Maya Rudolph Answers Personality Revealing Questions | Proust Questionnaire | Vanity Fair

[Ladybird.]

I love how quickly she responded “my nanny” & her comments about her. Amy Poehler did the same thing at an awards dinner when her kids were younger. Their careers would not have been the same without those women loving & caring for their children while they worked, and it’s so important to acknowledge how important that role is & those caretakers are.

[smytea]

She doesn’t wanna be doing this, and I’m here for it

[dianedegree]

"We live in a time when people wanna know what you smell like." She hit the nail on the head there.

[charismalyn]

Good example - sensitive people often make great leaders because they are protective and caring of those they love. Too often uncaring and commandeering people rise to the top, and they often don't care about those under them. I think her personality answers reveal that <3

[XSAGA]

Maya and her Mother Minnie Ripperton, both beautiful and fantastic voices if you heard her sing.

[hhliebe]

this is the best interview I have ever seen and Maya is so amazing an honest

[BadHattie]

Her fear of sudden death (choking) is understandable but also really sad, given how young she was when she lost her mother.

[karmen]

VF: "What is your current state of mind?"
Maya: "What is my current state of mine?? 🧐"

If this isn't me every time someone asks what I'm thinking about, then I don't know what is

[MarcosIsABaritone]

She's so much more melancholic than one would have thought.

[k_drive]

i love her point about the title "nanny", its been dragged for so long, dragging the ppl who do it and the ppl who hire them when it takes a lot.

[jamiemadison]

This is the realest I’ve ever seen her be and I love it❤️

[mpickering]

I love that she said her nanny was her heroe! I felt that <3

[almedast]

I missed Maya so much on screen. I'm glad you guys called her to answer the questions ❤

[MoniB]

She is so cool and refreshingly honest. 💖

[abigailsalmanac]

I adore her 🤎 I hope she writes a book someday

[pjmlegrande]

Also, she’s one of those actor/performers that always puts me in a mood of giddy anticipation. Love her style.

[duanegoin]

Minnie is one of my Beloved Singers 💖 Maya is Sweet and Beautiful Just like her Mom Minnie Described. God Bless You Maya.

[BenjaminBlak]

Just when I thought I couldn’t love her more! 🤍

[roshanminai]

But I don't think you lied Maya. I think you were quite honest, and I appreciate that. So, I thanks you.
