Luke, you have been in a boatload of wonderful, successful movies. Phillipa, you are a Tony and Emmy nominated and a Grammy winner. Once the two of you hit the places that you are, do you no longer experience imposter syndrome?
I don't own my roles. Phillipa, I wanted to talk to you about the challenges of being in love-- within the context of your character--

Remember, for those of you all that are unaware or never knew, his mother was dead. Philly's an interesting city, because you have a plethora of races.
I get a chill every time I see that. Phillipa Soo, welcome. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having me.

We joined up, as Phil said, Senator Lugar and I, and passed the Nunn-Lugar legislation in actually the late Fall of 1991. Phillip Taubman: '91. Right. Senator Sam Nunn: Right when the empire was coming apart.
