Call Her Daddy.<\/a>\u201d \u201cShe did, she got her s\u2014 together a long time ago. And I got to see that you can get your s\u2014 together. So I had a really great example in my mom. And I want a lot of things. Like, I just want a lot of things in this life.\u201d<\/p>\nWhite explained he chose not to let anything stop him from accomplishing family or career things he wants in life.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re being stopped from getting those things, and you\u2019re seeing signs that you\u2019re not getting those things \u2013 if you\u2019re missing your audition, if you\u2019re s\u2014\u2013 on the phone, if you\u2019re reacting poorly,\u201d he said. \u201cYou just gotta focus on it. You gotta have that self-knowledge though.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe consequences are what start pushing that into action,\u201d he told host Alexandra Cooper. \u201cAnd if you don\u2019t have consequences, sometimes you can go on and on and on.\u201d<\/p>\nJackson White and his mother Katey Sagal at a premiere for \u201cMrs. Fletcher\u201d in Los Angeles on Oct. 21, 2019.

\u201cThere\u2019s a little kid thing where you\u2019re like, no, it\u2019s mine. Right?\u201d he told Cooper. \u201cBut then I thought, \u2018Oh yeah, it\u2019s fine. No, it\u2019s great.\u2019 I thought it was really full circle and I thought [Meaghan Oppenheimer] was \u2026 kidding when she said they want to ask [Sagal].\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, \u2018Oh, that\u2019d be hilarious.\u2019 And then they did and \u2026 it worked out.\u201d<\/p>\nKatey Sagal as Gemma Teller in an episode of \u201cSons of Anarchy.\u201d PRASHANT GUPTA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSagal, now 72, became a household name after landing a role in\u00a0\u201cMarried\u2026 With Children.\u201d Fox<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhite also got to work alongside his real-life girlfriend, Grace Van Patten.

Reflecting on working with his mom and girlfriend, White explained it could be difficult not to blur the lines between the show and reality.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want to not let it blend, but I think it does,\u201d he said. \u201cYou do make believe for your job, you\u2019re probably a little f\u2014ed up. And so you take on a little bit of everything and it was hard. It was hard not to let the lines blur.\u201d<\/p>\nWhite also got to work alongside his real-life girlfriend, Grace Van Patten.
