Embracing the breeze while on set was the onscreen star’s pearl of wisdom for being a good actor .

“I feel like acting is all about, you have to have your body in this weird malleable state,” she told her co-star. “Never have to pee when you’re doing a scene.”

“Even if you a little bit are like, ‘Maybe I have to pee ,’ just get it all out. Just get whatever fluids out,” the Parks and Recreation actress went on to say. “Be like an empty vessel.… If you don’t wear underwear , it can come out faster. So don’t ever wear underwear in life.”

When Aubrey was asked what she would tell her younger self in real life, the Emmy nominee said her advice would be to drink more water.

“I would really focus on skin care. Hydration. I’d be like — can we just up the hydration?” she joked to People .
