Whether you remember Judy Greer from 13 Going on 30<\/em> or The Wedding Planner<\/em>, you most likely know her as “that girl from that movie\/TV show<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

She’s one of Hollywood\u2019s busiest actresses and also happens to be as down-to-earth as she is funny. Greer is currently directing\u00a0a film, maintaining her partnership with Lactaid, and\u00a0filming\u00a0for a few movies. She’s actually so busy that her husband makes her coffee for her (never mind that she actually doesn’t know how to use a coffee machine).<\/p>\n

So of course we were super excited when Greer had a brief moment to chat with us about everything from her directorial debut to her favorite shows on Netflix.<\/p>\n

How did you get involved\u00a0with Lactaid and the \u201cNo More Dairy Envy\u201d campaign?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
\nWell, I have a sensitivity to dairy and I was using Lactaid. They bought it for me at work because it\u2019s real milk, just without the lactose. I was using it in my coffee in the morning and we sort of found each other out there. I was excited because I was always jealous of people that could have dairy and now I can too because of Lactaid — like ice cream, the Lactaid\u00a0milk, and their cottage cheese!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite guilty pleasure when it comes to food?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI love cheese so much, but because of my dairy sensitivity I stopped eating it. My favorite thing is Lactaid’s\u00a0cottage cheese, though. I love it so much. I put it on everything like toast, chili, or soup. I [also] just have scoops of ice cream and make a little sundae with strawberries and hot fudge.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your typical morning routine?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI get up early and the first thing I try to do is meditate. I do transcendental meditation for 20 minutes. While I do that, my husband makes us our coffee. I know I can\u2019t use the coffee maker but why would I if he\u2019s going to\u00a0do that? He always sets the timer to go off when I finish meditating and I\u2019ll have a cup of coffee with Lactaid. And if I have time, I’ll take my dog on a walk or outside to go to the bathroom. It\u2019s gross. I\u2019m never able to sleep in which is a bummer.<\/p>\n

Congrats on your directorial debut! How has it been so far?<\/strong><\/em>
\nWell, it\u2019s definitely spending my brain. I’ve never been a part of this much of it. It’s been really interesting and I’ve been learning so much.\u00a0I\u2019m enjoying crafting the story and all the different components going into it. I love watching all the actors in my movie — I just don\u2019t get sick of it. It\u2019s just stretching myself and finding different ways to be an artist and I really love it. And I get to wear more comfortable shoes which is great. I have tennis shoes now which I never used to wear.<\/p>\n

How do you manage work-life balance despite filming, directing, and just being one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood?<\/strong><\/em>
\nIt\u2019s really hard actually. I\u2019m trying to find one now but I guess my personal life is the quadrant that always gets the least attention. But I’m really working on it and I have the best husband in the world and he\u2019s super supportive. We\u2019re careful to make sure we have date nights scheduled on the calendar. Not like, “let\u2019s hang out this weekend” but we make reservations for dinner and make sure we have that on the books.<\/p>\n

Any shows you\u2019re binge watching on Netflix?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI love Stranger Things <\/em>and\u00a0I watch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt<\/em>. Whenever I\u2019m feeling dark,\u00a0sad, or overwhelmed, I watch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt<\/em> and I\u2019m instantly happier.<\/p>\n

Are there any women in particular who are inspiring you right now?<\/strong><\/em>
\nAll the women in my life really inspire me. [Some] inspire me to be better because they\u2019re not great, and some of them are really great and they inspire me to be more like them. You kind of have to take inspiration from anywhere you can get it. Even from someone who is rubbing you the wrong way.<\/p>\n
