Cristin Milioti talks ‘The Resort,’ MadeForLove and the status of her debut album.
, echoes Milioti’s musings on nostalgia and the art of staying present.Cristin Milioti regularly leaves home without her phone. The habit began a few years ago, when the actress had plans to meet up with a friend in New York City and forgot to bring her cell. “I got on the train and panicked,” she recalls via Zoom from Puerto Rico, where she is on location filming her upcoming comedy-slash-mystery series,But panic eventually gave way to peace.
Inspired by the writer Virginia Woolf, Milioti decided to make the unexpected episode an intentional recurrence. “I read a quote where she talked about how important it is to take a walk by yourself in the evening,” Milioti says. “I really try to, at least a couple times a week, leave [my phone] at home, take my dog for a walk, and disappear into the world.”
Deepak Chopra has referred to the state of not being present as “time sickness.” Time sickness requires healing through self-awareness practices like meditation, journaling or, in Milioti’s case, ditching your phone for a walk outside. It’s likely that many people have been suffering from time sickness as a result of the pandemic, but even pre-COVID, intense nostalgia had the ability to bring on symptoms of time sickness.
In a break from acting, Milioti, who was once nominated for a Tony Award, released a cover of Bon Iver’s “715 Creeks” last year. Soon after, news broke that she was working on a debut album. But when asked about that album, Milioti admits that she has paused recording sessions. “I got in my own head and didn’t finish it, which I should probably address,” she says. Meanwhile, she’s been listening to singer-songwriters like Kacey Musgraves, Phoebe Bridgers,, and Mitski as of late.
Milioti says she’s a big Fiona Apple fan in particular—so much so that a production designer once made her a custom T-shirt depicting the singer giving her famed acceptance speech during the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards. During this interview, in fact, Milioti wears this very shirt, and speaks at length about the speech, clearly taken with its existential message. “It’s unbelievable. She’s like, ‘This world is bullshit,’” Milioti says. “‘This is all lies. This is all PR.
