From an old David Letterman interview with her long, long ago, I learned a cool little life hack:
She moved to the big city and was getting into the entertainment industry, going around with her CV/résumé, trying to get jobs.
The most impressive things on her CV had an * next to them.
At the bottom of the page, it said, “* = l.i.e.”
Only once did someone interviewering her ask her what that means.
She said, “Oh those are lies.”
I like that. Shows it doesn't really matter, and if you're admitting up-front that it's a lie, then it's the interviewer's fault for ignoring it.
- acer4666 2y agoYou're not really admitting it by masking it in an obtuse acronym
- CRConrad 2y agoWith that particular "acronym", it's not it that's obtuse, but the reader who doesn't get it.
- js2 2y ago> She moved to the big city and was getting into the entertainment industry She must have been joking. She grew up in LA. She originally trained as a dancer in NYC but went into acting because she saw dancing as a dead end.
