00:00As an actor, I was craving something different.

00:04I was really yearning to work with a really great filmmaker,

00:09to have a very interesting, compelling story.

00:12I think that's the joy of filmmaking, right?

00:16You get to take people on a journey and make people feel things.

00:20It's just been such a joy.

00:30I love real stories about people, and though this was a bit of a fever dream,

00:39it was actually one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had.

00:43I think a lot of people can take away so much from this movie.

00:47It was so beautifully told.

00:49I think specifically my experience was so transformative and beautiful,

00:54and to be able to stand next to Carla is an honor of mine.

00:59It is a pleasure.

01:00She is one of the most incredible human beings I've ever met.

01:04I'm very strong, and I love her family.

01:07I think for me, I feel like I'm witnessing history,

01:11and I hope that this is just the beginning of opportunities for people like her.

01:15I know, as silly as it sounds, but I've learned so much from films that I've loved

01:21and grown up watching.

01:24I don't know.

01:25I feel like there's something for everyone.

01:29Music is, like, is my soul.

01:31It definitely is something I'm constantly thinking about,

01:35and even if it's just me singing along in the radio to the same five songs

01:40that I listen to over and over again,

01:42I think music is always going to be a part of who I am.

01:45And it was beautiful to be able to step into a totally different field of music

01:53because it has nothing to do with, like, my music,

01:55and it feels like it was raw and bare and challenging.

02:01It was very different than what I'm used to, for sure.

02:05God, it's going to be tough to beat,

02:06but I think my goal has always been to work with people that are like-minded

02:10that really, that are real storytellers.

02:15So I would much rather be in a movie, you know,

02:20and have a small part if it's a great story.

02:24I just like, I just really have missed acting a lot.

02:30Professionally, I am, I'm so excited and feel like it's just the beginning.

02:36So I can't even say I've worked with all the filmmakers I wanted to work with

02:40and all the actors that I'd love to work with,

02:43all the, all the different people I'm dying to meet,

02:47even people who are up and coming.

02:49I, I get so excited about the whole process of movie making or TV.

02:54And it's just been such a joy to spend more time in this world

02:58because I feel like I belong and it's a nice feeling.

03:02What makes me happy is living my life as authentically

03:07and as real as I possibly can.

03:10That means being in the grass and feeling it

03:14and watching, you know, my boyfriend garden because I can't do that.

03:19But it's like so beautiful to just stop and take in where you're at

03:24and be grateful and be humbled by it.

03:27And then what drives me is my passion and love for other people and for stories.

03:33So I love telling stories, however they look.

03:40I love telling stories, how that's interesting.

03:45Let's do some of my favorites.

03:47How that's interesting.

03:49My favorite story is my favorite story.

03:51I love it.

03:52It's a long story.

03:53It seems like this talk.

03:54So tell us in going with me.

03:55I'm going with you.

03:56I'm going with you.

03:57This talk is my favorite story.

03:58So I want to love it.

03:59Let's go with you.

04:00I'm going with you.
