When speaking about casting Richie in her first scripted series-regular television role, Fey explained: “She’s a really funny person and has an instant likability.

Nicole Richie Interview

A Conversation Between Nicole Richie & Rashida Jones

Published; May 8 2017

Source; https://www.refinery29.com

Rashida Jones: “Hi, Nicole.”

Nicole Richie: “Hi, Rashida.”

RJ: “How are you?”

NR: “I’m really good. I wish we were together on this sunny day.”

RJ: “I wish we were together, too. It feels weird to talk on the phone. I don’t think we’ve talked on the phone for, like, maybe five years?”

NR: “The only reason why you and I actually get on the phone, like the real phone with no texting, is if we’re breaking something down, and there are details that need to be disclosed.”

RJ: “Right. And also things that you don’t really want in writing.”

NR: “Yes, like secretive things [laughs].”

RJ: “Anyway — I’m gonna start from, like, the present and go backward, because I have questions about your new show, and I guess your career pivot, we could say? It’s not really a change, but a pivot.”

NR: “Okay.”

RJ: “How did you get this part? It feels like a very coveted project for anybody, not to mention the struggling actors in comedy in the L.A. scene.”

NR: “It almost felt like it came out of nowhere. My manager called me and he told me about this script, and he said, ‘I want you to read it, I want you to read it in a very real way.’ I did and I was obsessed with the writing and the comedy and just the rhythm of it. So I went to audition. I auditioned for it three times. And then I got it, and we were shooting about six days later. It was very, very fast.”

RJ: “As somebody who has known you for a really, really long time, I would put funny at the top of the list of things that you are. You’re just naturally funny. This is sort of a different thing, though, because you’re acting. Did you feel nervous in making that transition in any way?”

NR: “Oh, my gosh, I was intimidated on every level. First of all, these people had already shot a pilot, so they already knew each other. So I was really walking in not only as the girl who just got her first acting role as a regular on a series, but also as just the new kid on the block. It is the best set to be on. When I tell you how, like, lovely and warm and welcoming everybody is, I’m not exaggerating one bit.”

RJ: “Now you play a…”

NR: “John Michael Higgins and I are the co-anchors of the news show.”

RJ: “I mean, be honest: I have a secret dream of anchoring a show. Was this role a little bit of wish fulfillment for you?”

NR: “I need to have a little more room to throw in my opinions. There’s no room for that on a news set. You’re a talking head. That’s it. I need a little bass in my life, you know? A little rocking back and forth. A drumroll every now and then.”

RJ: “You’re very good off-the-cuff, and I wouldn’t want you to be robbed of that. But I can picture you in a talk show scenario, breaking it down with somebody and getting to the essence of their issues.”

NR: “Well, I feel very responsible playing Portia. I feel like a true adult — and that does not come often.”

RJ: “Interesting. So, let’s talk about what it means to be an adult. We’ve known each other as children and as teenagers and as young adults. And kind-of-adults now…”

NR: “We are, but I don’t — not only do I not look at myself as an adult, I don’t look at you as one. I do in the sense of, I’m so proud of you and everything that you’ve accomplished, and it’s so amazing. But when I’m talking to you, it’s like I’m 18 again, and we’re sneaking into our rooms to break it down over the phone.”

RJ: “That’s true. I mean, thank you for saying that you don’t think of me as an adult. Because sometimes I feel so adult that there’s no going back. So I’m happy to hear that you can still see that part of me.”

NR: “I have those areas too, yes. When I’m just hanging with you, I feel — actually, I feel my youngest.”

RJ: “That’s so nice to hear because I was gonna say, and I mean this as a compliment, I feel like you have become such an adult. And by that I mean you’re such a responsible, calming force. You have a steadiness about you that I really admire, and I think you’ve done a nice job of cultivating your life as an adult. So I just want to ask if you felt like there was a turning point for you as a young person when you were like, I gotta get my shit together. It’s time…”

NR: “No, there wasn’t. Because life, it’s just ongoing; energy is ongoing. We just keep moving forward. For me, it’s been very gradual. Like I just said, there are times that I don’t even feel like an adult. I feel like one when I’m a mom and when I’m sitting in my office sometimes. I’m taking on new challenges in my life now. I’m challenging myself now just as much as I was being challenged back when I was a teenager. And learning, I would say, even more now than I was even interested in learning back when I was a teenager.

“And it’s so much fun when you get to that place. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it happens when you are young. I do think that people have a different appreciation for education. I don’t take it for granted in the way that I did. Once I got to a place where I loved learning, loved educating myself, then it just opened up a whole new world for me. That’s why I feel like I’m not done growing, and therefore, I don’t feel like a full adult yet.”

RJ: “You can tell me if you don’t want to talk about this, but I remember the day you showed me The Simple Life, and it was hilarious. You guys were kind of making fun of yourself, like you knew what you were doing, and that was the basis of the show. How do you feel about the way things have changed in that genre of TV?”

NR: “Well, when we did The Simple Life, remember the only other reality shows that were on were The Real World and The Osbournes. And The Simple Life was neither of those. It was actually me leaving my life for 30 days and going and planting myself in somebody else’s life. It was always a safe kind of thing for me to do, because I always kept my sense of home and family somewhat private. I wouldn’t have done it if I had to bring cameras into my own house. I’m a Virgo and I love to have my alone time and my own private space.”

RJ: “Well, I do feel like that’s always been how you are. You have an outward persona and you know how to play it on a level where it never bumps up against your level of comfort, which I think is really admirable. Sometimes the outside world wants to know everything about you and they want access to your life, and it can become a giant burden. It’s hard to know how to create those boundaries, and I think you’ve always had an instinct to have them. So I think scripted television is very good for you in that way.”

NR: “It not only took work, but it takes work. Learning your own boundaries is something that, for me, I had to learn just as they started coming. I wasn’t just born understanding myself and knowing what my boundaries were. It was something that over the course of the years I’ve had to say, um, this works for me and this doesn’t work for me. I’m the type of person where it kind of has to happen first and then I can make the decision of, okay, this is actually what I’m okay with and this is what I’m not. The key is to be okay with knowing that you are you, and some people are okay with things that you’re not gonna be okay with, you know? And you have to do what’s right for you and just live in the truth. Because if you’re doing it for something else, it just never goes right.”

RJ: “With that being said — you know I think about this all the time — had I come of age during social media, I can’t…”

NR: “I would have been a monster!”

RJ: “Right. Like it just would have been — I mean do you think that you would have embraced it and gone, like, whole hog into it?”

NR: “Oh, it would have been so sloppy. I think about it all the time. I’m like, [gasps], thank God, oh, no, no, no, no, no. That would have been so bad. That would have been so bad!”

RJ: “The thing is you can’t make mistakes now the way that we were allowed to make so many mistakes. We weren’t in a pressure cooker. You could just make the mistakes, learn from them, and move on. Now it’s like it follows you forever.”

NR: “And by the way, I got caught — everything I did, and we didn’t even have camera phones! And I still figured out how to get caught every time I did something wrong. Can you imagine? I’m telling you, I’m like, ugh, thank God I was born in 1981.”

RJ: “I know, I know. I feel lucky in a lot of ways to not be a millennial. It’s a real blessing.”

NR: “It is a blessing.”

RJ: “Do you have fantasies of running away from everything? I mean, I know — like I said, you’re comfortable with your outward persona, but sometimes it can be difficult because it’s part of our business. So do you have a fantasy of kind of living in the woods and just being like, ‘Bye, world’?”

NR: “Well, no, because I really love my life and I love that I get to wake up in the morning and work on House of Harlow and get to do this show. Being out in the world and being social isn’t my favorite thing, but I don’t necessarily have to do that. And I’ve been able to find places that are close to L.A. that I can drive to and get away for a weekend and enjoy nature. Being outside is very important to me. And I feel like you’re the same, right?”
