0:21
the Campbell law group I want to thank everyone for joining us this is episode two of season one and i have the
0:26
absolute pleasure of presenting to you and having come visit us today Hollywood
0:32
actor I’m supposed I’m told to call you actor not actress assisting assistant director assistant
0:39
director producer uh entrepreneur and activist Cindy Luna, Cindy welcome, thank
0:44
you thank you for that introduction like expectations are super high now
0:49
no pressure no pressure no pressure at all so i want to ask you so i saw your resume it's very impressive i checked
0:56
out the imdb and it looks like some of your work includes the last ship
1:01
uh Once Upon a Time yeah still one of my favorites yeah there we go we got that answer done
1:08
Still the King, yeah, Castle, NCIS
1:14
right and a whole bunch more yes you've been really busy I have I have I feel like the past five
1:20
years have been non-stop before pandemic and um yeah every show has had their
1:27
its own flavor its own lessons growth and opportunities that have led to other
1:34
opportunities so i just feel really blessed and excited for what's to come next very very important and it must be
1:40
exciting to play different roles right so you get to bring out different aspects of your abilities as an actor
1:45
and also jump into those roles i assume that must be really interesting it's really interesting and um i think as you
1:52
grow as well you know this as a woman um the opportunity to
1:57
play these roles in in different ways and um for example i started with
2:03
in Hollywood I started with a role that was just a younger girl um
2:08
the uh the daughter of a drug dealer
2:14
that was like my first role that was for a gang related for fox and um she was young and she was um
2:20
tough and then as I started growing it's interesting you start getting cast for different roles that are much more
2:27
mature and the latest one was a detective so that one was I think um
2:35
where I was like the most mature and ready to take on a role like that interesting I love that I love the fact
2:40
that you showed like you can explain how the maturity and the growth but as a woman and as an actress
2:45
you know it grows with time and you learn yeah it must be really interesting to also be on the other side of the camera i assume also absolutely i think
2:53
I mean I’ve though I just assisted assistant directed for a sitcom
2:58
um and it was really cool comedy is something that I love I
3:04
I have a lot of respect for it you know it takes a lot of work um you I think it takes a very brilliant
3:11
actor to do so I have a lot of respect for it but being behind the scenes and able to see everything happening and how
3:18
it came together right before you it's kind of like a modern family for Latinos yeah in English like a Chicano family so
3:25
it was really cool to do and being behind the camera was amazing because I
3:32
got to implement everything that I’ve learned and bring it to the actor in a simple
3:38
way right so just because and I was thinking about this this morning just because I i had
3:43
to learn all of this and it took me so long to figure it out and learn that doesn’t
3:49
mean that I’m not going to give it to an actor that's starting out in front of me in a simple way I think that helped him
3:57
that helps that helped a lot for me to direct that way sounds like that would have been helpful for you when you first started
4:03
right if someone would have explained it in that manner yes but for some reason
4:08
and I had those kind I had that kind of heap I had a director that did that for me and she really shifted
4:16
my way of thinking and my way of performing um but I feel like a lot of people have
4:22
that thing like if I went through it you have to go through it like I paid the dues you got to pay the dues and that's
4:28
not I don't see it though especially with women I think that we can support each other I had a lot of women in this
4:34
experience as directing as assistant directing and I just wanted to give them if I could just give you a shortcut I
4:42
would and I tried and i think we accomplished a lot of what we needed for the show and that's important it's a
4:48
win-win when for the on the director's side because you're adding value and then one for the actors that they grew up they grow into their role and they do
4:54
a better job and it's a better sitcom overall sounds amazing I love that adding value yeah absolutely absolutely
5:00
I think it's so important to add value in anything that you do monitoring your career and your personal life so it's
5:06
I’m really glad to hear you say that it's awesome I love that absolutely exciting
5:11
so um I wanted to also ask you I think we already talked about basically what's your favorite aspect of directing you
5:17
know yeah that and when you were just saying that um Denzel Washington says that we're in the business of service
5:24
um actors directors producers writers and lawyers and you know when we
5:31
have we know we recognize we have a gift and we use it to serve others I think it changes our whole perspective and every
5:39
day is like wait I’m not doing this for me I’m not doing this to feed my ego I’m doing this
5:44
to serve others and it changes everything so every time I would walk
5:50
into set first of all it felt so good to not have to have makeup on you know like
5:55
I was just like relaxed and this is just really me there's there's nothing else like yes all I have to offer right now
6:03
it's me it's my talent it's the knowledge and it's what I’ve learned in my experience it was really interesting
6:09
because I wasn't in front of the camera playing a character with the hair with the makeup with the clothes it was just
6:15
raw me yeah no makeup casual and saying okay this is what I have to offer you
6:22
and I want to serve you and if I have to pick up a bottle and if I have to help you guys
6:27
clean up so that we move faster whatever it is it's for the good of the project and it has
6:34
absolutely nothing to do with me but it's like a teamwork and I want to serve you and I want you to look good and I
6:39
want you to look good and I want to help here so it was really really cool to do
6:45
as an actor you're in front of the camera you're doing your work and you're staying in your lane as a character too
6:52
that's who that's a very good point because when you have to stay in character there's not a lot of socializing you can do because you're
6:59
like okay you're worried about having to cry in the next scene and you have like all these things going on in your
7:05
mind but when you're directing you're so involved with everyone you're seeing the
7:11
big picture yes yes that's exactly that's exactly it sounds like fun yeah I don't know if I’d be good at it but it sounds like fun
7:17
I think you do a little bit of that too yeah you work well you do actually in the courtroom there is some I actually
7:23
had someone say that to me one time and I I was kind of like someone said to me uh they asked me to
7:28
do like a little skit for them they were directing a small thing and they were an amateur sort of film uh film director
7:33
and they needed a lawyer and I said well you know I’ll be more than glad to help you but I’ve never never done acting and
7:40
she smiled at me she goes yes you have you're a lawyer and I was like yes so yes you know later we'll speak
7:47
about it maybe she had a bad experience with it with a lawyer but I was like well you know
7:52
I believe we all do a little bit of acting every day in our lives because
7:58
that's the thing when we start a scene when I look at a scene I’m like okay what is the objective of the scene and
8:04
what do I want and what do I have to do to get it we do that in our daily lives absolutely you do that in the courtroom
8:09
and when you close your closing statements and all that every time I see in a movie or a show like this is the
8:16
closing statement this is going to be the best part of the scene and the lawyer is like
8:22
my client yeah and it's like it's not acting as in like you're pretending but you're really
8:27
I’m advocating and I’m and I am and I am I am saying I’m telling you a story this
8:33
is this story of this case this is the story of what my client has done what they haven't done they're not being
8:38
accused of this let me remind you of the evidence let me remind you of what we've heard today it's my last chance to reach
8:44
a jury or a judge in most cases for a trial or final hearing so let me hit home on this
8:50
so you're right in that respect we are because we are directing like an opening a direct across a closing and it's all
8:57
about preparation of how you're going to present this evidence you know and advocating for a client I always try to
9:03
bring out my clients personalities if I can so that people can connect with them this is a human being you know this is
9:09
what they've been through they're a business owner uh you know they struggle every night they don't sleep at night trying to work hard this is what's going
9:15
on this is why maybe this mistake might have been made but this was not intentional and I bring out the humidity
9:20
if I can so yeah there is something and that's amazing that you do that because that connects you to the person in a
9:26
whole different level because we've all made mistakes we are all flawed in in our own ways and you trying
9:33
to say like this is we're talking about a human being here that maybe deserves a second chance or maybe didn't actually
9:40
do this or deserves an opportunity to have this and that's amazing yes yes and
9:47
a lot of times it helps people connect to really what happened let's assume not automatically acrimonious and everyone's
9:52
evil and they did this bad you'd be surprised how many times uh juries
9:57
judges opposing council opposing party they misunderstood cues and motives or discussions they
10:04
presume so many things so when you bring out the personality in somebody or what's going on that person the way they
10:09
thought or and just show them the humanity they have a lot of times that actually helps resolve cases because they'll say oh
10:17
maybe she didn't do it maybe she wasn't no tan mala she's not that bad she didn't do it like that she's evil you know what
10:22
I mean yeah so uh it helps it does help and it's yeah and it's you know it's uh
10:27
yeah you're absolutely right I guess I am directing in some ways yes you are and I admire what you do so much you're
10:33
constantly advocating and serving people and that's amazing it is and it
10:39
can be hard because some people I say uh I don't always try to I’m not always trying to just protect you from the
10:44
other side I’m actually sometimes protecting you from yourself and some people don't like don't you don't want to be told
10:50
no that wasn't right you know but it is it is it's uh I enjoy it I’ve always been passionate about being a
10:56
lawyer it's not easy but it's you know nothing nothing that's worth it is easy I was about to say that
11:03
because a lot of people are like why didn't you pick that career it's so difficult and I’m like well
11:10
first of all I did not pick it I feel like it picked me and second of all I
11:15
don't think I want to live my life just comfortable all the time there's got to be a challenge and
11:21
if it comes too easy I I question it yes usually I question the things that are too easy and it tastes so much
11:30
better when you know you've worked hard for it and you know it cost you something it was sacrificed
11:36
um I was I was listening to my friend yesterday talking about how
11:41
if you go to um if you see a lot of food on the table um and we name things like joy happiness
11:50
luxury this but then you have a plate of sacrifice a banquet and you have
11:56
a plate of sacrifice no one's going to pick that's going to pick it no one's going to pick the plate of sacrifice
12:03
but in reality someone you should pick first yes because that brings so much growth it
12:10
really humbles you it really what you do is to um connect with the person to see their
12:16
humanity if you have never been through sacrifice if you have never been through challenges in life how can you see
12:22
that in a person how can you have the compassion to connect to the humanity of that person and helping others see it as
12:30
well to determine their destiny because what you're doing in court is you're determining the person's destiny that
12:37
can change their lives forever you know I really can really can yeah so I love
12:42
this I love this conversation I’m so excited about all this I hope everyone's enjoying this so you know
12:49
speaking of sacrifice and and difficulty it seems like you also
12:54
uh you're colombiana right yes okay my parents are Colombian I was born in Miami then we started going back and
13:01
forth and uh yeah no now we're I’m in a light actually but my parents are my
13:06
mom's here in Miami and my dad's in Colombia still okay okay nice i love that
13:12
because we were talking about sacrifice and giving back and it's my understanding you have a Colombian line
13:17
of jewelry with called you know with love by Cindy yes and tell me a little bit about it that
13:22
recently started because um it happened because of the pandemic and
13:28
I wanted to create something that I could help women around the world
13:34
that could bring them business and also as well to help end human trafficking
13:41
I met two women that have really changed my perspective and actually life um
13:47
one of my pastors Sharon Nye she has an organization called justice speaks and I met Rosie Orozco she was a congresswoman
13:55
in Mexico and she has an organization as well and she rescues children from sex
14:00
trafficking and puts them in a shelter but it's actually not just a shelter but it's also
14:07
restoration so they'll have them until they're 18. um and it's amazing the work that
14:13
they're doing and I it brought so much awareness because I didn't know this was actually happening yeah um I
14:20
I heard it and I heard it and I heard about sex trafficking uh child trafficking human trafficking but I
14:27
wasn't aware until they started showing me the numbers those they started telling me the stories
14:33
and this is it became really real it was like this is actually the largest form of
14:39
slavery in our history period and it's happening right now in front of our eyes and very few people are talking about it
14:46
so um I was like well jewelry when you get a piece of jewelry someone
14:52
gives you a piece of jewelry it's actually like adding value and virtue to the person and you wear it with either
14:58
pride or you wear it with like confidence enjoyment or it's a part of your style exactly
15:03
exactly yeah defines you a little bit it's like what you enjoy mm-hmm yeah and so it's something happened so I was like
15:09
okay I want pieces that are different I want something that is brought and made
15:14
with love and something that is accessible and something that will give back and so 10 of everything that we
15:21
sell with that brand it's going back to organizations so these two women that I know that I know their work that I trust
15:28
um I’ve met the children through zoom so all of these things so I’ve trusted and was like okay ten percent of
15:34
everything here is going to go back to them and also we're also helping young designers I have a young designer in
15:41
Colombia that makes the pieces and another factory so it's pretty cool
15:46
it's like a it's a gift that keeps on giving it's moving it's moving forward slowly
15:52
because I have so much going on as well so I’m like okay let's figure out
15:57
balance here but yeah the intention is there and the love is there and I know that god is going to take that to
16:03
another level and do what he has to do with it I just felt like I needed to get it started again and then
16:10
let him do what he needs to do I agree and that's and that's how it starts uh something tells you inside this is it
16:15
directs you help somebody in this manner or maybe start this and you'll and you're kind of being
16:22
you know you're part of god's sort of plan to help and unfortunately human trafficking is
16:28
very prevalent I you know i honestly did not even understand to the extent until now I have a 16 year old daughter
16:35
that I am frightened because she'll sit on a corner texting not looking at her surroundings understanding there are
16:41
actually girls in various neighborhoods all over the united states you know that are just
16:46
picked up off corners and bands often and you know tricked a drugged you know whatever it might be it's actually very
16:52
very sad so I’m so glad that you're taking an interest in human trafficking I sometimes follow some of the other
16:58
organizations that do it I know Tim Tebow also has yes and his wife she went through an experience that
17:05
was close to maybe wow I didn't know yeah she had she had an experience that really changed her life and I think
17:12
that's why she's so passionate about it yes it's very sad and very uh very disrupting and very difficult so it's
17:18
important that our that organization also understanding family law and what goes on with children and sometimes domestic
17:24
violence situations a little bit different but in general the psychological effect on children of abuse sexual or physical is so
17:30
significant especially in the years of development that's important that we're not only obviously rescuing is the most
17:36
important thing but also helping to put the pieces back together again I love that I love that so you'll have
17:41
to give us the name of the organization I think it is yeah um and it's uh
17:48
versus well she has she has a book called blank page and I think it's versus stratus
17:54
she has like a couple so um we could maybe link it to your if you can't Instagram and yeah of course those two
18:01
and the other one is justice speaks justice space yes they're more focused than Thailand in the red district
18:08
yes of course yes yeah goodness yeah the red light district red light district yes okay
18:13
so wonderful love to hear that that's giving back that's where we're talking about that humanity yeah well we feel
18:18
like we um for me it's all giving back and also like um I just feel like we I have a
18:24
responsibility yeah as a woman and once I’m aware I feel like I have to do
18:30
something about it you know I think we all do we have to I mean I I you know it's a community that raises our
18:36
children and we help each other out and I think once we have any kind of ability even if it's just spreading the word if we can't do anything we may not be able
18:42
to physically save somebody but if we can spread the word or make other children aware or their parents aware of
18:47
these things try to stop it I know there's hand signs and stuff like that for children to learn that they've been
18:53
taken or they're being abused that they can do you know so that you can let another third party a police officer
18:58
someone know it takes all of us it takes all of us you know yeah and now you said that they
19:04
designed the signs and all that that's something I wouldn't be able to do so I get to do my part right you get to do
19:10
your part everyone gets to do their part in their own way with the gifts that were given to them yes and I think it's
19:16
so beautiful thank you so much we're going to get the name and make sure we put it up thank you yes yes
19:22
yes yes and hopefully we can help like we'll do our best as always yes um
19:28
so you're an extremely accomplished woman clearly very passionate very uh you know
19:33
understanding of humanity you like you've indicated you still remain a sense of humility and understanding
19:39
you know your role in life and also just you know you're blessed by everything you've been
19:45
given but the same time you want to give back so I want to ask you who is the person that's most influenced you in
19:50
your life um there are so many people that have
19:57
influenced my life um and in different seasons yeah I’ve had different seasons in life that
20:04
have really changed me and transformed me and
20:09
certain people have been put in those seasons to influence me in a very positive way
20:15
I think my family my friends and to be general right but
20:21
the and I don't want to get religious but once I started reading about the actual
20:27
person of Jesus Christ how he walked on earth how he
20:32
talked to people um it's so different to the kind of religion that that we're seeing
20:39
nowadays where it's very like I’ll I’ll slap you with the bible oh yeah and like hit you with the bible in the head very
20:45
strict levels is what you mean like just very it has to be this way yes but you can't put god in a box and you can't put
20:51
god in a religious box but um the person of Jesus Christ was always
20:57
willing was always when I when I read it like a script right because as an actor I
21:02
analyzed the script and I analyzed the character so I started analyzing the character of Jesus Christ and how he
21:08
walked on earth and I was like this is going to be the most important the most important role I’ll play in my life when
21:14
I’m off when I’m not playing any other role maybe I should play the role of Jesus Christ even though I’m so not like
21:22
him but I can only strive I can only try to be like him so like his
21:27
teachings this person of Jesus Christ has brought everyone else in my life
21:32
I think because of that I’ve attracted the kind of people that I’ve attracted in my life um and I know some religious people will
21:39
say that new age the attraction but it is like but it's not Eugene but
21:44
it's uh it's if I’m focused on Jesus Christ then everything else that
21:50
is added onto me will be around that the same values the same
21:55
core values the same um the same heart the same passion all of that so yeah
22:01
he he's just amazing I encourage people to actually
22:07
leaving the whole religious thing aside and going to the word and really like do
22:13
your own research of who Jesus was and why are we still talking about him 2000 and something years later why are we
22:21
some before Christ and then after Christ why is that there has to be a reason right so for me that really really
22:29
transformed me and I get more passionate about that topic than anything else because
22:35
when I hear you say you're a very accomplished woman honestly I don't feel like that I feel like I haven't even
22:40
arrived I haven't I haven't I’m not even halfway there yet and the reason why
22:45
it's because he did he showed that he didn't that he did this to serve people I don't think
22:52
if you sit in an interview with him I don't think he'll say I’m accomplished is I did this for love and it was
22:58
sacrifice and it was love and he was always willing to heal people he was always willing to uh help people and all
23:04
of that so without any expectation or anything in return he did it out of his own heart
23:09
yeah yes and so what church do you go to or what what's your I mean uh
23:15
I guess yeah I go to different churches but I don't like focus so much on one place it
23:21
depends on where I am and I always go to like just be in one accord what we say in one
23:27
accord and worship and prayer and all that but then I do feel like we are the church yeah we're the church
23:33
we walk it out right so um what I do is I have mentors I have like a couple of mentors my pastors uh um have that so
23:41
here in Miami I usually go to Vue okay food church um in la I have a church
23:47
that I go to that is radiant but I also receive from different people online I received from elevation from steven
23:52
Furtick I received from mosaic Erwin McNamar who is amazing he does he's a little bit
23:58
more for the intellect so people that are a little bit more like intellect he's amazing td jake's is uh also bishop
24:06
td jake's online so there's so many resources out there there's so much out there that
24:12
and yours should help and your suggestion is that people experience it for themselves oh well they
24:19
100 because there's so much noise right now there's so much stuff happen so many
24:26
opinions so many things that we should go to god straight and say hey can you reveal yourself to me who you really are
24:33
because I am a little bit confused about the people that are talking about you the people who are against you like can
24:39
you reveal who you really are to me please because I want to get to know you I want to walk with you and I want to
24:45
get to know who Jesus is like that very interesting okay I love that I absolutely love that I was
24:51
waiting to see where that was going to be because it is different depending on its
24:57
career personal different aspects of your life so I was waiting to hear that so were you expecting that
25:03
you were like me personally yes partially yes I I just say this
25:09
in the background yes so I want to also ask you so as an actress assistant director producer
25:16
entrepreneur and um what has been your experience with lawyers during your career
25:22
I’ve had um not so much experience to be honest I my match so it's usually my manager
25:30
will I if I get an offer so let's say I get an offer for a project and I audition
25:36
for it the next step is the production or the studio or the network will make the offer
25:43
and it'll go to my agents and it'll go to my manager and my manager has a lawyer that she works with and
25:49
entertains a lawyer and so they'll talk about it and they'll look at the contract and say okay do we
25:56
need to change something in this contract according to what Cindy wants yeah she likes all of that and so we
26:02
usually have her entertainment lawyer he's the one that will look at the contract and make sure everything's in line and then if we
26:09
don't necessarily love the offer yeah he will he's the one that will start negotiating the numbers okay alongside
26:16
with my manager okay yeah but you have at least the experience that you have a lawyer that sounds like they're trying
26:22
to understand what you're looking for as well it's not just sort of a relationship that you removed from the process and it's whatever someone thinks
26:28
they're not no they're talking to you specifically about your needs your limitations your conditions potentially
26:34
you're having some guideline or outlines I assume yes and actually you know some people I know that Al Pacino
26:40
um he doesn't even have an agent or a manager I and I could be wrong
26:46
someone can whatever but the last thing I heard was he works with his entertainment lawyer he's the one that
26:52
everything's done through him so that could also be an option you know that that's how important entertainment and
26:58
entertainment lawyers are in our industry that if Al Pacino would just go straight to him
27:04
but then again it is Al Pacino so I need an agent and I need a manager Al Pacino like i have a patina
27:12
I’m a brand in of itself yes yes but yeah he um he does that and when you were
27:17
saying i was like oh yes Al Pacino he goes straight to his lawyer yeah interesting interesting but you know
27:22
that just goes to show you in general just you know it's different different things different people in different things depending on what their needs are
27:29
what their interests are what they're also their comfort level with you know the law might be or anything
27:34
else or with contracts or with acting which Al Pacino should be very familiar with yeah and you know this if it's not written
27:40
it's not going to happen correct so right before we get to set the entertainment lawyer we'll make sure
27:46
that everything is written from your trailer to like that is these are things that
27:53
people don't know um like I am alright I already know that once I
27:59
arrived on set um I already know what kind of trailer I’m going to have because it's already been
28:05
established written by the lord negotiated it's been negotiated it's already there and if
28:11
it's not there we show the contract and we're like hey guys here's a contract it is written you need to have this here
28:17
you have it and don't have it in a heartbeat okay um so these stories I hear that you have that so-and-so and I
28:22
don't want to say who because I don't know if the story is true or not so but let's say so some singer has to have
28:28
a certain type of Evian water at room temperature it can't be more than this oh wow okay sure that happens yeah
28:36
and with the music industry it's like that too yeah they'll have their
28:43
standard they're standard contracts they're already like high up there um
28:49
some not everyone some people are super simple yeah some people are like well it's just whatever water and
28:55
something uh and something to eat I don't care okay no but then there's some people that are like white flowers and
29:01
this and that that's not my case at all um I usually I haven't had those
29:07
problems actually for my last negotiation the entertainment lawyer was like I don't even think I need to
29:13
negotiate this it's a great offer um everything's great um we don't so
29:18
usually um the studios and the networks they're very fair they know they're like
29:25
here's what we have and usually what they have is great that's great that's good it sounds like they're also listening to the interest of and
29:31
they're watching out for every detail which is really important for a lawyer I think you know sometimes lawyers get into starting well
29:36
we want this and it's an ego thing I want to change this and I want this sentence to say this and yeah and unfortunately yeah they just can kind of
29:43
get in the way under the circumstances that's true and maybe we get interpreted the wrong way so yeah yes but no
29:51
luckily my manager and her lawyer they're very they're not into that
29:56
they're just into just getting the right things watching out for me just as uh for my future and that's pretty
30:02
much it if you got a great team they are yeah I've been with them for 10 years good fantastic they love it and
30:09
I’m glad to hear you having at least it sounds like a good experience I mean to the extent that they know what you need and what's best for you and it
30:14
seems to be the case because it's been 10 years and you've been able to trust them and they're doing what they need to do it's important yeah you got to let
30:20
people do what they do yeah I can't control everything because I’m like well that's your lane I
30:26
don't know about that so I’m going to trust you and then you know we just mentioned god so you know he has the
30:32
ultimate control of it all so that's true that's very true wow it's been such an awesome conversation I got to see
30:37
where I’m supposed to be here on this next cue call
30:43
you're so great by the way thank you thank you I’m so nervous as long as I look down I think I’m okay no I think
30:49
you're amazing thank you awesome Oprah Oprah Oprah Winfrey kind of uh interviewer
30:55
lawyer thank you thank you so much I’m glad because I get so nervous but you think you've been so helpful because it's very natural you're just talking to
31:01
me so I just kind of we talk and I like it I love it and I learn so many new things I love learning things about
31:07
learning things about people and i've known you for a while as well but I I’m learning new things I love it
31:12
yeah I’m learning new things about you too and admiring more because thank you we don't really get to know each other that
31:18
until we have these conversations like oh wow you're an actual badass on the court but yeah but
31:25
did that sound like on the court like basketball court no no no it sounded like you know the bad
31:31
rear end of the accord I feel bad on the basketball court though no
31:37
soccer most water sports um yeah like it's funny because people you you're when I first met you I’m
31:44
like she's the sweetest woman on earth and then I hear that you're just a badass on the court like
31:51
in the courtroom right okay now I’m understanding okay I’m going to go
31:58
back to sleep because I haven't no no no no no it's honestly i haven't slept in two weeks and a half oh goodness well
32:04
like I have you don't look like you look fantastic so thank you I haven't slept well okay in the past
32:10
like two weeks and so because I was working I was in a way then it came back and your times time changed too much time change but also like 12 hours
32:17
on set and then not sleeping in your place you know like that that just changes that throws you off yeah so
32:24
yeah so you look fantastic for the few things i've said that maybe yeah
32:29
no no you're fine you're fine are there compliments I love them don't we just love compliments
32:35
yes yes is that your love language uh do you know you know do you know the five like the five love languages no no oh so
32:42
there's a book there's a great book um I’m sorry I don't have the author's name here but you can look it up
32:48
um the five love languages to know that and so we express our love in
32:54
different ways and that's why sometimes we feel like we're not loved because maybe we're with a partner that their
33:00
way of expressing love is through words of affirmation and the way of you receiving love is through acts of
33:06
services so they're like I love you look so beautiful oh my gosh you're amazing and then and then you're like
33:13
well why aren't you cleaning my car why aren't you cooking for me why aren't you cleaning the house so there's that
33:20
miscommunication of love even in in language so learning that and us women
33:25
we just love uh words of affirmation don't we yes we do yeah generally I know
33:30
there's some women that are like oh don't tell me that just go clean my car
33:36
well I’d like it to be followed up a little bit action yes with actually
33:41
speaking and acting yes you know so uh so yes no but I agree with you we definitely love words of affirmation but
33:47
I do think actions do speak a lot of the remarks but I do think people sometimes misinterpret like you're saying
33:53
someone shows love differently and they may be doing their best and they're speaking from the top of the mountain
33:58
that I love you but you are not used to receiving love that we're understanding it that way so you don't think that they
34:04
love you but they
34:12
and then the person feels like resented and not taken care of or not appreciated yes so it's so important to go down to
34:18
different levels of drill down with so many levels so humanity humans are so complex we are so complex and but you
34:25
know what with everything that's happened last year and everything that's happening this year and all that we've learned I think it comes down to this
34:31
one thing and it's in the word of god love and I think our greatest
34:38
mission in life is to figure it out and I think that for our generations to come
34:43
we should figure out what this word love really means and how we get to really walk it out and I think it's not
34:50
so much about because nowadays we're like oh I love pizza oh my gosh I love this oh my god I love you oh my god I
34:55
love you and it's like no what is real love and how do we get to walk it out you know correct and we show a lot of
35:02
times and uh you know it can be words can be actions but we sometimes
35:07
also it's omissions it's actually sometimes by not saying something that I may mean
35:12
and understanding when someone might need just a helping hand at the time versus the pat on the back or something
35:18
different but that takes involvement that takes depth like you said love it's depth it's not just something oh that's
35:24
pretty I love this I love that it takes you have to go beyond that I agree with you I think that's the word value in
35:30
life is yeah it's not about I have this car this house I mean these things are nice I’m not saying anything about them
35:35
at all i've been an entrepreneur myself in my life right but it's at the end of the day I think
35:40
they would be hollow or meaningless unless you have something that you're loving or you're shooting for that you're doing like my kids I adore my
35:47
kids yeah you know I am told and I have to remember as a mother and as a woman to learn to love myself as well
35:55
because to love them I have to love myself but you know we're giving we're nurturing so I think it's important and I you
36:00
know I’m learning you know you learn every day of your life yeah well what I what I learned
36:06
what i've learned and I keep learning is I can't give something that I don't have that's true so if I don't have that kind
36:13
of love for myself I can't give it away so in trying to serve others and do for others I can't really do it I’m not
36:18
really doing it because I don't have it within me I’m not offering it to myself and like what god says but Jesus said
36:25
love god with all your heart all your mind and all your understanding and love yourself as you love your neighbors who love your neighbors as you love yourself
36:32
so there's those that there's that you can't love outside of that you know
36:38
that circle of love yeah no it is a triangle I guess it is and ultimately we're not alone in this
36:44
world and there's a reason for that we're not on we're not on the planet alone yeah we're together with other people and other humans and they all
36:50
have interests and loves and needs that's important to respect everybody and each other yes
36:56
yeah it's amazing so this is an amazing conversation I love it now I thank you everyone for joining our
37:02
conversation enjoying it uh so it's been a pleasure spending time
37:07
with you and hopefully one day I’m going to be so proud I’m going to look on that stage when you're on the Oscars and I’m
37:12
going to say oh amen and I I know that actress or actor I was told to call I told I was told that actress is
37:22
okay if you're on the stage you don't mind me calling you actress or actor
37:28
as long as I get something yes right but I’ll be so proud to say I know her
37:35
no and Cindy deserves it no listen to me it's like I mean that's great but
37:41
to me the people who are out there actually putting in the work
37:46
like he's advocating for others advocating for our rights doing what you do I mean for me those
37:52
are the true celebrities the true superheroes like our everyday
37:58
working people that are defending that are defending my rights did I just say that yeah um
38:05
but yeah that's the truth I’m just like I’m looking at you and hopefully I get to play a role
38:11
like you someday where I get to feel what it's like to be in the courtroom in the courtroom yeah
38:18
um doing what you do thank you thank you I’ll have to when we start going back into court more because a lot of things
38:24
are still zoomed I got to I gotta call you to come in oh my gosh yes now just don't look at me like in shock when
38:31
you know no no no i don't think actually i don't think very few things shock me now okay
38:37
okay because I’m very sweet I like very fair I know but I love it I love it I love it
38:42
it's amazing I have a side of me that's not don't you that's great yes yeah that's a that's what we call a uh
38:49
well-rounded character with an arc so like if we create like a just one tone
38:56
character which could happen it's very it's flat it falls out flat so what I
39:01
like to do with characters is create layers to them and then all of a sudden it's like whoa
39:06
what where did that come from she was like sweet here and this here that surprised us with this and that's what
39:12
is entertaining right yes so yes yeah I love it I’d love to see that thank you
39:17
I’ll let you know once we go hopefully I have a trial coming up so we'll see but you know sometimes they get settled it's usually good in the best interest of
