Transcript

00:00Hello, one of our powerful women of the evening.

00:04I mean, truly, that's what you've been celebrating all week, in fact, with your powerful women

00:09of Amelia Perez, your powerful women of Lioness.

00:11What does it mean to have so many powerful women in your life right now?

00:16It just means that I'm surrounded by women and power are just some of the traits that

00:23many, many, many women possess and give to each other.

00:28We give each other power to be our free agents, to be calm, to be kind, to be successful,

00:38to be in pain, to heal.

00:41We give each other so much power and I love when we come together and we're able to celebrate

00:47each other.

00:48I know Amy's one of your girls, too, so to be able to have this moment together must

00:52feel pretty nice.

00:53Yes, it does.

00:54It really does.

00:55I have to ask you about a man who does also make us feel powerful because I spoke with

00:59James Cameron, as you know, and we talked about you directing.

01:03He was gleeful, giddy about it, and what he said was, she's got way too much stray intellectual

01:09voltage.

01:10She might as well use it.

01:12What does it mean to have him ... He said, too, that you're going to be fantastic as

01:17a director.

01:18What does it mean for a director that I know you admire to see that in you as well?

01:24It means a lot.

01:25I feel like I've grown up before his eyes.

01:30He's witnessed me in so many phases of my life since I met him.

01:36It'll be almost 20 years.

01:38I'm grateful.

01:39I'm grateful that he's been a really good friend, a great guide, a phenomenal mentor,

01:45and a kick-ass boss.

01:48Well, he was telling me about the ... What is it that ... What's the workout that you

01:54guys were joking about when you're riding your ... I was trying to think of what it's

01:59called.

02:00You said something buns of steel.

02:01Yeah, yeah, buns of steel.

02:02Remember?

02:03I don't know.

02:04You're too young for this, but in the 80s and the early 90s, there was this amazing

02:07trainer that created this sort of workout routine for your bums, and it was called butts

02:13of steel.

02:15It was right around the time when I was becoming a teenager.

02:17My mom got me the videotape, and we used to play it, but I never ... I barely ever did

02:21it.

02:22I was busy doing ballet.

02:23Well, I will say, I have one last question for you because you've done about 15,000 interviews

02:27in the past few days.

02:28Okay, never gets old.

02:29Well, what is the one question that somebody hasn't asked you?

02:34Something that you've been itching to talk about that just hasn't come up in these interviews

02:38yet?

02:39Oh, my God.

02:42I wish I had five minutes to think about that.

02:44There's so many things that I haven't been asked because as a person, there's so many

02:49things about you that you never really get to fully, fully share.

02:53I'm happy that I'm getting to share a lot of impactful parts of me with everyone.

02:59Emilia really represents so much of what I do as an artist.

03:05Questions that I haven't been asked, I'm a very simple person.

03:08I talk about food every day.

03:12I plan my life around the meals and the kind of cravings that I have.

03:19If you ask me, what are you looking forward to having after tonight?

03:23There's always an end prize if you do all the work.

03:26Smash burger.

03:27I'm going to have a smash burger.

03:28That is what powerful women-

03:29Usually, I'm gluten free, but I'm going to have it with buns today.

03:33You deserve the bun today.

03:37Congratulations.

03:38Can't wait to continue seeing you for the next few months.

03:41It's so nice to see you.
