It's easier to shoot that scene because everyone was professional and my character was ridiculous—I did many different accents in the movie, and it was funny it was a comedy. So, shooting the scenes was the easy part—with it being out there forever and ever and ever that's more of a mental it screws with your head a little bit and you question your decisions, but I don't have any regrets.^[7]
