“Which I do slightly regret now. Like, I was like, oh, maybe. But then, yeah, again, I do believe that I wouldn't have the career that I had if I'd focused more on relationships and health before that.”

“Arts, which can be so many different things, like writing or painting or not just acting and being on a stage, all those things, because you might not know what your voice is or how to express yourself. And those kind of areas are so important because it can help you find your voice. And so I would say to try to encourage you to go into that, those kind of pursuits, even if it's just something you do in your bedroom with a notebook and you writing song lyrics or you're writing a diary or something, that form of creative expression can be really, really useful.”

“Oh, yeah, and I know what it's like to feel invisible, to be so lonely, isolated, to just not feel like you have anything going for you. I was just a pretty average. I mean, I was smart, I always had being smart, but average no one really looked twice or thought twice about me. And I know what it's like, but if you want to be determined and you want to change your life like you can and you don't have to stay in that situation like you can actively do things to make your life better and to make it more how you want. And I mean at the time I just had to tell myself that there was nobody around to tell me that, but to those young people out there, I just think you can, like you can actively take steps to do it. And a great thing is the creative.”

“Well, I'm still directing the movie because I've got all the technical elements to do now. So that's a big new challenge and I've directed this very empowering musical that's very, very joyful and very, it's hilarious. So I'm very proud of that. And then I think, I don't know, I still have because that vision was I won an Oscar and I haven't won one. So I'd like to do that. But then, you know, I would just like to be more of a mum who has spends that quality time with her family and is that kind of person and not so striving. But I don't know. I always have this thing in me that I'm very driven and working hard and I've just always had that. But I would like to maybe let go of that.”

“Oh God There's been so many hard moments I think probably the darkest point in my life was when I was about 13 and you know you hit puberty and you feel all these emotions and I felt unlovable, unworthy. My life wasn't going to be anything. And I was just isolated. We were living out in the bush at that point where we had snakes come crawling on the back porch and bush rats. And I was just like, it just was such a dark time. And that was probably the one of the hardest things.”

“And I think on that project it did cross the line and I felt shame that I actively went along with it. And so I guess writing it is kind of releasing the emotions I was holding on to for that. And I have no motivation. I mean, I write in the chapter. It's not about cancelling somebody. It's just about it kind of goes to show why my self-worth wasn't where it should have been. And I should have stood up for myself. And that's hard. And now the 44-year-old version of me would handle things much, much differently. And it's just, it was 10 years ago and it was hard to know what to do, even though I'm a lawyer and I made the complaints and did what I could do at the time. Act very differently.”

“And then back then I stayed in it and I did reshoots on the film because I didn't want to be seen as unprofessional. And this was before the Me Too movement. And even though I wasn't being treated great, I just, I thought, oh, well, I have to be professional. And I have to stay and finish it. And it was a complicated situation. We were both represented by the same agent at the time. There are a few things going on. And I guess I wrote it so that people, the more people talk about stuff like this, hopefully the less it happens. And then also... Just, I think I held shame because I went along with it. And it's such a fine line between what's comedy and what's playing a character and then really crossing the line into personal humiliation.”

“I can say why I wrote it and purely why it's redacted is because it's the publisher that gets sued and obviously they wouldn't want to get sued by somebody who's quite litigious. So that's why they did that. But the story is pretty much out there. So you could easily kind of kind of work out what I'm talking about in the book. I wanted to write it because my story is not one of you hear terrible stories of assault and things in Hollywood. Mine is not that. It's more just kind of a shit situation at work that the 44-year-old version of me would have left and would have said, ah, screw you, I'm out of here. you know got enough self-esteem to leave and know this isn't a good situation for me”

“It's weird because the book is about my whole life, you know, and yet this particular chapter has gotten the most attention, I guess, because I'm saying something negative about a male comedian, Sasha Baron Cohen, and in it describing the worst professional experience of my career, which was 10 years ago now on a movie called Grimsby and working with him. And it was an experience that left me feeling humiliated and degraded as a person. And so that chapter.”

“Yeah, maybe. And so I think having my gorgeous daughter and looking at her, she makes me want to like not work as much. And I think I didn't know how she was going to affect my life. And then now just knowing how much joy it is just to be around her. And it makes me think less about myself and more about her and my family. And so from that level, I want to not work as much and I have to be a bit more selective.”

“No, I didn't see that. I just saw winning and feeling great about it. I mean, I definitely know I need a break over the summer and I will have fun times and I've learned how to have fun now because before, like in my 20s, I didn't even do that. I wouldn't even go on a holiday. I'd be like, no, I have to keep working hard.”

“And my love life, there is a happy story to everyone listening. I have an amazing partner, Ramona, who's absolutely an incredible partner. And so that story had a happy ending as well. I keep saying to people, oh, I'm going to retire now, you know, and then they're like, yeah, you'll have like two days off and then you'll have some idea for a movie and then you'll want to do it. So I think I'm always that little girl who at the dog shows was like reaching into bins to collect the aluminium cans to earn money because I felt like I didn't have anything because I didn't have any money. And so part of me is always that I just have this drive to earn money and that motivates me. And then it's weird like I achieve a goal. I remember coming to America it was just to be in one Hollywood movie. But then you achieve it and then it's not enough and then you want, you know, and now like, you know, I'd like to win an Oscar or, you know, have that level of success.”

“open doors for you or carry your groceries to the car for you or offered to do something for you or whatever, and I just... It was so weird to experience that. I've experienced both sides of the coin to be kind of being invisible in that area and then to be visible. And it was bizarre. It was like the attention and I was like, oh, is this what hot people feel or get all the time? And they get this kind of positive bias in society all the time. And I got such positive reinforcement for losing weight from the press and from people like every single person would make some comment about it. And it's hard not to fall into liking that. Now I've just been too stressed being a director that I've kind of gone off the health bandwagon.”

“Well, now I do a lot more dramatic stuff. I mean, I'm still obviously doing the comedy stuff. I mean, I've just directed a movie, which is a big, huge new career step. But yeah, I've got a movie coming out the Armin and the Seahorse here in the UK, which is totally serious. And I just played Lady Capulet in a film, which is totally not what you'd think I would do. And it's awesome, but it's kind of how I started my career doing Shakespeare and stuff before I was bigger. And so it's kind of coming back now to doing that kind of thing. But more I noticed, I mean, now I'm kind of in the middle because I'm like, I've gained back some weight. It was so weird to be someone who walks around the world kind of feeling a bit invisible. Attractiveness-wise. And then suddenly I lost all this weight and got so much positive validation. Like it was insane.”

“And I think there is some attitude. But then you think to those people, what would make them happy? You go like the John Candy way and you die of a heart attack or, you know, something happens to you. Like you get some serious, I mean, my father died of a heart attack with complications with diabetes. So I was like, I was heading towards the diabetes route if I kept going. I was like, well, does that make those people happy? You just say as you are and be unhealthy and then you die prematurely. That's not a great outcome. Like what are those people want? But I think as a comedian you have so many different things in your toolkit and mainly there are your personality and so even though it's easy to go oh you have that physical irregularity and that's why people laugh there are so many other elements”

“I think some people did. It's like, say, if you're in a family and your sibling makes a change for the better, and then you feel like, oh, well, makes me feel bad because I didn't make the change. And it makes me feel not as good about myself, so therefore I'm going to hate them for changing how dare they change, how dare they.”

“I mean, I think there were some people going, oh, she won't be funny anymore. But then I had this movie come out senior year where I play a cheerleader who went into a coma and then wakes up 20 years later. And that was my first big comedy. And it got something like 89 million unique Netflix accounts. Watch it in the first 10 days around the world, which was huge, huge, huge numbers. So I was like, oh, well, I think they're probably people are wrong about that. They won't be funny anymore.”

“You call it. I definitely noticed that it did, I have like an unlimited ability to eat sweets and chocolate and ice cream and stuff. And that drug helped for me not to feel full. I wouldn't feel like that before I would just eat a ton of it like, you know, so I actually liked it, but yeah, I know, I think, I actually think for people like me, those drugs can be really effective. But obviously, I'm not on it right now. But maybe if I, you know, prescribed it by a doctor, I'd go back on it.”

“No, I didn't even, if I had known about it, I would have tried it 100%, but more for once I'd lost like. 35 kilos, I was like, I can't continue working out and having this level of focus. Like I can't. And I was very worried that the weight would come back on. And then now, like, I mean, now I have gained back 10 kilos or so because of, I guess, having a baby, I just can't work out in the level that I used to. And then I directed a movie, which was a lot of sitting on a chair all day long and being stressed, still stress eating, which I'll get under control when I'm, you know, not working seven days a week. And so I've tried it for a few months for like weight management, I guess you could.”

“Yeah, well, that was all later. I mean, weirdly, the guy I lost my virginity to at 35 I was set up with, and I think... Part of why I think I might have been attractive was because I was in a number one movie at the time and whatever. And that guy was like an awesome guy and I'd met him and I'd waited so long at that point. I really wanted to lose my virginity to someone who I was really, really into. And I just, I really like this guy. I thought he was so funny and cute and potentially marriage material at the time I met him. And so when I did my year of love experiment, that was like a few years later. So obviously, I mean, I don't think I could have done it if I was still a virgin and going on all these dates because at least I'd had some experience by that point. But I dated like 50 people in the one year in 2019 to just get some, I don't know, like to find it, like, because I just was behind the eight ball. I'd never dated properly.”

It's awful going on dates and you got to get all dressed up and, you know, and then go and have it lunch or dinner with someone that you might not know whether there's any chemistry.”

“Yeah in particular and I was like oh God like out of all the people to say something most people didn't say anything but I know there is that pressure like for single women over 30 you just get like a little bit and but I felt it more in my later 30s and I went on a dating app at one point to like try to meet people Because I was like, well, I actually met some good people. In real life? Yeah, it was that dating app Raya has some celebrities on it.”

I was like, no, I honestly don't remember one person apart from the little boyfriend I had when I was 16, which was the most innocent thing ever where we just held hands and maybe kissed once. But anyways, when I got famous from Pitch Perfect, there was like a waiter at Chateau Marmont. Basically said, you know, take me home with you tonight kind of thing.

“I think a lot of it, I don't think I would have been able to write this book if I hadn't have done that emotional work with the doctor because there were just stuff that I suppressed, you know, a lot of stuff about my father and my complicated relationship with him and the sadness of him dying. He suddenly had a heart attack and died right close after Pitch Perfect One came out. And I think just all these little things in my childhood That you know, I just guess I never That was associated with my weight, but obviously was. And because I hadn't processed the things, it was like I was holding on to barriers. It was like the weight was a barrier one for like intimacy, for example, you know, I never wanted a relationship or wanted to be attractive or whatever, and the weight was kind of a barrier because that kept all the people.”

“Gradually, it kind of processing things and then I could release them, the emotions, and then the weight loss kind of came. But because I wasn't working, I did do crazy workouts like I was working out like two hours, two and a half hours a day to help, you know, to help accelerate it. I was cooking my own meals. I was, you know, concentrating on eating high protein meals and I was just doing all the right things because I didn't have any stress of work. And I was just like, okay, this is going to be it. But the real thing was the emotional.”

“And I never even thought about that. Like, I just thought, you know, going on a diet is about eating less and exercising more. And I just never thought but to me, because I was an emotional eater, really the kicker was to process emotions and to learn how to process emotions. And obviously from my family environment, I had definitely not learnt any skills in that area and was kind of holding on to everything like a like a bag of groceries of this little trauma and this and they are holding on to it. And so I had to start processing that with a doctor. Like we did a phone call every two weeks. And at first it's awful. You're like, oh my God, what do I talk about and talk about my personal things? And it felt awful to do it at first. And then I did it.”

And I'd be like, okay, it's going to be my year of health and I'm just going to focus on being healthy.

“Yeah, so that's quite common. You can't drastically change your appearance. So that's pretty much in all acting contracts. It's not just about weight. It's about your hair, you know, what you look like. And you can't go, you know, too much either side. That's basically because sometimes in films you have to do reshoots or sometimes, you know, they might want to do a sequel or something. And so you kind of have to stay the same. So literally like I have to ask somebody if I'd want to cut my hair right now to a different color or style or whatever. It's just a thing in the business because you could be asked to do a reshoot on a film a year later. Have to kind of look the same”

“So, as soon as I started telling people in my team about this, they're like, oh no, no, no, why would you want to lose weight like that? No, I wouldn't. If I was you, I wouldn't do that. Because then you lose your multimillion dollar pigeonhole that you've so successfully created. And look at all the work you've done to get that. And now you're just going to throw it away. So I was then literally like, okay, what do I do with my life? Get healthy, but I lose my career or do I just stay the way I am and maybe never have a child? And that was literally kind of how it was positioned to me. I just felt like nah, I gotta, I think I know deep down that I'm engaging in unhealthy behaviors and I'm going to work on my health and try to have a child.”

“And then it was kind of the motivation, almost not really for myself and my health, but for a future child. I thought, well, now I've got to fix this and work really hard to do it because if I tried so many, I don't know 20 times or whatever in the past, but it always only lasted a short term. And then I was like, whoa, okay, but this is different because now the motivations to have a child. So that's like a different motivating factor.”

“Yes, especially because had I tried to go on diets, had I gone on diets, had I gone to a little health farm and lost five, seven pounds in a week and then you never sustain it and then it goes back up. So I'd like, it's not like I'd never tried. I just never thought because always the weight would come back on and that was just my homeostasis or whatever from my body was like at 102 kilos. And that's kind of just how it was. And I was like, oh, well, I could never permanently change that. I just thought, no, I can get two degrees from university and become an international movie star, but I just can't like with the weight, I was like, I can't like just, you know, I don't know.

“And then I thought, well, the next year twenty twenty, I'll make the whole year about getting healthy. Like I said, I'm not going to work. Weirdly, I couldn't have predicted that a pandemic was going to happen. I'd already planned not to work that year and to take a whole year to do health stuff.”

“He just said it straight to my face, and then I go Oh, I'm not healthy, and I knew deep down I just suppressed those feelings, but I knew deep down I wasn't healthy, but I didn't have any serious diseases. I was doing incredible things all around the world. So I just didn't, and then he said that and like it really sunk in. There was like this criticism that was I couldn't ignore and I was like, oh God, okay, yeah, he is right and I'm not healthy because on the one hand I'm like a beacon of body positivity and that because I really do think beauty is at any size and had grown, you know, so much self-confidence by that point. But then on the other hand, I knew I was engaging in unhealthy eating behaviors and that was something I wanted to improve in myself.”

“Successful it's been? I don't think so. He wasn't in my demographic. He looked a bit like the doctor from Doc from... To the future Older guy with white, wiry hair. So, yeah, I don't think he was in the picture perfect fan base. And he”

“With like kind of quite a lot of disdain in his voice, I was like, huh, because that's, that was a stranger. Most people, you know, in Hollywood, they're not going to come up to you and go, oh, you're engaging in bad, you know, eating habits, obviously. They're just like, oh, congratulations on your new movie. And yeah, it's great. You play Fat Amy and that's awesome.”

“At that point, and I just was like, I think I should try, but I was getting, I was like 39 years old. And I didn't even know that I had eggs or what could be done. And then I went to the fertility doctor. And by this point, like, I'm living this really large life. You know, I am medically obese, but I'm living this kind of amazing life. I travel the world. I learnt how to have fun and not be so much of a workaholic. And I was like, you know, like that Lizzo song, like, it's bad bitch o'clock. Like that was like my life. Like I'm walking around just loving it. I've been successful now. And then the doctor looks me up and down and goes, yeah, but you're not healthy. And he said, you have a much better chance of having a baby if you were healthy. And the way he said it.”

“I guess I never thought because I was so career driven. I thought, you know, I'd never thought I would want to have a family and also being in my business. It's so egocentric the business. And so I just didn't think that was in the cards for me. And I also thought, oh, well, I'm probably never going to find a partner or whatever. And then I was just like this biological clock inside me in my late 30s just started like ticking really loudly. And I kind of say it's like in Peter Pan, that crocodile that has the clock inside it. It was just like you could hear it going. I was like, do it now. Otherwise, it'll be too late. And I would see babies on the street with their mums and be like, oh, and I just like, because you keep staring at all the babies. And just like, like I just really felt this urge inside me to be a mother. And even though I didn't have a partner”

“And then you have to wait. It normally takes a whole year when you film a movie for the movie to be released. So that was a really skint year where I was living on $60 a week in LA once I'd paid my rent and my car hire. And that's not a lot of money. So like I wasn't partying or living this life. It was basically just having that focus, trying to write for myself, like going to auditions. And I had to wait a whole year until Bridesmaids came out. And then suddenly it comes out as this big hit and I book six movies off the back of it, one of which was pitch perfect, which was kind of my real golden ticket. That movie.”

“Yeah, that was my first job in America. And I mean, I was very lucky to get it. I mean, what an awesome cracker of a movie to get that. But to be paid that little and basically that $3,500, I then had to pay to the union to join the union. So I basically made no money, I lost money because I had to pay to go to the premier, like to buy my dress and everything. So I lost money doing bridesmaids.”

“But was I stunted? I was like, if you really knew me, you'd know that, yeah, I hadn't been out on a date until my early 30s. I hadn't had that intimate experiences and relationships. And so all that area of my life wasn't great. But I was like the most successful person to ever come out of my high school. Or, you know, so like there were great things. I could go courtside at the LA Lakers games or, you know, like there were awesome stuff. But then there was like... Yeah, on a personal side, I wasn't the best person, and then I knew that. I knew, oh God, okay, so I've excelled in one area, but now there's others that I'm quite lacking in. And the other area was apart from love life and kind of social life was also health.”
