00:00This whole ride, you know, it's nice to see you again on a carpet.

00:03I feel like it's been six months since we've been having these chats,

00:08and it's continued to be about this movie, which is so rare.

00:11What has been the most surprising thing to you about this entire run?

00:15The length that it keeps going, you know, the momentum that has not stopped.

00:22It's been a rollercoaster ride. It's been exhilarating.

00:25You know, you scream with joy and sometimes in terror because you're not quite sure what is happening.

00:30But the excitement is palpable.

00:33I think not just only to the creators, the people who have been in and out of the movie, the cast and crew,

00:39but for the audiences, that they can embrace a movie that is so relatable about love and family.

00:46And then I want to ask you also, there was some news stories, I think, last week or the week before about the Star Trek spinoff.

00:54So that's very exciting.

00:55What can you tell me about how that came to be and why you were so committed to staying in that universe?

01:00Oh, my God, because it is such an exciting universe.

01:02It's so different from all the other things that I do.

01:05And I love our creators, Alex Kurtzman, Heather, you know, the whole crowd of them in Secret Hideout,

01:14and CBS All Access, who are so devoted to make sure the quality that when you go out to space,

01:20you're going to have a ride of your life.

01:23And it's just that the character, Emperor Jojo, is so special.

01:31So special. You're pretty special, too.

01:33Thank you so much for making time.

01:35Good luck tonight.

01:36And you look beautiful.
