To start, I just want to know how you’re feeling! How are you?
How am I feeling? I’m feeling good today! I think it’s just about taking the rough with the smooth. It’s an extraordinary change in my life and one that I feel very, very grateful for. There are little moments of feeling like: I’m not in control of any of this, but I’m trying to just let it happen. But it’s in those moments, I feel even more grateful for the people that I have around me, because that’s what matters most, you know? My friends and my family, they’ve been such rocks during all of this. They’ve really been brilliant. I’m not complaining. It’s been amazing.
What have you done since you’ve had this catapult moment to ground yourself, and find stability in the whirlwind of it all?
I think I’ve tried not to be too critical of myself; it’s been very helpful. Allowing myself to make mistakes and not trying to negotiate it perfectly has been helpful. And whenever I get overwhelmed, also just calling people all the time. I’m leaning on very close friends who are very important, and I find myself only wanting to hang out with very few people. But also through this kind of craziness, I’ve made some wonderful new friends. I was on holiday in Italy recently with some new people who are just wonderful and great, and that was a real treat. This life can really introduce you to some amazing people and experiences.
What do you think it is about your character [Eddie] that’s resonated with so many people?
