wants it to be.
And so ultimately, I felt like the movie,
at the end, I hope, leaves the audience with hope.
And I feel like all of the characters in this movie,
they intersect and they're open to listening
or sharing and being vulnerable.
And I feel like that was something
that I wanted to put out there
because that is a beautiful human quality
and we don't often celebrate that in life.
I think.
A clip of Rare Objects, take a look.
What's your name?
Peter, Peter Kessler.
I'm Diana.
Yes.
Let me just have a minute to think.
Of course, yes.
A scene before in the film,
you are literally wondering,
it's such a wild juxtaposition, your performance,
that it takes you aback and you're like, wait, whoa,
this is the same person.
It's just, it's incredible.
Congratulations.
Like, it is.
Well, I have to, I mean, you know I'm such a fan of yours
and everything that you've done in your career
has been like an inspiration and it gives me confidence
because it's like, oh, you, when you started producing,
it was like, oh, we can do that.
Women can do that.
We can, and so thank you.
I mean, you just, you give so much, so.
Put this couch out here because actually recently
you were in this off-Broadway play, The Wanderers,
and everybody who saw it was just in love
and your co-star and bestie is actually here, right?
Lucy Frayer.
Yes, Lucy's here.
What's up?
Okay, so Lucy, you're in Paint.
Yes.
What is Paint?
I'm trying to figure it out.
It's Owen Wilson.
Yeah.
You think he's Bob Ross.
But he's got a little more game than Bob Ross,
or at least as far as we know.
Fun fact, apparently women were really hot for Bob Ross
and did not just watch his PBS special for the art.
Well, then maybe Carl Nagel had as much game
as Bob Ross then.
Maybe it is a little more of a biopic than we thought.
I think it's like an ASMR, sexy, hot, you know, guy thing.
But is it true that you think
that you would be a good food critic?
Oh, I would love it.
Yes, I do think so.
Well, will you be a food critic with us?
All right, let's go.
