"I don't know enough about daytime, I think, to say anything"
About this Quote
The context matters because Hart is an actress whose career sits adjacent to the machinery of daytime TV without being fully defined by it. Daytime is a coded word here - not literally daylight hours, but a whole cultural lane: soaps, talk shows, promo circuits, the churn of celebrity-adjacent commentary. By saying she can’t “say anything,” she’s also implying that plenty of people do say plenty anyway, and that the performance of opinion is part of the genre. The subtext is a gentle jab at that performativity, delivered with a smile.
It works because it’s defensively proactive. Celebrities are constantly invited to opine outside their lane; Hart sidesteps the trap without sounding sanctimonious. She doesn’t scold the questioner, she shrugs at herself. In a culture addicted to constant commentary, the punchline is that silence becomes its own kind of statement - and a surprisingly savvy one.
