Robin on Directing Her New Show "The Girlfriend" & the Baggage We All Bring to Relationships

Drew: What do you set out to do as a Director when you are making, let's just talk about the first couple of episodes.

Robin: Well if you are talking about the template, which is a dual perspective, and we all have that in our life right? Where somebody could come in and say nothing and look at you and you go, 'She scowled at me.' And I'm sitting next to you and I'm going, 'No she wasn't, she was smiling at you with love.' So, we have our own interpretation and where does that come from? It comes from our past and are we triggered; do we perceive that it's a negative because of our past traumas?

Drew: Oh my God.
Robin: We don't have to go that deep.

Drew: No, you are just talking about my entire parenting journey, so I am so with you on what you are saying. We show up with a lot of baggage.

Robin: What parents don't?

Drew: How did you meet Henry?

Robin: It's so weird to talk about it because it's so new, you know? Anyway, it feels old in the best sense of the word. I'm 59, I'm almost 60, I'm like 'I'm done. I'm done trying to search,' and he just walked into my life and I walked in and it was like, 'Hey, there you are.'

Drew: This is the most hopeful story. It is because I very much understand the peace we make with ourselves and so when you hear things like this, it fuels the fire of our hope which I never want it to go out. You can't give up hope.

Robin: You never wanted to go out.

Drew: Never, but to be so whole with oneself is also a point I never thought I'd reach either. So somewhere between this contentedness and peace I never thought I would have. I realized that my new catchphrase is I am agnostic about love…

Robin: Wat a great line

Drew: Really?

Robin: Well you are you going to write a book about it so all of us can learn?

Drew: I just came up with it.

Robin: You should.

Robin Reveals People Still Come Up and Say "As You Wish" To Her

Drew: When we mention 'The Princess Bride' what comes to your mind?

Robin: The 'As you wish,' of course. And the fact that's what people say as the walk past you or recognize, they just go, 'As you wish.' It's the sweetest. Just the sweetest.

Drew: And Cary Elwes saying that to you, we were all melting.

Robin: I was melting big time making the movie with him.

Misty Copeland & Drew Share How Work Gave Them Structure & Discipline They Craved

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/SwRXOB4pffsN

Misty: The fact that all my siblings are successful in their own right, none of us have ended up on the street or in jail, and that's the path all of us were on. That could have happened. I was houseless for most of my childhood. We were in and out of motels and sleeping on people's couches that I didn't know and just to think that she never gave up and it was just like, 'How are we going to survive?' My house was always just filled with love. Wherever it was that we were, we had each other, all my siblings. And I just have a different appreciation.

Drew: I know what that's like to grow up where you are craving stability, you feel the burden of where and how are we going to pay for the next thing. I think because I started so young there was a little bit of a misconception, and my family was a big acting family back in the day, none of that was there. And I grew up with a single mom and she put me to work and she worked as well. Hearing what you said about how work gave you structure, discipline that did not resemble some of the fears that took place at home, I don't think I've ever had a conversation with someone who helped me just have one of the greatest epiphanies of my life because I have defended the work I've done my whole because I think people think working young can get you into so much trouble. It wasn't the work, the work gave me a life, it was me, I'm responsible for my own mistakes. Thank you for sharing that because it just healed me.
