Greta Lee (Full Episode) | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend
"There was a time it I really, and I've said this before, I I felt like I had already gone to my own funeral. And it wasn't it wasn't like so desperately sad. It just felt so like fact and I had made peace with it and I was living a great life."
Lee describes a period early in her career when she says she made peace with limited opportunities for “someone like me”, and assumed she would remain a supporting actor to help support her family. She presents the moment as emotionally complex rather than purely despairing, linking it to wider constraints she experienced as an Asian-American performer.
