06:19 ,129 --> 00:06:21,164

Milana Vayntrub: my childhood There was a little stint of

182

06:21 ,204 --> 00:06:24,686

Milana Vayntrub: her having a flower shop And my dad has had

183

06:24 ,786 --> 00:06:27,462

Milana Vayntrub: literally every job that an immigrant can

184

06:27 ,523 --> 00:06:30,330

Milana Vayntrub: have for being somebody who refuses to

185

06:30 ,370 --> 00:06:31,032

Milana Vayntrub: learn the language.

186

06:31 ,180 --> 00:06:33,908

Milana Vayntrub: So he was like a plumber and he delivered

187

06:34 ,049 --> 00:06:38,945

Milana Vayntrub: doughnuts And he was a handyman And now

188

06:39 ,046 --> 00:06:40,429

Milana Vayntrub: he's kind of found his thing.

189

06:41 ,732 --> 00:06:42,373

Marc Preston: You know it's funny.

190

06:42 ,520 --> 00:06:45,969

Marc Preston: I was my first experience meeting somebody

191

06:46 ,009 --> 00:06:49,426

Marc Preston: who is Jewish who immigrated from Russia.

192

06:50 ,127 --> 00:06:52,092

Marc Preston: Was God when was this?

193

06:52 ,780 --> 00:06:54,880

Marc Preston: Roughly 1993, 1994.

194

06:54 ,940 --> 00:06:56,808

Marc Preston: I remember them, i was for a press junket.

195

06:56 ,900 --> 00:06:57,101

Marc Preston: I was.

196

06:57 ,562 --> 00:06:59,348

Marc Preston: I remember I stayed the four seasons

197

06:59 ,408 --> 00:07:02,366

Marc Preston: Beverly Hills And I flew out there and I

198

07:02 ,386 --> 00:07:03,841

Marc Preston: needed to get back to the airport And this

199

07:04 ,022 --> 00:07:06,610

Marc Preston: really nice fella picked me up in a cab

200

07:06 ,720 --> 00:07:09,863

Marc Preston: back before Uber And we're going.

201

07:09 ,903 --> 00:07:12,041

Marc Preston: And I find out that he's actually was a

202

07:12 ,182 --> 00:07:15,524

Marc Preston: surgeon in Russia, but to get all of his

203

07:15 ,584 --> 00:07:17,442

Marc Preston: licenses and everything to be able to

204

07:17 ,482 --> 00:07:19,850

Marc Preston: practice in America was a real process.

205

07:19 ,940 --> 00:07:21,667

Marc Preston: So in the interim he was driving a cab.

206

07:22 ,120 --> 00:07:23,365

Milana Vayntrub: It's a very common story.

207

07:24 ,621 --> 00:07:24,762

Marc Preston: Really.

208

07:25 ,540 --> 00:07:28,281

Milana Vayntrub: Yeah, i see it so often with people who

209

07:29 ,022 --> 00:07:32,410

Milana Vayntrub: were professors back in Egypt and here are

210

07:32 ,531 --> 00:07:37,369

Milana Vayntrub: driving Ubers And yeah, it is bizarre that

211

07:38 ,271 --> 00:07:40,344

Milana Vayntrub: a lot of the skills don't transfer because

212

07:41 ,086 --> 00:07:42,571

Milana Vayntrub: of logistics.

213

07:42 ,660 --> 00:07:44,927

Milana Vayntrub: Like you know, you can understand medicine

214

07:45 ,087 --> 00:07:48,627

Milana Vayntrub: in, you know in Ukrainian, but you don't

215

07:48 ,668 --> 00:07:50,124

Milana Vayntrub: understand medicine Because the body is

216

07:50 ,164 --> 00:07:51,444

Milana Vayntrub: different, because the Ukrainian body and

217

07:51 ,464 --> 00:07:52,768

Milana Vayntrub: an American body are so different.

218

07:54 ,042 --> 00:07:57,050

Milana Vayntrub: But it is you know.

219

07:57 ,291 --> 00:07:58,301

Milana Vayntrub: And then you really have to think about

220

07:58 ,482 --> 00:08:01,751

Milana Vayntrub: what those people went through, how bad it

221

08:01 ,860 --> 00:08:04,328

Milana Vayntrub: had to be for them to drop their education

222

08:05 ,181 --> 00:08:07,623

Milana Vayntrub: and all of their credentials, and you know

223

08:07 ,703 --> 00:08:10,162

Milana Vayntrub: however many letters they had after their

224

08:10 ,202 --> 00:08:13,731

Milana Vayntrub: name to come to the States and start over.

225

08:14 ,680 --> 00:08:16,808

Marc Preston: Well, how hard was that for you growing up?

226

08:17 ,501 --> 00:08:18,786

Marc Preston: I've always wondered what this was like

227

08:18 ,806 --> 00:08:21,164

Marc Preston: when you have parents who their first

228

08:21 ,224 --> 00:08:22,449

Marc Preston: language is certainly not English.

229

08:22 ,540 --> 00:08:23,664

Marc Preston: But here you are growing up in an

230

08:23 ,805 --> 00:08:25,541

Marc Preston: English-speaking world, but when you come

231

08:25 ,602 --> 00:08:29,371

Marc Preston: home, did that create any issues for you

232

08:29 ,411 --> 00:08:30,032

Marc Preston: when you were young?

233

08:30 ,140 --> 00:08:31,344

Marc Preston: I mean, was that kind of a?

234

08:31 ,745 --> 00:08:33,149

Marc Preston: was it a challenge for you at all?

235

08:33 ,661 --> 00:08:38,389

Milana Vayntrub: Yeah, yes, i also do consider myself really

236

08:38 ,530 --> 00:08:41,145

Milana Vayntrub: lucky because I had an incredibly proactive

237

08:41 ,225 --> 00:08:46,545

Milana Vayntrub: mom who, although only spoke Russian to me

238

08:46 ,666 --> 00:08:50,086

Milana Vayntrub: at home, really made sure that my life was

239

08:50 ,287 --> 00:08:54,047

Milana Vayntrub: full of extracurricular activities and, you

240

08:54 ,067 --> 00:08:56,263

Milana Vayntrub: know, work the night shift so that I could

241

08:56 ,463 --> 00:08:59,290

Milana Vayntrub: take acting classes and dance and

242

08:59 ,330 --> 00:09:02,827

Milana Vayntrub: gymnastics and all of the things that kind

243

09:02 ,867 --> 00:09:05,904

Milana Vayntrub: of helped me practice my socialization and

244

09:05 ,944 --> 00:09:06,827

Milana Vayntrub: Americanize me.

245

09:08 ,963 --> 00:09:12,362

Milana Vayntrub: But yes, at home we only spoke Russian And

246

09:13 ,765 --> 00:09:16,231

Milana Vayntrub: that did kind of keep one foot in each door

247

09:16 ,291 --> 00:09:16,572

Milana Vayntrub: for me.

248

09:17 ,160 --> 00:09:19,549

Marc Preston: Having folks who came over what in the

249

09:19 ,589 --> 00:09:21,748

Marc Preston: world kind of motivated them to say hey

250

09:21 ,820 --> 00:09:23,205

Marc Preston: this entertainment industry thing.

251

09:23 ,245 --> 00:09:24,228

Marc Preston: This is acting.

252

09:24 ,268 --> 00:09:24,649

Marc Preston: This is cool.

253

09:24 ,980 --> 00:09:26,826

Marc Preston: Or was that your decision to jump in when

254

09:26 ,846 --> 00:09:27,327

Marc Preston: you were young?

255

09:28 ,560 --> 00:09:30,588

Milana Vayntrub: Well, i don't think it had any part.

256

09:30 ,880 --> 00:09:32,787

Milana Vayntrub: I don't think entertainment had any part in

257

09:32 ,807 --> 00:09:33,650

Milana Vayntrub: them coming over.

258

09:33 ,800 --> 00:09:35,465

Milana Vayntrub: We came over because this is just where we

259

09:35 ,526 --> 00:09:36,087

Milana Vayntrub: knew people.

260

09:36 ,509 --> 00:09:38,471

Marc Preston: Oh, no, no, no, i meant like once you were

261

09:38 ,491 --> 00:09:40,945

Marc Preston: here and they're looking for activities and

262

09:41 ,006 --> 00:09:41,748

Marc Preston: things for you to do?

263

09:42 ,283 --> 00:09:43,330

Marc Preston: was that, this for them?

264

09:43 ,350 --> 00:09:45,502

Marc Preston: was that, like you mentioned, gymnastics?

265

09:45 ,543 --> 00:09:46,326

Marc Preston: was that, like mothers, like?

266

09:46 ,446 --> 00:09:47,401

Milana Vayntrub: oh, you know acting.

267

09:47 ,442 --> 00:09:48,385

Marc Preston: Maybe that's a thing too.

268

09:48 ,807 --> 00:09:52,168

Milana Vayntrub: Yeah, i just was a really talkative

269

09:52 ,408 --> 00:09:55,607

Milana Vayntrub: loudmouth And my teachers couldn't keep me

270

09:55 ,667 --> 00:09:58,226

Milana Vayntrub: quiet And my mom was like how do we profit

271

09:58 ,286 --> 00:09:58,768

Milana Vayntrub: off of this?

272

10:01 ,544 --> 00:10:03,950

Milana Vayntrub: My mom was actually an actress in

273

10:04 ,030 --> 00:10:04,652

Milana Vayntrub: Uzbekistan.

274

10:04 ,740 --> 00:10:06,966

Milana Vayntrub: There was like maybe three films made in

275

10:07 ,046 --> 00:10:11,544

Milana Vayntrub: Uzbekistan in the 70s And she was in one of

276

10:11 ,584 --> 00:10:14,227

Milana Vayntrub: them, and so she really had aspirations of

277

10:14 ,267 --> 00:10:19,590

Milana Vayntrub: being an actress And I never felt pressured

278

10:19 ,650 --> 00:10:20,051

Milana Vayntrub: to do it.

279

10:20 ,120 --> 00:10:23,129

Milana Vayntrub: It was always the kind of thing that I was

280

10:23 ,269 --> 00:10:23,851

Milana Vayntrub: drawn to.

281

10:24 ,040 --> 00:10:26,688

Milana Vayntrub: It was very magnetic for me and also the

282

10:26 ,768 --> 00:10:28,866

Milana Vayntrub: most fun, like I loved being on sets.

283

10:28 ,940 --> 00:10:30,045

Milana Vayntrub: I even loved auditions.

284

10:30 ,160 --> 00:10:32,447

Milana Vayntrub: I loved hanging out with the other girls

285

10:32 ,467 --> 00:10:33,651

Milana Vayntrub: that were my age and becoming friends.

286

10:33 ,700 --> 00:10:35,567

Milana Vayntrub: One of the girls that I met when I was five

287

10:35 ,627 --> 00:10:36,983

Milana Vayntrub: at an audition is still one of my best

288

10:37 ,023 --> 00:10:37,284

Milana Vayntrub: friends.

289

10:39 ,723 --> 00:10:42,429

Milana Vayntrub: So definitely I had my mother's influence,

290

10:42 ,489 --> 00:10:43,732

Milana Vayntrub: but never pressure.

291

10:45 ,402 --> 00:10:46,706

Marc Preston: So you're the kid who is very.

292

10:47 ,409 --> 00:10:49,405

Marc Preston: What's the phrase that they would use these

293

10:49 ,465 --> 00:10:49,766

Marc Preston: days?

294

10:52 ,260 --> 00:10:52,783

Milana Vayntrub: Extraverted.

295

10:54 ,163 --> 00:10:56,025

Marc Preston: No, no, no, no, That would be a very

296

10:56 ,983 --> 00:10:57,425

Marc Preston: Butterfly.

297

10:57 ,680 --> 00:10:59,547

Marc Preston: No, it's whenever they try to talk about a

298

10:59 ,607 --> 00:11:01,284

Marc Preston: kid who's just kind of generally a pan of

299

11:01 ,304 --> 00:11:01,606

Marc Preston: the ass.

300

11:03 ,426 --> 00:11:04,890

Marc Preston: But I literally just turned 50 yesterday.

301

11:04 ,960 --> 00:11:06,344

Marc Preston: So I think that short term memory thing is

302

11:06 ,364 --> 00:11:07,247

Marc Preston: like gone.

303

11:08 ,169 --> 00:11:08,671

Marc Preston: My age is.

304

11:08 ,800 --> 00:11:09,844

11:10 ,867 --> 00:11:12,744

Marc Preston: Thank you, I mean, it's like I'm feeling

307

11:12 ,824 --> 00:11:14,549

Marc Preston: like I read something yesterday.

308

11:14 ,589 --> 00:11:15,451

Marc Preston: I shouldn't have read it yesterday.

309

11:15 ,520 --> 00:11:16,845

Marc Preston: So I said you're getting older, your short

310

11:16 ,865 --> 00:11:18,463

Marc Preston: term memory starts disappearing or

311

11:18 ,524 --> 00:11:18,825

Marc Preston: something.

312

11:18 ,920 --> 00:11:20,627

Marc Preston: I'm like God, did it already start?

313

11:20 ,760 --> 00:11:22,045

Marc Preston: looking for precocious.

330

11:52 ,500 --> 00:11:53,927

Marc Preston: Were you a precocious kid.

331

11:54 ,020 --> 00:11:54,904

Marc Preston: That's the best way to put it.

332

11:55 ,220 --> 00:11:58,407

Milana Vayntrub: Yeah, I was really curious and talkative

333

11:59 ,470 --> 00:12:00,612

Milana Vayntrub: and a pain in the ass.

334

12:01 ,301 --> 00:12:02,083

Marc Preston: But isn't that a great?

335

12:02 ,144 --> 00:12:03,308

Marc Preston: isn't this a great outlet, though?

336

12:03 ,428 --> 00:12:05,665

Marc Preston: acting, isn't it kind of just like you get

337

12:05 ,705 --> 00:12:07,350

Marc Preston: to play with you know?

338

339

12:09 Child Acting and Behind the Scenes

12:09 ,220 --> 00:12:11,160

Marc Preston: I did a couple things as a kid actor and

340

12:11 ,180 --> 00:12:13,909

Marc Preston: then I put it on hold for 15 years or so,

341

12:14 ,560 --> 00:12:17,549

Marc Preston: but to me, being on a set was I was deeply

342

12:17 ,610 --> 00:12:19,285

Marc Preston: entranced by everything, all the moving

343

12:19 ,346 --> 00:12:19,627

Marc Preston: parts.

344

12:19 ,800 --> 00:12:21,767

Marc Preston: I was more interested in the stuff behind

345

12:21 ,788 --> 00:12:23,024

Marc Preston: the camera than I was in front.

346

12:23 ,440 --> 00:12:25,528

Marc Preston: So what was it like, as when you were young,

347

12:26 ,060 --> 00:12:28,289

Marc Preston: what was keeping you intrigued by the gig?

348

12:28 ,320 --> 00:12:29,305

Marc Preston: Were you doing commercials?

349

12:29 ,380 --> 00:12:30,326

Marc Preston: Were you doing on camera?

350

12:30 ,440 --> 00:12:31,424

Marc Preston: What were you up to back then?

351

12:32 ,582 --> 00:12:33,840

Marc Preston: I mean, were you doing commercials Or were

352

12:33 ,861 --> 00:12:35,586

Marc Preston: you doing like TV and film?

353

12:35 ,606 --> 00:12:38,445

Milana Vayntrub: as a question, I did a little bit of TV and

354

12:38 ,526 --> 00:12:43,987

Milana Vayntrub: film and I did a lot of commercials And it

355

12:44 ,468 --> 00:12:47,083

Milana Vayntrub: was very energizing to me, like I would

356

12:47 ,123 --> 00:12:49,021

Milana Vayntrub: start bouncing off the walls when I was on

357

12:49 ,081 --> 00:12:52,951

Milana Vayntrub: a set because I was so happy to be there

358

12:54 ,161 --> 00:12:55,688

Milana Vayntrub: And I loved every part of it.

359

12:55 ,720 --> 00:12:57,441

Milana Vayntrub: I loved getting my makeup done, like a

360

12:57 ,501 --> 00:12:59,226

Milana Vayntrub: little girl sitting in a makeup chair is

361

12:59 ,246 --> 00:13:06,452

Milana Vayntrub: fun And I loved being around adults and the

362

13:06 ,492 --> 00:13:09,207

Milana Vayntrub: kids, but I had so many questions for

363

13:09 ,268 --> 00:13:10,943

Milana Vayntrub: everybody, though I'm sure were

364

13:11 ,084 --> 00:13:17,891

Milana Vayntrub: inappropriate and annoying, but I also I

365

13:17 ,931 --> 00:13:20,525

Milana Vayntrub: mean, part of the truth is I liked being

366

13:20 ,545 --> 00:13:24,586

Milana Vayntrub: the center of attention And that's what

367

13:24 ,727 --> 00:13:26,091

Milana Vayntrub: child actors are.

368

13:26 ,600 --> 00:13:27,846

Marc Preston: Is it still like that though?

369

13:27 ,980 --> 00:13:29,406

Marc Preston: Do you still enjoy being in the makeup

370

13:29 ,446 --> 00:13:29,667

Marc Preston: chair?

371

13:29 ,960 --> 00:13:31,506

Marc Preston: I think, as an adult, probably enjoy.

372

13:31 ,940 --> 00:13:33,224

Marc Preston: I found the makeup trailer is a very

373

13:33 ,565 --> 00:13:37,466

Marc Preston: wonderful gossip, den, so is it still fun

374

13:37 ,506 --> 00:13:37,767

Marc Preston: for you?

375

13:38 ,680 --> 00:13:40,640

Milana Vayntrub: Well, now makeup feels like a thing you

376

13:40 ,660 --> 00:13:44,642

Milana Vayntrub: just got to do to do the fun part, although

377

13:45 ,183 --> 00:13:47,220

Milana Vayntrub: a lot of the times the makeup artist is a

378

13:47 ,261 --> 00:13:49,167

Milana Vayntrub: good friend and that is just an opportunity

379

13:49 ,228 --> 00:13:49,769

Milana Vayntrub: to catch up.

380

13:49 ,880 --> 00:13:54,252

Milana Vayntrub: But yes, it feels makeup feels less fun.

381

13:54 ,380 --> 00:13:56,306

Milana Vayntrub: Dressing up feels a little bit less fun

382

13:57 ,560 --> 00:14:00,107

Milana Vayntrub: Because the actual work is the highlight

383

14:00 ,188 --> 00:14:00,649

Milana Vayntrub: for me now.

384

14:01 ,620 --> 00:14:03,668

Marc Preston: When was the transition when you kind of

385

14:03 ,700 --> 00:14:06,323

Marc Preston: were doing some commercial work And you

386

14:06 ,383 --> 00:14:08,228

Marc Preston: started moving into more and more film,

387

14:08 ,248 --> 00:14:08,710

Marc Preston: more TV?

388

14:09 ,420 --> 00:14:13,869

Marc Preston: Was that college-ish or just shortly after

389

14:13 ,969 --> 00:14:14,630

Marc Preston: you were in college?

390

14:16 ,534 --> 00:14:20,429

Milana Vayntrub: No, i wasn't really acting in any TV.

391

14:22 ,021 --> 00:14:25,008

Milana Vayntrub: I did one TV gig when I was in high school,

392

14:25 ,148 --> 00:14:25,729

Milana Vayntrub: i want to say.

393

14:28 ,302 --> 00:14:31,751

Milana Vayntrub: And then I just did college theater, which

394

14:32 ,080 --> 00:14:34,103

Milana Vayntrub: and I did that full time I did short films

395

14:34 ,183 --> 00:14:37,892

Milana Vayntrub: here and there that were local filmmakers

396

14:38 ,602 --> 00:14:41,069

Milana Vayntrub: were doing, or 48-hour film festival kind

397

14:41 ,109 --> 00:14:41,490

Milana Vayntrub: of stuff.

398

14:42 ,200 --> 00:14:49,054

Milana Vayntrub: But I just started actually I didn't think

399

14:49 ,140 --> 00:14:50,185

Milana Vayntrub: I was going to be an actor.

400

14:50 ,680 --> 00:14:53,781

Milana Vayntrub: I just started doing theater in college to

401

14:53 ,942 --> 00:14:54,866

Milana Vayntrub: battle depression.

402

14:55 ,026 --> 00:14:57,647

Milana Vayntrub: Honestly, i wanted a creative outlet and I

403

14:57 ,727 --> 00:15:02,431

Milana Vayntrub: wanted to be around other creative weirdos

404

15:02 ,560 --> 00:15:04,647

Milana Vayntrub: And I wanted something to do after school

405

15:04 ,687 --> 00:15:05,329

Milana Vayntrub: and after work.

406

15:05 ,480 --> 00:15:10,781

Milana Vayntrub: So I just auditioned for a couple shows and

407

15:11 ,704 --> 00:15:12,988

Milana Vayntrub: really got entrenched in the theater

408

15:13 ,008 --> 00:15:15,106

Milana Vayntrub: program And I went to UC San Diego, which I

409

15:15 ,146 --> 00:15:16,962

Milana Vayntrub: didn't know this even when I applied,

410

15:17 ,002 --> 00:15:18,608

Milana Vayntrub: because I had no intention of doing theater

411

15:18 ,680 --> 00:15:19,283

Milana Vayntrub: when I applied.

412

15:19 ,840 --> 00:15:21,907

Milana Vayntrub: But they have an incredible theater program.

413

15:22 ,620 --> 00:15:24,387

Milana Vayntrub: Well, because of the La Jolla Playhouse and

414

15:24 ,407 --> 00:15:26,063

Milana Vayntrub: the Old Globe Theater, there's a lot of

415

15:26 ,605 --> 00:15:29,283

Milana Vayntrub: great theater directors that come through

416

15:30 ,600 --> 00:15:32,347

Milana Vayntrub: And the La Jolla Playhouse I'm not sure if

417

15:32 ,387 --> 00:15:35,227

Milana Vayntrub: you know, but it's launched a lot of shows

418

15:35 ,267 --> 00:15:36,570

Milana Vayntrub: that have gone to Broadway.

419

15:37 ,240 --> 00:15:40,843

Milana Vayntrub: So yeah, and the La Jolla Playhouse is on

420

15:40 ,924 --> 00:15:48,050

Milana Vayntrub: the UCSD campus And so I just got to assist

421

15:48 ,290 --> 00:15:51,146

Milana Vayntrub: directors and direct my own little student

422

15:51 ,186 --> 00:15:55,345

Milana Vayntrub: plays, and that's when I really got the

423

15:55 ,465 --> 00:15:59,594

Milana Vayntrub: feeling of collaboration.

424

15:59 ,800 --> 00:16:01,825

Milana Vayntrub: How beautiful collaboration is, how

425

16:00 Using Art to Fight Depression

16:01 ,865 --> 00:16:07,846

Milana Vayntrub: beautiful creative contribution is, the

426

16:07 ,906 --> 00:16:12,821

Milana Vayntrub: power of art, the power of story, what it

427

16:12 ,861 --> 00:16:14,708

Milana Vayntrub: can do for other people, and then also just

428

16:14 ,768 --> 00:16:18,868

Milana Vayntrub: how good it feels on my brain to be in

429

16:19 ,249 --> 00:16:23,023

Milana Vayntrub: generation, to be generating, see you.

430

16:29 ,057 --> 00:16:30,881

Marc Preston: Well, you brought up something I thought is

431

16:31 ,081 --> 00:16:31,723

Marc Preston: really interesting.

432

16:31 ,750 --> 00:16:33,778

Marc Preston: I'd love for you to kind of elaborate.

433

16:33 ,870 --> 00:16:36,939

Marc Preston: But you said it is a means of battling

434

16:36 ,979 --> 00:16:39,113

Marc Preston: depression And I've never of all the people

435

16:39 ,153 --> 00:16:40,856

Marc Preston: I've spoken with, I've never really had

436

16:40 ,937 --> 00:16:44,303

Marc Preston: somebody articulated like that.

437

16:44 ,830 --> 00:16:46,174

Marc Preston: I'm just kind of curious about how that

438

16:46 ,274 --> 00:16:48,320

Marc Preston: came together, for you to think, oh, this

439

16:48 ,360 --> 00:16:49,151

Marc Preston: is something I can do.

440

16:49 ,211 --> 00:16:50,415

Marc Preston: that's actually, like you said, going to

441

16:50 ,695 --> 00:16:51,618

Marc Preston: feel good on your brain.

442

16:51 ,738 --> 00:16:52,841

Marc Preston: How did that come together?

443

16:53 ,552 --> 00:16:54,756

Milana Vayntrub: I think there's two separate bits.

444

16:55 ,370 --> 00:16:58,417

Milana Vayntrub: One is that it's a very social activity

445

16:58 ,938 --> 00:17:00,910

Milana Vayntrub: that you kind of have to make friends, you

446

17:00 ,930 --> 00:17:03,239

Milana Vayntrub: kind of have to have deeper conversations.

447

17:03 ,350 --> 00:17:06,938

Milana Vayntrub: You spend many, many hours together in

448

17:06 ,978 --> 00:17:08,862

Milana Vayntrub: rehearsal and then everyone goes and grabs

449

17:08 ,942 --> 00:17:09,483

Milana Vayntrub: bites together.

450

17:09 ,550 --> 00:17:11,115

Milana Vayntrub: So it's where I made a lot of my closest

451

17:11 ,155 --> 00:17:16,059

Milana Vayntrub: friends And I needed more of that social

452

17:16 ,350 --> 00:17:18,258

Milana Vayntrub: And I needed a creative outlet.

453

17:18 ,591 --> 00:17:21,636

Milana Vayntrub: I knew that I needed to be doing something

454

17:21 ,756 --> 00:17:23,720

Milana Vayntrub: other than studying and working.

455

17:29 The Benefits of Play and Improv

17:29 ,237 --> 00:17:32,905

Milana Vayntrub: So play, theater and acting and directing

456

17:32 ,925 --> 00:17:35,170

Milana Vayntrub: it all feels like a form of play which is

457

17:35 ,391 --> 00:17:38,871

Milana Vayntrub: really really healthy And one of the

458

17:40 ,473 --> 00:17:43,658

Milana Vayntrub: scientific proof.

459

17:43 ,678 --> 00:17:46,202

Milana Vayntrub: There's scientific proof around the benefit

460

17:46 ,563 --> 00:17:51,058

Milana Vayntrub: of improv, where it's this time for a

461

17:51 ,118 --> 00:17:54,648

Milana Vayntrub: person to turn off their frontal cortex or

462

17:55 ,049 --> 00:17:57,235

Milana Vayntrub: maybe turn it down, where the part of our

463

17:57 ,275 --> 00:18:01,207

Milana Vayntrub: brain that we use to apologize and analyze

464

18:01 ,288 --> 00:18:03,613

Milana Vayntrub: ourselves and watch ourselves actually

465

18:03 ,633 --> 00:18:06,419

Milana Vayntrub: becomes a lot less useful during improv and

466

18:06 ,439 --> 00:18:07,060

Milana Vayntrub: during play.

467

18:08 ,830 --> 00:18:13,598

Milana Vayntrub: And so I needed less like doing theater in

468

18:13 ,638 --> 00:18:16,102

Milana Vayntrub: a way actually made me less self-conscious.

469

18:18 ,572 --> 00:18:21,957

Milana Vayntrub: So there's that side, there's the science

470

18:22 ,037 --> 00:18:25,014

Milana Vayntrub: and the social, and then also there is, i

471

18:25 ,034 --> 00:18:27,761

Milana Vayntrub: think, that that science is the thing that

472

18:27 ,821 --> 00:18:31,431

Milana Vayntrub: happens for me when I'm directing And I

473

18:31 ,511 --> 00:18:32,755

Milana Vayntrub: think also when I'm improvising.

474

18:32 ,815 --> 00:18:34,420

Milana Vayntrub: But there's like a problem solving.

475

18:34 ,870 --> 00:18:38,076

Milana Vayntrub: You kind of have to be present, because you

476

18:38 ,237 --> 00:18:41,483

Milana Vayntrub: are just actively listening and problem

477

18:41 ,523 --> 00:18:43,795

Milana Vayntrub: solving, you're just putting together a

478

18:43 ,855 --> 00:18:44,257

Milana Vayntrub: puzzle.

479

18:45 ,870 --> 00:18:52,400

Milana Vayntrub: So that feeling and that task feels really

480

18:54 ,043 --> 00:18:55,325

Milana Vayntrub: nurturing for my head.

481

18:56 ,553 --> 00:18:57,818

Marc Preston: Oh, I love that, I really do.

482

18:58 ,170 --> 00:19:00,717

Marc Preston: I mean, I've been coaching voiceover for 20,

483

19:01 ,158 --> 00:19:04,378

Marc Preston: just over 20 years And one of the things

484

19:04 ,479 --> 00:19:05,725

Marc Preston: some students are a little bit more

485

19:05 ,745 --> 00:19:07,232

Marc Preston: difficult than others to kind of get the

486

19:07 ,332 --> 00:19:09,157

Marc Preston: idea across, but the idea that words are

487

19:09 ,178 --> 00:19:11,213

Marc Preston: powered by emotion And you kind of have to

488

19:11 ,233 --> 00:19:13,520

Marc Preston: get your I call it your thinky side out of

489

19:13 ,540 --> 00:19:13,821

Marc Preston: the way.

490

19:15 ,052 --> 00:19:17,398

Marc Preston: You know, and maybe you're much more in a

491

19:17 ,618 --> 00:19:19,042

Marc Preston: more eloquent scientific way, kind of

492

19:19 ,082 --> 00:19:20,795

Marc Preston: elaborated and like I'm very intrigued now

493

19:20 ,855 --> 00:19:21,237

Marc Preston: by that.

494

19:21 ,671 --> 00:19:23,777

Marc Preston: But yeah, I think it's, you can whatever's

495

19:23 ,817 --> 00:19:25,321

Marc Preston: going on in your life, can't you also just

496

19:25 ,370 --> 00:19:27,998

Marc Preston: kind of tune it out while you're playing

497

19:28 ,018 --> 00:19:28,640

Marc Preston: with other people?

498

19:29 ,030 --> 00:19:30,695

Marc Preston: So, no matter what's going on externally,

499

19:31 ,256 --> 00:19:32,500

Marc Preston: you can kind of at least depart for a

500

19:32 ,560 --> 00:19:32,841

Marc Preston: moment.

501

19:33 ,030 --> 00:19:34,874

Marc Preston: So I kind of found that to be somewhat

502

19:34 ,914 --> 00:19:37,059

Marc Preston: therapeutic over the years at times.

503

19:38 ,731 --> 00:19:40,216

Marc Preston: But you mentioned directing.

504

19:41 ,030 --> 00:19:43,676

Marc Preston: Was that like stage stuff or were you

505

19:43 ,716 --> 00:19:46,101

Marc Preston: directing like the 48 hour film festival

506

19:46 ,141 --> 00:19:46,642

Marc Preston: type of things?

507

19:47 ,030 --> 00:19:49,217

Marc Preston: What kind of projects were you putting

508

19:49 ,257 --> 00:19:49,538

Marc Preston: together?

509

19:51 ,752 --> 00:19:55,879

Milana Vayntrub: Student plays at first, which was amazing

510

19:55 ,940 --> 00:19:57,903

Milana Vayntrub: and so fun and good for me.

511

19:58 ,910 --> 00:20:02,197

Milana Vayntrub: And then I got to assist a few of the

512

20:02 ,899 --> 00:20:05,452

Milana Vayntrub: bigger directors that came into town And

513

20:05 ,472 --> 00:20:07,879

Milana Vayntrub: one of them took me to New York with him to

514

20:07 ,939 --> 00:20:10,114

Milana Vayntrub: assist And I really got a sense of what

515

20:10 ,615 --> 00:20:12,359

Milana Vayntrub: theater is like in the big Apple.

516

20:14 ,651 --> 00:20:18,180

Milana Vayntrub: And but really I think the biggest takeaway

517

20:18 ,561 --> 00:20:21,650

Milana Vayntrub: is that theater, especially in college, is

518

20:21 ,770 --> 00:20:24,051

Milana Vayntrub: just like all hands on deck Everybody's

519

20:24 ,071 --> 00:20:26,442

Milana Vayntrub: doing everything and you learn so much and

520

20:26 ,482 --> 00:20:29,193

Milana Vayntrub: you everyone benefits from a group dynamic

521

20:30 ,156 --> 00:20:31,219

Milana Vayntrub: and from creating.

522

20:31 ,950 --> 00:20:35,920

Milana Vayntrub: So when I graduated and I decided to act

523

20:37 ,223 --> 00:20:39,328

Milana Vayntrub: and I wanted to act right and direct I

524

20:39 ,869 --> 00:20:42,094

Milana Vayntrub: realized that a lot of it requires begging

525

20:42 ,675 --> 00:20:48,716

Milana Vayntrub: people for opportunities And I hadn't been

526

20:48 ,736 --> 00:20:50,881

Milana Vayntrub: doing that in college because I was just

527

20:50 ,941 --> 00:20:51,763

Milana Vayntrub: always able to make.

528

20:51 ,950 --> 00:20:56,541

Milana Vayntrub: So I started to just make things out in the

529

20:56 ,581 --> 00:20:56,902

Milana Vayntrub: world.

530

20:57 ,110 --> 00:20:57,451

Milana Vayntrub: That was the.

531

20:57 ,571 --> 00:20:59,155

Milana Vayntrub: That was the biggest skill that college

532

20:59 ,195 --> 00:21:01,890

Milana Vayntrub: gave me wasn't necessarily any class, it

533

21:01 ,950 --> 00:21:05,359

Milana Vayntrub: was the ability to generate.

534

21:06 ,270 --> 00:21:08,030

Marc Preston: Now were you a good student, though, or I

535

21:08 ,051 --> 00:21:08,953

Marc Preston: mean outside of theater.

536

21:08 ,973 --> 00:21:10,777

Marc Preston: we know you're a good theater student, so

537

21:10 ,797 --> 00:21:11,037

Marc Preston: you're just.

538

21:11 ,077 --> 00:21:11,879

Milana Vayntrub: No, i wasn't.

539

21:12 ,020 --> 00:21:13,302

Milana Vayntrub: I wasn't even a good theater student.

540

21:13 ,750 --> 00:21:14,011

Milana Vayntrub: I was.

541

21:14 ,573 --> 00:21:15,677

Milana Vayntrub: I was a good performer.

542

21:16 ,510 --> 00:21:17,514

Milana Vayntrub: I was like I was.

543

21:17 ,876 --> 00:21:20,727

Milana Vayntrub: I learned my lines and I showed up on time

544

21:20 ,747 --> 00:21:21,449

Milana Vayntrub: and I did the work.

545

21:21 ,530 --> 00:21:23,876

Milana Vayntrub: But I was never a good student in anything

546

21:23 ,936 --> 00:21:25,380

Milana Vayntrub: really Maybe in math.

547

21:25 ,870 --> 00:21:26,993

Milana Vayntrub: I was like I had a period where I was a

548

21:27 ,034 --> 00:21:28,558

Milana Vayntrub: good math student, but that didn't last

549

21:28 ,598 --> 00:21:28,919

Milana Vayntrub: very long.

550

21:29 ,651 --> 00:21:31,631

Marc Preston: Oh, for me, no, neither My.

551

21:31 ,892 --> 00:21:33,740

Marc Preston: My kids talk about pre-calculus and You

552

21:33 ,760 --> 00:21:35,345

Marc Preston: know it's really sobering when your kids

553

21:35 ,586 --> 00:21:37,851

Marc Preston: surpass a time like where you like I got

554

21:37 ,892 --> 00:21:38,320

Marc Preston: nothing for you.

555

21:38 ,360 --> 00:21:40,247

Marc Preston: I can't help you, you know so it's like a

556

21:40 ,287 --> 00:21:40,729

Marc Preston: big joke.

557

21:41 ,301 --> 00:21:42,586

Marc Preston: My daughter will tell me what she's working

558

21:42 ,646 --> 00:21:43,108

Marc Preston: on at college.

559

21:43 ,140 --> 00:21:44,601

Marc Preston: I'm like you need any help on that, cause

560

21:44 ,641 --> 00:21:47,028

Marc Preston: she knows I'm of no use whatsoever, you

561

21:47 ,048 --> 00:21:47,209

Marc Preston: know.

562

21:47 ,249 --> 00:21:49,144

Milana Vayntrub: Yeah, well, i think what's interesting

563

21:49 ,184 --> 00:21:49,585

Milana Vayntrub: about that?

564

21:49 ,645 --> 00:21:53,163

Milana Vayntrub: I mean, i have a kid now too and I've been

565

21:53 ,183 --> 00:21:55,808

Milana Vayntrub: thinking a lot about his education and what

566

21:55 ,868 --> 00:21:59,134

Milana Vayntrub: kind of experiences I want to impart.

567

21:59 ,620 --> 00:22:03,587

Milana Vayntrub: And I am, and my husband and I differ here

568

22:03 ,667 --> 00:22:08,314

Milana Vayntrub: because he has his masters and I never got

569

22:08 ,334 --> 00:22:10,385

Milana Vayntrub: good grades in anything, so I'm like I

570

22:10 ,426 --> 00:22:12,500

Milana Vayntrub: don't really care if he goes to college.

571

22:12 ,701 --> 00:22:15,792

Milana Vayntrub: Why would he ever need to know pre-calculus,

572

22:15 ,852 --> 00:22:18,100

Milana Vayntrub: unless he's really excited about you know,

573

22:18 ,444 --> 00:22:19,540

Milana Vayntrub: unless he wants to be a physicist?

574

22:19 ,982 --> 00:22:20,523

Milana Vayntrub: Yeah.

575

22:20 ,744 --> 00:22:22,069

Marc Preston: I'm the exact same way.

576

22:22 ,502 --> 00:22:23,931

Marc Preston: I think it's so ridiculous that you force

577

22:23 ,992 --> 00:22:25,662

Marc Preston: kids and it's really advanced math Now if

578

22:25 ,682 --> 00:22:27,612

Marc Preston: they have an aptitude for it or a desire or

579

22:27 ,673 --> 00:22:29,743

Marc Preston: career they want to do or go into, that

580

22:29 ,824 --> 00:22:31,543

Marc Preston: needs, that Yeah.

581

22:31 ,583 --> 00:22:33,334

Marc Preston: But it's like I feel like all I did is push

582

22:33 ,354 --> 00:22:34,240

Marc Preston: my GPA down.

583

22:34 ,381 --> 00:22:35,716

Marc Preston: I mean I could have stopped at algebra and

584

22:35 ,736 --> 00:22:36,040

Marc Preston: been good.

585

22:36 ,160 --> 00:22:37,806

Marc Preston: I don't even know if I've used algebra in

586

22:37 ,826 --> 00:22:40,706

Marc Preston: the last 30 years, so but that's.

587

22:41 ,101 --> 00:22:42,306

Milana Vayntrub: It's not applicable.

588

22:43 ,182 --> 00:22:45,282

Milana Vayntrub: I find it to be not applicable And I find

589

22:45 ,663 --> 00:22:49,074

Milana Vayntrub: the regurgitation to be useless as well,

590

22:49 ,996 --> 00:22:51,662

Milana Vayntrub: when they could be spending their time

591

22:51 ,762 --> 00:22:54,735

Milana Vayntrub: learning something that would benefit them

592

22:54 ,996 --> 00:22:56,443

Milana Vayntrub: or that just or just would make them more

593

22:56 ,523 --> 00:22:56,985

Milana Vayntrub: interesting.

594

22:57 ,262 --> 00:22:58,639

Milana Vayntrub: Like it doesn't have to be.

595

22:58 ,781 --> 00:23:00,150

Milana Vayntrub: You don't have to spend that time learning

596

23:00 ,191 --> 00:23:01,962

Milana Vayntrub: how to file your taxes, which would be a

597

23:02 ,042 --> 00:23:04,787

Milana Vayntrub: very useful skill, But it could just be

598

23:04 ,848 --> 00:23:07,404

Milana Vayntrub: like astrology, It could just be whatever

599

23:07 ,444 --> 00:23:10,376

Milana Vayntrub: it is you're weirdly interested in.

600

23:10 ,456 --> 00:23:11,380

Milana Vayntrub: Spend that time.

601

23:11 ,580 --> 00:23:13,325

Milana Vayntrub: Invest your life in the things that are

602

23:13 ,405 --> 00:23:16,413

Milana Vayntrub: interesting to you is my TED talk.

603

23:16 ,843 --> 00:23:18,377

Marc Preston: I think we're moving in that direction a

604

23:18 ,418 --> 00:23:18,680

Marc Preston: little bit.

605

23:18 ,861 --> 00:23:20,289

Marc Preston: I mean, when you look at how much college

606

23:20 ,329 --> 00:23:22,240

Marc Preston: is costing and how little return on

607

23:22 ,381 --> 00:23:24,047

Marc Preston: investment people are ultimately getting

608

23:24 ,147 --> 00:23:26,631

Marc Preston: from it, And like my kids, I'm glad because

609

23:26 ,651 --> 00:23:28,160

Marc Preston: they're getting actual professors.

610

23:28 ,361 --> 00:23:30,050

Marc Preston: But when I was in college I remember

611

23:30 ,110 --> 00:23:31,658

Marc Preston: teaching assistants were teaching a lot of

612

23:31 ,678 --> 00:23:32,080

Marc Preston: the classes.

613

23:32 ,120 --> 00:23:34,206

Marc Preston: I'm like I kind of felt like, well, I'm

614

23:34 ,226 --> 00:23:35,931

Marc Preston: paying for a professor, Why shouldn't I?

615

23:36 ,091 --> 00:23:36,212

Announcer: Yeah.

616

23:36 ,881 --> 00:23:38,309

Marc Preston: Somebody used to live there.

620

23:40 ,481 --> 00:23:42,248

Marc Preston: Where did you like to hang out out there?

621

23:42 ,864 --> 00:23:44,380

Milana Vayntrub: Um, I think it's just the beach.

622

23:44 ,601 --> 00:23:46,447

Milana Vayntrub: I lived at Wendon Sea for a second.

623

23:47 ,209 --> 00:23:48,823

23:56 ,974 --> 00:23:58,640

Milana Vayntrub: You know, my rent was $450.

628

23:59 ,143 --> 00:24:00,610

Milana Vayntrub: a room and, um, and we had another roommate

630

24:03 ,503 --> 00:24:07,132

Milana Vayntrub: and my rent was so cheap and I lived at the

631

24:07 ,152 --> 00:24:10,449

Milana Vayntrub: beach, I could make a cup of coffee and

632

24:10 ,750 --> 00:24:13,159

Milana Vayntrub: take it with me on the beach and it would

633

24:13 ,199 --> 00:24:13,480

Milana Vayntrub: still be hot.

634

24:14 ,244 --> 00:24:16,198

Marc Preston: My, i had a dog and we did the exact same

635

24:16 ,219 --> 00:24:18,007

Marc Preston: thing, man, and we did something about,

636

24:18 ,047 --> 00:24:20,739

Marc Preston: like, i love the San Diego beaches, you

637

24:20 ,759 --> 00:24:20,840

Marc Preston: know.

638

24:20 ,860 --> 00:24:24,031

Milana Vayntrub: But Oh, and the dog beaches are hilarious.

639

24:24 ,842 --> 00:24:26,632

Milana Vayntrub: I didn't have a dog, but I would go and

640

24:26 ,692 --> 00:24:28,702

Milana Vayntrub: just watch the dogs play because they were

641

24:28 ,863 --> 00:24:29,827

Milana Vayntrub: living their best lives.

642

24:30 ,962 --> 00:24:32,331

Marc Preston: Oh, i still remember there's a place called

643

24:32 ,391 --> 00:24:34,506

Marc Preston: surf dogs Java hut, right across from

24:34 ,566 --> 00:24:36,160

Marc Preston: Hanson surf shop, right on the 101.

645

24:36 ,401 --> 00:24:37,928

Marc Preston: And I'd always go in there and get my

24:37 ,968 --> 00:24:40,279

Marc Preston: coffee and go, you know, hang out on the

647

24:40 ,319 --> 00:24:40,440

Marc Preston: beach.

648

24:40 ,802 --> 00:24:43,054

Marc Preston: And uh, that a lot of people had the bond,

649

24:43 ,214 --> 00:24:44,763

Marc Preston: not bonfires but campfires, they had the

650

24:44 ,784 --> 00:24:45,348

Marc Preston: little setup.

651

24:45 ,408 --> 00:24:46,899

Marc Preston: You know it's like how cool is that hanging

652

24:46 ,919 --> 00:24:46,980

Marc Preston: out?

653

24:47 ,262 --> 00:24:48,474

Marc Preston: Like if you're in high school, you know,

Marc Preston: the beach, you know.

656

24:52 ,748 --> 00:24:54,912

Marc Preston: But so, progression wise, you're out of

657

24:54 ,952 --> 00:24:55,313

Marc Preston: college.

658

24:55 ,782 --> 00:24:58,714

Milana Vayntrub: Both.

662

25:05 ,982 --> 00:25:09,710

Milana Vayntrub: I got a job as a, i was a hostess and a

663

25:09 ,750 --> 00:25:11,780

Milana Vayntrub: waitress and I worked at a smoothie bar and

664

25:11 ,800 --> 00:25:12,602

Milana Vayntrub: I was a nanny.

665

25:12 ,723 --> 00:25:16,953

Milana Vayntrub: and some jobs lasted longer than others,

666

25:18 ,042 --> 00:25:24,038

Milana Vayntrub: but that was my gig while I was going on

667

25:24 ,098 --> 00:25:24,980

Milana Vayntrub: auditions here and there, booking a few

668

25:25 ,844 --> 00:25:28,697

Milana Vayntrub: commercials, a few web series, like little

669

25:28 ,718 --> 00:25:29,180

Milana Vayntrub: things, here and there.

670

25:30 Self-Made Hollywood Success

25:30 ,466 --> 00:25:32,096

Marc Preston: Were you back in Los Angeles at this point

671

25:32 ,137 --> 00:25:32,439

Marc Preston: in time?

672

25:32 ,459 --> 00:25:35,811

Milana Vayntrub: Yes, I came back to Los Angeles after doing

673

25:35 ,952 --> 00:25:39,185

Milana Vayntrub: a play in New York and came back to LA and

674

25:39 ,748 --> 00:25:41,478

Milana Vayntrub: just figuring out how to stay above water

675

25:41 ,498 --> 00:25:49,136

Milana Vayntrub: and pay my rent And then I realized that

676

25:49 ,297 --> 00:25:50,619

Milana Vayntrub: the only way I was going to have any kind

677

25:50 ,640 --> 00:25:53,420

Milana Vayntrub: of success in my life is if I made my own

678

25:53 ,610 --> 00:25:54,011

Milana Vayntrub: anything.

679

25:55 ,073 --> 00:25:56,655

Milana Vayntrub: And this was around the time where YouTube

680

25:56 ,675 --> 00:25:57,997

Milana Vayntrub: was really becoming a thing.

681

26:00 ,086 --> 00:26:03,016

Milana Vayntrub: And I had a few friends from UCB, the

682

26:03 ,036 --> 00:26:05,926

Milana Vayntrub: Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, who I

683

26:06 ,849 --> 00:26:08,937

Milana Vayntrub: credit with my success and I still think is

684

26:08 ,957 --> 00:26:09,760

Milana Vayntrub: I mean UCB theater.

685

26:11 ,003 --> 00:26:12,166

Marc Preston: Oh, you studied at UCB.

686

26:12 ,567 --> 00:26:13,369

Milana Vayntrub: I did yeah.

687

26:13 ,590 --> 00:26:13,931

Marc Preston: Oh, okay.

688

26:14 ,923 --> 00:26:16,490

Milana Vayntrub: Yeah, when I came back to LA, i had a

689

26:16 ,570 --> 00:26:18,680

Milana Vayntrub: friend take me there and I thought it was

690

26:18 ,800 --> 00:26:20,344

Milana Vayntrub: absolutely magic and I signed up for

691

26:20 ,384 --> 00:26:23,212

Milana Vayntrub: classes and I've done their whole program

692

26:23 ,381 --> 00:26:26,337

Milana Vayntrub: and I would do it again and I love

693

26:26 ,377 --> 00:26:26,940

Milana Vayntrub: performing there.

694

26:27 ,461 --> 00:26:28,182

Milana Vayntrub: I really think it's.

695

26:30 ,346 --> 00:26:33,693

Milana Vayntrub: It's the only piece of advice I would give

696

26:33 ,953 --> 00:26:41,508

Milana Vayntrub: every actor is to study improv And so, yes,

697

26:41 ,588 --> 00:26:43,993

Milana Vayntrub: so I lived next to UCB theater.

698

26:44 ,120 --> 00:26:46,741

Milana Vayntrub: I worked there, i worked near it, i

699

26:46 ,862 --> 00:26:50,816

Milana Vayntrub: performed there and I realized, well, i

700

26:50 ,856 --> 00:26:52,161

Milana Vayntrub: started to see a lot of the people around

701

26:52 ,201 --> 00:26:55,109

Milana Vayntrub: me make their own videos and I was like I

702

26:55 ,129 --> 00:26:55,831
