I wish that I had gotten a chance to do another season of [ Gigi Does It], to see if I could explore the story more, or the character more, and also find an easier way to make the show. We never got that opportunity. But I'll always be super, super proud of it.

[Gigi Does It show] flew so drastically under the radar. I kind of hold it in my back pocket as this thing that I got the opportunity to do that no one really knows I did and that I'm really proud of.

There is only so much I can understand and not screw up.
