True or false, it's illegal to graffiti someone else's cow?
True. Absolutely true.
Kinsey here for Young Hollywood at South by Southwest. I am sitting here with the girl with the magic fingers. Alicia Ruland. You're in a new movie here at South by Southwest called Apart. Are you very excited about that?
I'm really excited. We actually shot it about a year and a half ago, and it took a lot of time to get it to the perfect place. Listen, okay? These things, they don't mean anything. We're gonna have to get to him first. We're gonna have to. We see these things. No, it wasn't your fault. We're gonna have to stop this. You didn't do anything. I play a a girl with schizophrenia. Wow. And so it was a really deep role for me and an extremely difficult role and I'm really proud of it. And now, um, I'm excited to showcase it.
Can you tell me about any kind of onset pranks? Like any fun stories from the set of Apart?
We had a lot of fun. I pranked the director a lot, Aaron. I really enjoyed teasing him daily. And we had a joke. I'd be like, I don't know, I just I just don't know if I trust you today.
Even though you've had all of this success, you are recognized all over the world, but you still want to have like a normal job. Like you would be willing. I just think that that's really interesting that you'd be willing to do that.
Yeah, I've had a lot of normal jobs. I worked at Nordstrom's boutique department, so cute. For uh, and I was, I used to be a certified nursing assistant, I used to work at an animal doctor, I was a bra specialist for Victoria's Secret. Yes.
I kind of have to play Twitter police with you right now. I know. You're my papa this time. I have not seen you update in over a month. I I you know, I don't really know how to do that that well. We have to get you one of these BlackBerry Playbooks because you can update all of your social media from them. You can take pictures, like we've got to get you on top of this because your audience wants to know what you're doing 24/7. You can like we can just do it right here while we're on Young Hollywood.
I'll do it today. I'll I'll for you, I'll grab my phone and I'll tweet, I'll plug it in and like, hi, I'm at South by Southwest. I'll do it. I promise. But I am starting a web vlog for everyone. Be really excited. And I I cook a lot. So it's gonna be recipes that I try and then I take pictures of them and show you like, oh, was I, were they successful or not.
Do you have any desire to write or direct in the future?
I want to do, um, the story of my parents. I want to write a book of my parents' lives. We're from a little village of like 8,000, no indoor plumbing.
I know. Tell you, like, dealing with BlackBerry's and all this all these different. I'm sure that that's like insane. I wanted to throw some Texas facts at you. True or false.
Oh, boy.
It is illegal to curse in front of a corpse in Texas.
I'm gonna say that's true.
It is true. It's illegal to shoot a buffalo on the second story of a hotel.
You know what? Texas, I'll say that's true.
It's illegal to spit on the sidewalk.
False.
True. Yeah. True or false, it's illegal to graffiti someone else's cow.
True. Absolutely true.
Absolutely true. You're like you're winning, basically.
