I checked into the Paramount Hotel on West Forty-sixth Street near Times Square. The production company had a block of twenty-something rooms. I kept trying to figure out how much of a budget they had to shoot the film—I imagined it was somewhere in the millions. Every time I thought about it I got giddy behind the fact that I was the star in a production so big.

I took the elevator up to the fourteenth floor and went to my room. Walking inside, I felt like I could get use to shit like this. I mean, it wasn’t anything extraordinary or nothing. But just the fact that I would be able to order room service all day, have my dry cleaning picked up and dropped back off, and enjoy housekeeping each and every morning was what I was talking about. And I would be able to enjoy it all by myself. I didn’t have a roommate like some of the crew and cast. Overall, it was peaceful, a retreat away from the hectic and busy outside world.

I unpacked my clothes and put everything in a place as if I were at home. I ordered a turkey club and an iced tea and then got in the shower. I didn’t feel like putting on clothes right away so I just lounged around in the complimentary robe. I decided I would eat and take a nap before I went down to visit the set.

I got to the set at close to five o’clock and it was perfect timing because everybody was sitting around eating pizza.

“Hey,” Jay greeted me as I approached.

“Hi, Jay,” I said. “How y’all doin’?” I spoke to the others.

“Hi,” they said.

“So, it’s good to see you had a safe flight,” Jay said. “You want something to eat?”

“Yeah,” I said, looking at the pizza with hunger in my eyes. I was so damn greedy it didn’t make sense. And the number one question people asked me in interviews was how I stayed so thin. I couldn’t tell ’em. It was a mystery to me.

“Did you check into the hotel okay?” Jay asked, handing me a paper plate with a slice of cheesy, greasy pizza on it.

“Yup,” I told him. “Everything was cool.”

“That’s good. Well, you wanna take a look around the set?” he asked.

“I would love to,” I said.

Jay led me to my trailer first, which really blew my mind. I had my own trailer. That was beyond me. I walked inside and it was set up like a small apartment. There was a couch and TV, a kitchenette and a powder room. It was cute.

“You like it?” Jay asked. “This is where you’ll spend most of your time between takes,” he explained.

“Yeah, it’s so cute,” I said, looking around.

“So, you ready?” he asked. “We start shooting tomorrow. You got your shooting schedule?”

I nodded my head. “I think I’m ready. I hope so.”

“You been practicing?”

“Yeah. Every chance I get.”

“Then you’ll be all right,” he said. “And I’ll work with you, ya know what I mean.
