Palmer has been steadily working in movies and television since she was a child, so she’s spent a lot of time on sets. Even she didn’t realize how many aspects of the various productions she’s been involved in she was taking in all this time. When it came time to write and direct Big Boss, the Lightyear star had decades of experience to draw from.

“I’ve been doing it for so long, that you don’t really know that you’re picking up on every single thing. But I am quite observant. And I guess I really was able to see with this project, just how much I had been taking in,” she said. “All those years of performing, I actually was learning so much and taking in so much. That was really exciting for me to see.”

“Even when I wrote the script, I wasn’t even realizing that I could write a script. When I actually started writing, I’m like, ‘Damn, I guess I do understand this,’” Keke continued. “Then from there, to being on the set…I realized that I was actively learning the process of working on these projects all my life.”

As previously reported by The Root, the singer/actress recently welcomed a baby boy, but it doesn’t seem like motherhood is slowing her down. She revealed she’s about to begin filming Season 2 of the NBC game show Password. She’s also set to co-star in the upcoming film Super Toys with Sacha Baron Cohen.
