Without getting too spiritual, God has done so much for me; the least I can do is drink Kiddush wine on a Friday night.
I had great luck with Tim McGraw twice in ‘Friday Night Lights’ and ‘The Kingdom.’ I love finding off-beat casting and finding someone you know in one way and you reinvent them in another way. I like doing that as a director.
I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.
Right after ‘Friday Night Lights’ ended, I was in sort of an existential crisis.
In the past I’d always felt like ‘the girl’ in the show or the movie. On ‘Friday Night Lights’ there were a bunch of girls, and I was the woman. Initially there was a little struggle with my identity around that. But now there’s a sense of ease.
I never watch anything live, I record all my programmes and have a real binge on a Friday night and watch them all.
Joe Louis was one of my closest friends…. I’m a great boxing fan. I used to go to the American Legion Stadium in Hollywood, every Friday night for 15 years. Down the aisle would come Lupe Velez, Johnny Weismuller, Mae West. All at ringside.
Something that’s interesting with season two of ‘Total Divas,’ Fandango and I’s relationship has been on the surface level, as far as WWE programming with ‘Monday Night Raw,’ ‘Main Event,’ ‘Friday Night SmackDown.’ You see us on camera and that’s about it.
