“If your parents ask you for the millionth time when you’re going to get married, maybe just say, “I am married. And I don’t want to talk about it.”
Taylor Miller
Susan Sarandon and Rose Byrne play mother and daughter in the new indie comedy-drama The Meddler. In real life, Susan is an experienced mother, while Rose is just starting out on her very own mothering journey. But in addition to being amazing moms, they are both strong, hilarious, and very wise women. So when the duo stopped by BuzzFeed New York to chat about the new film, we enlisted them to dole out some life advice to women everywhere. Here's what we learned.
What's the most annoying thing that your mom ever did to you when you were younger?
Susan Sarandon: My mom had eight children after me, and that was fairly annoying.
Rose Byrne: My mom — I was a pretty naughty teenager, and she would always call up the parents' house of where I said I was going to be at—
SS: I do that. I do that.
RB: Well, I wouldn't be there, and I'd get in trouble. That was pretty annoying at the time.
How should I respond when my family asks me for the millionth time when I'm going to get married?
SS: If your parents ask you for the millionth time when you're going to get married, maybe just say, "I am married. And I don't want to talk about it."
RB: Just lie, I agree.
SS: Or you know what else you could do? Just say that you're going into an order of nuns. And then they'll be so happy that you're not behind a wall somewhere not speaking for the rest of your life, that they'll be happy you're single.
