“And I’m lucky he has all his teeth”. This interview could not end any better.
Absolutely!!! Just brilliant!! I'm still laughing!!
Wow. Watchig Dax's interview about Kristen and then this video is so amazing. They both end up talking about how amazing the influence the other had on them...healthiest relationship hands down.
It is also very good to hear people with such a healthy relatioship that they did not start that way. They had both a lot of preconceived ideas about a lot of things, and they had to work through them, and they went to therapy, to arrive at that point.
It shows that you don't have to be perfect, you can become exactly how you need to be with help of other people. And that working on a relationship, going through hard times, is not stupid.
@@matthiashavrez So well said, and I'd only add the importance of forgiveness in their worldviews.
she's so well-spoken
dont say that to a minority.
@@ghostisblack but they said this about a woman...would never happen to a dude...so there!!
She is very eloquent
Except for "pedestool" lol
What about the host? He's well spoken too. What about Dax S.? He was well spoken too...
You can tell she has done some great therapy. Solid foundation right here. Happy for her!
Anyone with symptoms of mental health issues should check out the Andrew Cutler protocol. Google «andy cutler rebecca rust lee» for a great article explaining the protocol, and search for the success stories, and «what not to do» as there are things that you might be taking that is hurting you, like cilantro and chlorella. Wish you all the best
@@siriolsen7805 yep, I'm filled with rage and sadness because of the one sprig of cilantro I eat a week. This is such an insulting outlook.
K: “I grew up thinking the world was black and white”.
S: “Welcome to my channel”.
S: "Well you're not wrong..." ;-)
Hands down the best interviews ever are on this channel.
+JohnFelipo 100%. Complete honesty.
They're damn good....but i can't sleep on "In the Actor's Theater"
There are some AMAZING interviews on there.
Yeah, it's the informality of the setting combined with Sam's "therapist/BFF" vibe that makes these interviews really compelling. Notice how little Sam speaks compared to other interviewers?
Haha! This is all celeb gossip. They're excellent interviews but the best ever? Ahahaha. You need to expand your intellect.
Inside The Actors Studio will always be the best interview show. Each interview was approx 40 minutes long, but when Robin Williams came on they had to bump it up to 90
I love that she called addiction a disease because many people don’t think that even though it truly is one. I respect her so much more now after binge watching many many interviews of her and Dax!
it's a choice, not a disease. I am an addict.
1. She is breathtakingly beautiful.
2. This is a gorgeously raw interview that I thoroughly enjoyed.
3. The cinematography and director choices were so smart.
It’s ironic how different she is from her Good Place character haha She is so beautiful inside & out
Well now Eleanor is good, but yes I totally get your point
@@kaylasheppard7746 SPOILER!!! :D
Her insanely likeable persona made the show work. I couldn't help rooting for her.
Bell's description of her upbringing as "Pleasantville" hit me. I grew up the same way and it doesn't make for a good, or congruent, introduction into the real world.
This is so relatable it makes me want to cry... like Kirsten, I had a very strong mindset in terms of seeing everything in black and white. I was raised in a good environment surrounded by good people, and I grew up thinking that everyone/everything that wasn't in the category of what I thought was "good" was automatically "bad". I grew up with that mindset until I was a freshman in high school and my parents moved our family to a new city that wasn't so good and proper... I immediately thought everyone at my new school was "ratchet" just because they acted so differently to the people I was used to. I told myself that I would just focus on my studies for the next four years and not make any friends, because if I do they would tarnish my sweet and innocent personality. Fuck, was I wrong lmao. I was exposed to so many people from all different backgrounds, and it made me scared because I met some really nice people and later I would find out they used drugs and drank or something. Everything was out of my comfort zone and I just didn't know what to do with myself... thankfully I met a bunch of great people who really opened my eyes and helped me see that not everyone you meet in life is purely "good" or "bad". Just because someone makes mistakes does not make them a bad person... we are all humans who deserved to be defined by our character, not our actions. I'm so thankful of my school for helping me become more open minded and I'm so glad there's celebrities like Kristen who are great role models to people everywhere.
Raye Ann Abante great comment 🙌🏻
THIS!! I so relate to everything you said here & what Kristen described.
Some people also have horrible upbringings with no support network. People often don't have the mechanisms to cope, and turn to who is around or try to numb themselves. I think anyone willing to accept the reality of what people are, are much fuller people than those that judge and want to be in a bubble. A lot of people I'm closest to have had real struggles, and they are there for me the most, and so much more compassionate and appreciative because of it.
UsandEveryoneWeKnow Well said!
I agree until I got to the point of character versus actions. I do think our actions define us, because people are so glib with words and we live in a world of buzz words, and manipulation through words and images. But actions seem to me to be more solid, something I can really see and this when thinking for example, of a political candidate, I think, “what have you DONE for this community”, for example. However, certainly all of us are human and it would be near I,possible to find someone that did not goof up, take a wrong turn, err and err again in life. Perfection is not in our nature. yet for me, words are tricky.
She is a genius. From now on im watching every movie she is in.
Genius???!!
shes fake and annoying
Hahahaha this _must_ be a joke.
Tek Gid umm what ?
She's elegantly but eloquently carrying the philosophical mantle of Aristotle and Plato. She's about to reveal to us all the intricate moral loopholes of a shifting universe. She's the ying to our failing yang. She's dang dang dang.
Great interview, definitely made me respect Kristen Bell a little more, although I liked her before.
“He Rerouted all my neurons” I love it 🥰
she's very human, and that's why we like her.
like bruce wayne is too.
This resonates with me tremendously. Navigating the grey has been one of the singular most difficult thing I had to do as an adult. Still learning. Still growing.
Grey is so much more beautiful than simple black and white :D but also trust your instincts because not everyone has or is willing to change.
Amen to that ☺
Same ♡
That's great that people like you exist, but strange to me. I am a writer and I live in the grey. Literally. It's hard for me to imagine people not seeing everything as shades of grey. It's also frustrating at times, people who see everything as black and white.
“It’s harder when everything’s grey” awesome quote
She’s so introspective, I love it. I need to get to her level!
0:06 proof that a relationship as beautiful as theirs took work from both sides
It's so amazing being able to watch this now after watching "The Good Place". It makes me think that this kind of thoughts helped her to get the role, idk
or the show helped her too! bothways!
your interviews are so honest 😍 great job! keep them coming 😍
How sweet can a thing be, that she saw so much in Dax that she opened up her world view to accept that good people make mistakes but that doesn't define their good. Her love made her grow.
it's relieving for me to find someone who think and feel like I do. Kristen Bell, you just gained a fan in me.
The off camera show is so refreshing!, an emotionally intelligent interviewer having genuine conversations with adults, so much more fulfilling and enriching than any gossip magazine interview, well done!
How refreshingly honest! Didn't think I could love her more 🖤🖤
❤️I absolutely love listening to this couple. Such an amazing dynamic together. So much happiness and love they show as a couple. ❤️
This is a good show. 👍 Keep it up.. Honest conversation
Great interview. I already liked her as Veronica Mars (if only this show had more episodes!), but now seeing her in this interview, she´s even better.nice!
the grading on these are so good
wow - wonderful interview :)
The irony of this whole video: it's in black & white lol. I adore Kristen Bell and always have. We have so much in common actually. Like her I grew up in a similar circumstance where my family was incredibly religious and was taught everything was either right or wrong, no in-between. Also I grew up in a very quaint little town where essentially everyone was your neighbor and knew your life story. When I went out into the so-called real world, I had a different perspective than let's say someone who was raised in inner city New York or Chicago. Like her, I was taught drugs were bad, that you only drank when the occasion called for it, every Sunday you went to church and your entire family sat down to eat dinner together (no exceptions). That was my life. If I were to have met someone like Dax Shepard, I probably wouldn't have given him a chance like Kristen did.
@@cj2130 My parents raised my siblings and I with Christian morals and values in mind. As a Christian myself, I find absolutely nothing wrong with that. We're they strict with us? Definitely! In their defense, though, it was because they wanted us to go out into the world with the same foundation of great Christian values and morals they were raised with. Unfortunately by the time we were adults, the world had began to fall away from Christianity (something very easy to see now). So today those morals and values they raised us with come off as "high maintenance", "uppity", "judgmental", etc. And my parents come off as extremely controlling and tyrannical. At least that's how it's viewed by a society that lacks a Christian upbringing.
I actually had a wonderful childhood that I wouldn't trade with anyone. See not only were my parents very Christian, but they were very wealthy. I'm the youngest in a family with, not even exaggerating, millions of dollars. My siblings and I grew up in a mansion and got everything we wanted. It was a very privileged upbringing. Now I am actually guilty of complaining about how incredibly controlled my childhood was. What I realize now is that I have no room to complain. My life was fantastic growing up, truly. I honestly don't know what it's like to struggle at all. Yet there are people I know personally who really struggled (for example, only being to take one shower a month because they couldn't afford their hot water bill). I grew up in a family where we didn't just have the basic necessities; we had whatever we wanted. I would come off as a hypocrite if I complained about that.
@@BreannaMae I had to bathe out of a crab pot for 10 months because we couldn't afford a new hot water heater for almost a year. We would heat up water on the stove. Had to scrimp and save. This just happened to me about five years ago. Are you for real? You don't seem real.
"I'm lucky he has all of his teeth!!" 😂😂😂
wow that's an amazing woman!!
Shes very pretty.
Such a deep conversation.
Very impressive honesty and courage to face yourself like that. My hats off to you.
It took me so long to realize she's wearing a sweater.
therapy teaches couples how to be empathatic towards one another, because 95% of toxic relationships envlove 1 empathetic and 1 narcissistic.
She is witty, honest and deserves the best. Great interview.
Kristen Bell is such a sweetheart ❤💙💚💛💜💓💕💖💗💘💝💞💟!
nah she's a celebrity
Did she just say 'pedal stool' instead of pedestal (2:12)? Reminds of a scene in IT crowd haha
Nice cut at the end there XD
She is one of the handful of good hearted people in the world we NEED in order to keep our sanity and love of each other alive as humans.
Cynics, realists and negative people are all a part of the balance but people like her keep us truly balanced as a society.
We are lucky for having them and even more so that after living in our shit world they still manage to keep their amazing perspective of life and the universe as a whole.
I just feel like over the years with global communication, technology and mass media we have lost a lot of those people to pressures and over stimulation to all of the things in the world to the point that all it becomes is a blur of negativity.
Incredible people. Not your typical Hollywood superstars. Real people that can relate. Love em.
This is amazing! absolutely love it!
So enlightening
I loved this!
I love her honesty.
I respect her so much for reflecting her dream-like upbringing! I think it's just as hard as reflecting an awful upbringing, if not harder. I grew up in a very similar place and a lot of people from back then to this day can't stop seeing the world so black and white.
Great show, because people don't have time to read autobiographies and oh my there are so many life stories that are so mindbending that people don't realize and the similarity and connections of everybody.
I love their honesty and charisma
That you for the video.
watching so many of these has started to make me think the same
"... and I'm lucky he has all his teeth" 😂😂😂😂 I love her!
She truly is a HomeTown Michigan girl she grew up right down the street by the way we hung out a few times
Dang. Such mature people. I like both her and her husband!
So relatable. I grew up thinking there are squeaky clean folk and bad evil ones. But everyone's both great and terrible and that was so damn hard to accept, but now I think that's just what makes humans so beautiful and interesting.
Dad is one lucky man, and Kristen is one lucky lady. They make a balance. Their children will be awesome! As well as very good looking!
awesome so real and honest
I find it interesting that being raised religiously (assuming Christian) the idea of forgiveness was strange to her.
Is that how bad religion is in parts of the US, that they've completely forsaken the most basic ideas of forgiveness that exist in the gospels?
I also love hearing her speak so candidly about all this. Such a modern enlightened tone to her.
Jervina K. No, this is how Christianity really is. Jesus may forgive, but God is not as forgiving, with millions of rules to get into heaven. It's not as simple as be good. He's a very jealous, angry, and spiteful God. I know humans kinder than that. Christians should have just stuck with Jesus.
Jervina K. Nope. I knew someone would say that. It all depends on the type of Christian you are. Some Christians believe that, many do not.
Jervina K. Also, they're nothing alike, God and Jesus. Old Testament is a dictator's handbook, and the New Testament is suddenly all about forgivness. Critical thinking is really needed when reading The Bible, yet not often utilized, unfortunately. People know it's filled with a ton of inconsistencies, contractions, and crazy behavior, but they overlool it all by turning to Jesus to cover up all the horrible stuff found elsewhere.
Jervina K. Sure have. Critically and with an impartial eye, too. You, not so much.
I do not think forgiveness was strange to her, just maybe an abstract concept that was not grounded to a concrete reality.
When raised in a religious environment you are taught to see the world in black and white, because you are a kid so they teach you in simple terms, good people go to heaven, bad people don't, how do you know who is who? the ten commandments, and so on, also that God is the one who grant forgiveness when you make a public declaration of faith... and as she said, she lived a very protected childhood, so she did not have opportunities to really question what she was just learning on paper.
Later, when you grow up and go out to the world, you begin to confront your experiences with what is supposed to be and what it is, it is no longer a religion learned by ear it becomes something more alive and it is when one matures spiritually, like Job 42:5 "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee"
With the new experiences comes new information and one grows when confronting the old with the new.
How does one do not get lost on the road? if you are a believer: with faith, letting ourselves be guided by the Holy Spirit.
This process is personal and everyone lives it in their own way and at their own time, in the end the fact that her vision expanded and complemented i think is the proof of her personal growth :)
Pedastool lol I love when people say that :) She's such a beautiful person. I'm happy her and Dax found each other. Opposites truly do attract. I wish them a long and happy life together.
I love her so much. She is so sweet.
I live between Milford and the Detroit Zoo, and I grew up in a religious household, I ride motorcycles, and drink in moderation. Go fig.. Must be something in the Detroit water.
What a open, honest, and well grounded woman Kristen is.
Awesome 😀
Love her. Such a beautiful person.
I'm in love with her eyes
Love her!
That was the most accurate Michigan description EVER.
I can totally relate
So true that life is harder with grey, but it’s more beautiful
I prefer to think of the world as 'Monochrome', it's not black & white, but it would be Nothing without Either!
Beautiful woman inside & out.
How crazy they were both born in MI and that im like 30 mins away from where both of them lived...............
Did anyone else notice that both her and Dax, used the term fallible in reference to the same thing?
I just love her and dax
I guess the one thing Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell shared at the start was their sense of humor. Amazing all the differences between them and how well it is working for them.
I love her.
I find the title funny with the colorless video
I love her
Amen little lady... Amen
She is amazing
She is simply lovely.
She's an angel on Earth
Ladies and gentlemen, one of the best human beings on earth
I also thought the world was black & white, but that's just because I've only ever watched this channel.
She's from Pleasantville?
To forgive is divine.
The title and B&W literally made me think she was colorblind....
She's so perceptive wow
Suffer No Fools What do you mean? I suppose if she was judgemental but she didn't allow herself to be that way. Is that what you mean or am I way off. It's 4 am and I can't I could have read this all wrong. Lol
How deep
I don't look at them and think they will last forever, but I admire that they are trying to make that happen, instead of giving in early and easy.
I love "I grew up very religious" / "I wasn't ever taught to question things"
wow, this woman is basically me
Yes she is funny.
Urgh. I love her!
I'm a lot like her and it's not always a great thing bc you get taken advantage of..
You have to learn the difference between those who have made mistakes in the past and those still making the mistakes or those who are so deep into it that they'll never change. Learn that humanity is full of beautiful and wonderful greys but that you've also got to trust your instincts if you think someone hasn't changed (yet).
I’m glad I watched this, I’ve just been ribbed off in a bar in Budapest. Now, I’m like OK, he knows what he has done, if he needs the money them I hope he does something good with it, pays a bill, buys his kids something they need. Maybe he will feel really bad and not do it again. I’m dyslexic and the money over here confused me a lot but most people were really honest and I’m thankful for that.
She appears to be a beautiful human....
To be honest, Dax DOES look like a Greenpeace worker. :) LOVE this couple!
She is just ridiculously Beautiful.
