Jenna OrtegaGuest
Lulu Garcia-NavarroHost[gentle music] Before we talk about the Beetlejuice film, I wanted to ask you just a little bit about what your life is like when you're filming in a place that you're not familiar with.
I mean, do you hang out with your co-stars? Do you just focus on your work? Like, what is the vibe day to day?
Well, currently I'm, I'm working on being better about hanging out or prioritizing a normal life outside of work because [laughs] I, I typically just hide away in a hole, um, and lose all sense of self and life outside of my job, and I don't do that intentionally, and that's not to be dramatic.
But I think it's really easy on a job where, for example, I do a lot of horror and things like that, there's a lot of night shoots.
It's kind of hard to communicate with people during the day because you're technically supposed to be sleeping.
Me working on location usually consists of walking around for a bit, maybe going for a run, finding, like, a local cafe that I know I like the coffee there, and then that's about it.
Like, why did you get started doing that, and what do you, what do you journal about?
Uh, well, I got into that because I [laughs] lost all sense of self in life while I started working and traveling for the first time.
'Cause I first started traveling w- when I was around 18, so it's, it's been a few years of this.
Yes, because dreams to me are really fascinating because I feel like I learn a lot about myself through them.
Um, I've been able to notice patterns in my way of thinking based on how stressed I may be, lack of sleep.
Sometimes I end up in this middle state where I'm actually inspired and become creative over the ideas that I had while I was still somewhat awake, and sometimes it's complete nonsense.
