00:00Is this your first time seeing the film today on the big screen?
00:02It is, and I'm so excited! I can't wait.
00:06What did you think when they brought you this role, or how did you get involved in the movie?
00:09I was really excited. When they came to me with the role, I was like,
00:14oh my god, are you for real? Are you for real? I screamed. I mean, I loved the first one.
00:19I'm an eternal fan of Disney Pixar, and so then to be a part of this story just felt,
00:24it just, I was over the moon.
00:26Do you remember how watching the first movie made you feel?
00:29Oh god, yes. Of course, how could I forget? And it made me feel everything.
00:34I mean, the sort of slew of emotions that you go through watching these movies,
00:39because they're so heartfelt, and they're so beautiful.
00:42What do you love about working on animated projects like this?
00:46I think one of my favorite things about animation is that it doesn't matter, like, how you look.
00:52So much of it is just getting to play and be free, and the imagination runs wild,
00:58and so it's just a really fun playground.
01:01And for you, you're also in Ex-Pats. What has it been like, kind of, with the fan response to that show?
01:06It's been, I've been very thankful. It's been surreal. I feel blown away,
01:12because, you know, the truth is you just never know how anything will be received.
01:15And the way people have responded has been really exciting and moving.
01:20What was the most memorable part about working on that project for you?
01:23Getting to film in Hong Kong. I mean, that was just a dream.
01:27It was like, I miss the food all the time. I made the best friends.
01:30It was really, it's so rare to get to do something like that,
01:34where you film in the location that a show is set in, or a movie, you know,
01:37and so getting to do that was amazing.
01:40And with Inside Out 2, did you get to record with anybody in the booth, or were you totally solo?
01:44I was totally solo, but I had so much fun, and like, you know,
01:48the way I was directed, I got to do some improv and play, and it was just the best.
01:54Since this movie is all about emotions,
01:56which emotion would you say runs the control board in your head,
02:00like joy runs the control board in Riley's head?
02:03I would say empathy. I'm like such a big soft heart, and it's like, I don't recommend it.
02:10In terms of like, as a way to move through the world, it's a lot, but I am glad that I'm that way.
02:17I got to see the movie on Friday. I did, and I loved it so much,
02:21and I'm excited for everybody to see it on the big screen today,
02:24but it made me think about the importance of maintaining your joy,
02:27and still tapping into that as you get older, because sometimes we lose it with age.
02:31For you, what's a way that you try to stay in touch with your inner child,
02:35and still maintain and find your joy?
02:37You know, that is a great question and point,
02:40and I have to tell you, working on my joy has been a muscle,
02:43because I can get really like, oh, I worry, I can get anxious,
02:47I can get, you know, take on the weight of the world,
02:49and I think one of the ways I really tap into my joy is dancing,
02:53and being just silly, and dancing around, and like, being free and playful about life in general.
