Nintendo Dogz! Yeah, so I would play that cause that was my therapy, and I was like turn it off.\u201d Jake asks, \u201cDid you play it on the DS?\u201d Sophie replies, \u201cI play it on a DS. I got it off eBay but that was kind of my way of shutting off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 16:00 on craziest \u2018Yellowjackets\u2019 theory: \u201cI don\u2019t really pay attention to that. I mean I was on Reddit the first season and all I saw was her roots. She doesn\u2019t have roots and all they would talk about was my hair. I was like just pay attention to my acting. But it was wig because the time it was just like the time was hard to, my hair was really short, and they had to show time yada yada so I wore a wig. And all the comments were on that so I was like \u2018god Damit, I can\u2019t win.\u2019\u201d [\u2026] \u201cThat\u2019s when I stopped my Reddit phase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 29:45 on making music: \u201cIt\u2019s different. There are a lot of similarities. I feel like music is still so foreign to me that it\u2019s more exciting whereas I\u2019ve been acting since I was three years old. I\u2019ve been acting professionally since I was ten. Started with theater so it\u2019s still foreign to me but I have a good sense of what to expect usually when I go into a project. But with music I haven\u2019t even done live shows yet. It\u2019s kind of just a very internal process that when it\u2019s shared it\u2019s way more scary. And I was releasing the songs as I was shooting \u2018Yellowjackets\u2019 and I was so much more stressed out about that over shooting.\u201d [\u2026] \u201cIt\u2019s not my story which people assume a lot of the time that I am Natalie which is interesting but kind of you know it\u2019s going to happen if that\u2019s your first role in anything. But with music it\u2019s my first love. I feel so much more passionately about it. I look up to musicians where it\u2019s like with actors I never really fangirl over actors because I mean I have my inspirations of course and I look up to people but with musicians it\u2019s this other realm of tapping you know into something really, it\u2019s different. It\u2019s very different to me. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>At 31:21 on who are the musicians she looks up to: \u201cA lot of them are gone now. Elliot Smith is my number one. I have an Elliott Smith tattoo, Fiona Apple, Arthur Russell, Cass McCombs, so many people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 36:34 on Juliette Lewis: \u201cWe do talk a lot. I saw her at this Wildfire Benefit show, and I\u2019d never seen her play live. And she\u2019s crazy, she\u2019s a rockstar, she\u2019s like Mick Jagger. That was fun to see her live, but I haven\u2019t seen her in a while. And I miss her, and I definitely feel, it\u2019s interesting watching the show now and feeling the loss of her presence. Because she really does, she fulfills Natalie. She is so much.\u201d Jake asks, \u201cWas it hard to shoot without her? Well not hard but?\u201d Sophie replies, \u201cIt was hard to watch without her. Cause it was hard to get I mean I\u2019ve read the scripts, but you can feel the weight of her not being there because she has so much. She\u2019s such a rich actor and has so much presence onscreen. That of course when you lose an actor like that you feel that. And I feel like, obviously she\u2019s the other half but she\u2019s the other Natalie, she\u2019s such a different Natalie and it\u2019s so interesting to see the comparison between the two of us that to lose that was sad but also, I had to get used to it at some point. A couple episodes in I was like \u2018oh she\u2019s not coming back.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 40:00 on anxiety: \u201cI have a lot of f*cking anxiety, and I get. Well, I get the weird derealization sh*t which is of course, I don\u2019t even want to talk about it or else you start feeling it, where\u2019s it\u2019s my hand and I do that, I have that a lot when I\u2019m doing Q&#038;A\u2019s and when there\u2019s an audience.\u201d [\u2026] \u201cI always have panic attacks at the airport. It\u2019s always when I\u2019m going through security, and I\u2019m not used to getting recognized, but I\u2019ve been getting recognized always when I\u2019m going through security.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The &#8220;Yellowjackets&#8221; star dropped by this week&#8217;s edition of the Jake Shane-hosted podcast.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":169914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[16427,15924,17070,15636],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sophie Thatcher Talks Dogz, Yellowjackets, Music Inspirations, More On &quot;Therapuss&quot; Podcast (Watch Now)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On the heels of the season three &quot;Yellowjackets&quot; finale, star Sophie Thatcher made an appearance on Jake Shane&#039;s &quot;Therapuss&quot; podcast.
