The interviewer will ask her a question and then she has to ask her assistant Stephanie to answer. The interviewer is like WTF?
clip of interview
I ask Ashlee a question. There is a pause, then Ashlee turns to Stephanie.
"What am I afraid of?" Ashlee repeats to her assistant. The camera has been rolling for a few minutes by now.
"Heights?" Stephanie offers.
"No ..." Ashlee says.
"Well, you're not loving rodents, that's for damn sure."
"I know, but I can't say that because PETA will come after me," Ashlee says half-jokingly. She thinks for a good 10 or 15 seconds, her nostrils flare, then she finally puts the mic back up to her mouth and states with authority, "I'm scared of swimming in the ocean, because I'm always afraid that a shark is going to bite my leg." She laughs.
Another question: Knowing what she knows now, what advice would she give to her younger self?
Ashlee thinks for a while, the mic in her lap. "Ummm ... I don't ... what am I going to answer ..."
"Well, you've answered that question before in other interviews when we were overseas," Stephanie says, "and you always say that you would never change anything and that you would always tell yourself to be tough-skinned."
"OK," Ashlee says, "if I were to go back to the beginning of my career, I wouldn't change a thing, because everything that I have learned has made me so much stronger."
So yes, thank goodness for Stephanie.
