I know it's a bit hot,

but I've got a couple of questions.

Yeah, do it.

I want to end on.

We end on with every episode.

Yes.

These are your final five.

Okay.

They have to be answering one word to one sentence maximum,

but I will probably ignore that rule, as I always do.

Amazing.

So question number one is,

we ask these to everyone who's ever been on the show,

what is the best advice you've ever heard or received?

I'm going to cheat slightly, if you'll allow it.

Yeah.

I read Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Marie Brown.

It was given to me as a gift by my friend Anne-Marie for my 30th birthday.

And I think that being a good,

pious, Protestant English girl, I really believed that if I worked hard enough

and if I was kind of saintly enough that someone would see my good deeds and all of my hard work and,

like, give me the sticker,

you know, give me the star.

And so a kind of martyrdom was part of my,

sort of, I understood was important in my,

and I think reading her book and reading about pleasure activism,

which is sort of the idea that like,

anything that you want to sustain,

e.g. justice, e.g. you need it to be easy and you need it to be pleasurable in a way,

because that's what's going to mean that you'll be able to do it for a long time.

Part of my burnout was that I wasn't prioritizing pleasure

and joy as kind of like underpinning for even some of the harder,

more somber, cerebral things that I was doing.

And I think that changed my life.

And I think we also have a model,

particularly within activism and lots of spaces,

that like this kind of sole, individual, charismatic leader.

And I like you, you know,

my hero is always Martin Luther King and Gandhi,

and you just saw this sort of like solitary person

that was doing that and i think if i could go back and do anything differently it would be

that when i embarked on some of the public activism

that i did i wouldn't go in the way i did i would go in with what i have now

which is not just like an activist community like i have friends who can give me feedback

and who i can talk to and who i feel that i'm not doing the work alone,

solo, however heroic that might look.

Yeah, I guess heroism and martyrdom,

the way that it was looked,

maybe I just don't believe that's how we'll get the job done anymore.

Anything good will get done.

So I think that book and I think that idea,

that revolutionized my approach.

I love that.

Yeah, that's a great answer.

It's beautiful.

I want to read that book now.

Yeah, you should have her on the podcast.

Yeah, absolutely.

Question number two, what is the worst advice you've ever heard or received?

Oh, so much.

How long have you got?

God, mostly just like, I think a lot of stuff around toughen up,

bottle it up, deal with that later.

You know, just like subtle versions of like,

well, maybe tell the truth,

but just not all of it.

Just maybe like, maybe just like tell like a little bit of it,

but not like the whole thing, you know?

Because like the truth is,

the problem with like telling three quarters of the truth is that then you're sort of in this like constant

peeling and unpeeling of yourself where you sort of like,

you're sort of trying to do it,

but you're not quite doing it.

And I don't know, I think a lot of advice around that.

Also, anyone that tells you not to do what you love,

terrible advice

doing what you love will lead you where you need to go even if you can't see it at the time yeah

yeah terrible

terrible beauty tips

and advice I've been given around like I don't know just

like oh god again like back to our previous conversation all the ridiculous things

that you are encouraged to try and do as a woman like fake tan

and and i mean it's hilarious i actually right now i i it might be like well covered up

but i accidentally have a bottle of fake tan in my bathroom

and in my jet lag state last night i thought i was putting moisturizer on

but now i have like these like horrific uh fake tan marks on my legs and feet

I guess I'm just thinking about just like, oh my God.

And recently I was like,

okay, I want to get my teeth whitened.

And I looked like Ross from Friends when he'd had that awful fake tanning accident because they were just way too white.

And then I had to spend,

go back for two other visits to get the dentist to put my teeth back to my normal teeth.

So I guess I was just laughing,

thinking about like worse advice is just like don't ever listen to beauty technicians

or anyone advising you to do anything weird to your body

face appearance just just don't don't listen don't don't take the bait just don't do it

so good question number three how are you how are you now going to choose

work projects or activism differently does the person that's asking me to do something with them

can they confidently look at me and say that they care about me far more than what we're producing?

100

And do I care about them that way?

101

One of my favourite people I worked with,

102

Steve Chbosky, I remember him leaving what was a very productive rehearsal or script meeting with Logan Lerman,

103

Ezra Miller and I, and he was like,

104

I need to go and be with my wife now.

105

And we were like, I don't think I've ever heard.

106

I mean, at that point,

107

I certainly hadn't ever heard a director in my career say they needed to leave for a personal reason

108

or for a personal relationship.

109

But I worked far harder for Steve than I worked for any other director

110

because I think I was able to give a far more vulnerable performance in

111

that film because I felt that he really cared about me beyond the product of the film.

112

And I want to work with people like that,

113

for whom the process is as important as the outcome.

114

And the people that are part of it are more important than whatever the outcome is.

115

I think this is a really difficult thing that I see everywhere in the world right now,

116

is that we treat objects and things like they're sacred.

117

And we don't treat people like they're the sacred thing.

118

And that switch, yeah, I think it causes a lot of pain.

119

Emma, something that you told me when we were speaking on the phone was

120

that you've been working with the young people on helping them with some of the challenges

121

that you've faced in your own career, in your own life.

122

Yeah.

123

And I remember being so touched by that.

124

I wanted to learn more and for you to share it because I just think it's really special.

125

And I was sharing it with some of my team before you arrived and everyone was quite drawn to it.

126

So...

127

As a young person, as I basically shared over however long it's been that we've been speaking,

128

I just really needed to be having more conversations with people my own age and people that were older than me.

129

I feel like I tried to navigate so many problems on my own

130

and I just didn't know who to really speak to.

131

And I was speaking to such a narrow group of people about what I was trying to navigate

132

and I think that working with young people and giving them each other and also the space,

133

the reason, the excuses to talk about the things

134

that we don't talk about or create spaces for has been the most gratifying,

135

the most purposeful and of service I've felt in a long time

136

because it turns out pretty often that a lot of the things that we're struggling with,

137

other people are struggling with as well.

138

And so in a way,

139

going back around and trying to put out into the world a lot of the things

140

that I knew I needed as a young person and didn't get,

141

it's been the best, most,

142

the best, most gratifying thing.

143

And I feel really lucky to be in a position and in a place where I can say a no,

144

Like I've kind of done this treacherous journey and I think

145

that I might have some ideas about what might be needed for someone to come out the other side of that safely.

146

So it feels good to be of use.

147

Yeah, I love that.

148

Fifth question we ask is to every guest who's ever been on the show.

149

If you could create one law that everyone in the world had to follow,

150

what would it be?

151

Oh, wow.

152

One law.

153

Okay, there's a couple of contenders.

154

I'm gonna run you through one.

155

One is gonna be- We'll vote on them.

156

Okay, great.

157

Perfect.

158

One would be around the importance of telling the truth

159

or like speaking your truth or just because I feel like

160

so much chaos is caused by people not being sure whether or not they should or it's a good idea to or...

161

I think that would be a pretty amazing one.

162

Another contender, I mean, the obvious one is treat other people as you would like to be treated.

163

That would obviously solve a lot of problems as well.

164

I like that one you gave.

165

The last one?

166

Yeah, the first one.

167

Oh, the first one.

168

Yeah, the truth.

169

Yeah.

170

I guess it took me a long time and probably through doing my yoga teacher training,

171

speaking truth with kindness is one of the first Niyamas, right?

172

Mm-hmm.

173

Very disappointed.

174

I can't remember what the word is in… Not sattva?

175

Maybe, yeah.

176

Speaking the truth with kindness.

177

Yeah, trying to think of the sattva.

178

There's an amazing quote, which actually is given to me recently by a friend,

179

which is like, the truth without kindness is brutality,

180

and kindness without truth is manipulation.

181

Say that again.

182

Truth without kindness is brutality,

183

and kindness without truth is manipulation.

184

And so when I say,

185

tell your truth, I don't mean going around like,

186

just being awful to everyone.

187

I mean, like, telling the microscopic truth and,

188

like, having those, being willing to have a tolerance for those conversations.

189

One of my favorite metaphors,

190

I actually wrote about this recently for being in a relationship with anyone,

191

is, like, you're in, it's,

192

in a way, it's a dance, it's a fight.

193

Like, I think about boxing in the sense of,

194

like, who is going to go down to the mat with you and,

195

like, not tap out?

196

Because being honest about what's really going on is uncomfortable and it's risky.

197

As we talked about earlier,

198

you risk every time you tell the truth of maybe losing someone

199

that you love because you don't know how they're going to respond to whatever your truth is.

200

But I think to live that way creates the intimacy

201

and connection that I think we long for and also sets people free in a way,

202

you and them.

203

Truth, yeah, truth with kindness.

204

I think that's going to have to be my choice,

205

my factor of deduction.

206

Yeah, the Bhagavad Gita gives four principles for truth and kindness.

207

The first is what you speak should be truthful.

208

Yes.

209

The second is it should be beneficial to all.

210

The third is it shouldn't agitate the minds of others.

211

Wow.

212

And the fourth is it should be aligned with eternal wisdom and timeless wisdom.

213

that's beautiful and perfect because yeah i think there's truths

214

which are if they're not beneficial that do just agitate i think that's

215

and it's not about not saying it it's the idea

216

that you've thought so much about how you say it yes it's not

217

that you've sanitized it

218

because that's the modern day version the gita is not telling you to sanitize

219

or be silent right it's telling you to filter your thought to make sure

220

that the way you say it is digestible for everyone who's going to hear it.

221

And therefore it actually has transformative power.

222

It's not that it's not provocative or that it doesn't.

223

It's just that you're not saying it in a way to trigger or get a reaction.

224

You're saying it in a way that hits someone like an arrow of truth.

225

It goes, I have to change because that person has been so mindful of how they spoke.

226

Oh my God, that's incredible that's like that's everything i've just been trying to say about yeah

227

if if we god if everyone was mindful enough about how they spoke their truth

228

that it could just go straight to the heart

229

oh yeah um rather than hit the ego along the way yeah that's why we can't talk

230

because everything we say triggers someone's mind or their ego

231

and then everything we say does it back and

232

so now we're having a mind and ego debate

233

which isn't the one that goes all the way to tap you know in your we're

234

so focused on defending whatever the thing is that we feel

235

that we need to defend

236

that we just can't can't let no you can't hit the heart um

237

so good yeah

238

so good emma thank you for thank you the longest recorded

239
