00:00This is such a beautiful film, and I feel like it asks so much of you as an actress, a dancer, a singer.
00:04What was most challenging for you?
00:07Not getting in my own way.
00:10And sort of just being in Rita's skin and understanding her journey.
00:15You know, it takes discipline to not sort of like judge a character as you're approaching it and you're putting it together.
00:21You kind of go, well, I wouldn't do what she did.
00:24And it's like, well, there's no, it's not a she, it's an I, it's a me.
00:27And I, where am I?
00:29I'm, I'm, I'm desperate right now.
00:31I need a way out.
00:32I, I'm overworked.
00:34I'm burnt out.
00:34I'm, you know, I'm talking about as Rita and I needed to be sort of like in that headspace.
00:39And once you're in there, then all of a sudden, this whole story takes a brand new life.
00:45You know, Emilia Perez is Emilia.
00:47Jesse's Jesse.
00:48You know, Epifania is Epifania.
00:51And so it became a wonderful, wonderful experience.
00:55Did you ever think a role like this would come along for you as an actress?
00:58I wanted it.
00:59I wished it.
01:01I always thought like, I'm going to have to make it for myself.
01:03And when is that going to, you know, when am I going to be able to do that?
01:07Juggling all the things that I'm juggling.
01:10You know, it just, it just proves that the power of manifestation means that, that unconsciously
01:14you wake up every day with a purpose and, and you make it happen because the universe
01:19is listening.
01:20This is something that is all encompassing of, of all the art forms that I, that I love,
01:25you know, and, and, and I'm just happy that I'm finally getting to share more of, of what
01:31I, I can do.
01:32And, and I will be doing by the grace of God.
01:36More musical roles?
01:38Okay.
01:39If you insist.
01:41Okay.
01:41We do.
