I need a drink.
A Pellegrino sweats on my makeup artist June’s vanity. It falls
somewhere in the corner of my vision; June and the understood Stay still
form a brick wall between me and even pretending to placate the dryness in
my mouth. They’d offered me a laundry list of nonalcoholic drinks when
my manager, Trish, and I first walked into the Late Late Show with Winston
Gray, everything but what I need. I consider asking the intern with the
infected nose ring for a glass of wine, to see if she’d bend the rules, but I
don’t. I sit, and the wisps of June’s eyeshadow brush ghost featherlight
across my skin.
I’ve never needed alcohol to get through an interview before. I’ve
certainly enjoyed it, maybe even used it as a crutch once everyone got
talking, but it’s never been on my mind like this before. That said, I’ve
never done an interview where I’ve talked about my directing before. It’s
never mattered like this.
June pulls away. “Gonna set you and you’re good to go.” She glances
down at her phone. “And right on time.”
In other words, T minus five before I’m on with Winston.
“You’re promoting TV today, right?” June asks, her back facing the
mirror.
“Yeah, Strange Prey’s second-season opener.”
It was one of the first things Trish booked me when I signed with her,
one of those pick any random thing you’d love to do bucket list items. An
experiment. What Trish calls an excuse to own my narrative. I thought
being out would be no big deal, that that was going to be me owning my
narrative. When I reshuffled my team, that I’d get more opportunities that
aligned with my values, my creativity and passions. A few new types of
opportunities and I truly thought everything would change for the better.
But then the media branded me as only one thing. I tried to deal for a while,
but I could handle being taken even less seriously than before I came out
for only so long. I disappeared from the public eye not even a month after
throwing myself into the spotlight. Focused on the work. No press. I acted
and directed and ended up finishing my PhD all while sustaining myself off
delivery groceries and forcing my friends to meet at someone’s house.
While productive, it wasn’t healthy. Over the past month, I’ve reentered
public places for the sake of my social life. Trish insisted press was the next
step. I’m back, and the layers of makeup and hair spray feel heavy and
unfamiliar on my skin. I haven’t given an interview in front of a camera
since the Goodbye, Richard! promo last spring, and something that used to
be second nature now feels terrifyingly foreign.
