- When I was a waitress, Kiefer Sutherland would come in to dine and ask “what’s your rent?” and then write that amount on the tip line of the check.What’s your favorite interaction you’ve had with a celebrity?
- Replying to @HiCaseyVHe also challenged me to a “sword fight” with baguettes on Vermont Ave at 12am and let me win
- Used to play a game we called 'Moms' which entailed driving our Cabbage Patch Kids around on our Hot Wheels and sighing to each other, "Can you please watch Annette? I have sooooo many errands to run," and then the other would begrudgingly agree while smoking a white marker cap

- Having shared a stage with @derek_del and having read reviews of the live show, I expected @InandOfItself to be magic. I did not expect to be moved, inspired, and...healed. Thank you for this reminder of who I am. I see you, too. @InandOfItself is streaming now on @Hulu
- Moved to LA in 2003. Drove a red mustang. Lived w 5 others above a maternity clinic in Echo Park, right next to the Echo. Epic rooftop. Blackberry cell. Waited tables at Figaro and Kiefer Sutherland would come in & ask “what’s your rent?” & then fill in that amount as the tip.

00:00 - Fellow white people, pick up the phone and have a conversation with your family members, white friends, etc who think that what happened to George Floyd or what Amy Cooper's actions mean isn't our problem to solve. We have to get better at acknowledging and dismantling our racism
