00:00I mean, I always have ABBA on repeat.
00:02All the time.
00:04And I am aware some people say ABBA, okay?
00:07It will always only ever be ABBA.
00:11Hi, my name's Odessa Zion and today,
00:13I'm letting Elle ask me anything.
00:17Let's do this.
00:18What's your best red carpet look today?
00:20I think I black out every time I go on a carpet.
00:23Every time I do anything, I leave and then I'm like,
00:25fuck, why did I wear that?
00:27I look stupid.
00:28You know, the Globes one, I really hated.
00:32My hair was not doing the right thing.
00:34And then the outfit, like one of the legs
00:36was slimmer than the other one.
00:37And I didn't notice until I saw the picture.
00:41I liked the silver one for Critics' Choice Awards.
00:44I liked that one.
00:45That one was cool.
00:45That was a good hair day and I liked the outfit.
00:48So I think that's my favorite one.
00:50Okay, what's the last movie that made me cry?
00:52Princess and the Frog, as soon as I put that on,
00:55I start crying immediately.
00:57I love that movie so much.
00:59It reminds me of my grandpa.
01:01Oh God, I'm going to start crying right now.
01:04Wait, I can't.
01:05What's the best piece of advice you've ever received as an actor?
01:07Just do it, honestly, because it's so scary and embarrassing
01:13being vulnerable in front of people and having people perceive you and watch you.
01:17And if you just fucking let go and do it and just ignore the people around you in fear of
01:23judgment,
01:24then it's going to, what you do is going to live on in the movie or show forever.
01:29So if you don't give it your all, then you're going to regret not giving it your all.
01:32But like even this right now, it's like, how can I give my all when you bitches are watching me?
01:36It's scary.
01:37Oh, describe Rachel Sennett as a boss.
01:40I mean, do I need to even continue?
01:45She's a boss.
01:46She's showrunner, director, producer, star, writer.
01:50The fuck?
01:51Name a more boss combination.
01:54And she's great at what she does.
01:55And she really wears all the hats so well.
01:57That's our Lord and Savior Rachel Sennett.
02:00Which I love, I like cast members most likely to break in a scene.
02:03Honestly, they put a really bad group of people together because no one can keep their shit together.
02:08It's really bad.
02:09It's really fun though.
02:11I think that Moses is the best at keeping her shit together.
02:15She's like trained.
02:16She's got her shit on lock.
02:19Did I steal anything from the set of Marty's Supreme, girl?
02:22Please.
02:23Come on.
02:24I guess I'm like a kleptomaniac at this point.
02:26I took the ping pong ball that she's like crushing in her, in her thumbs.
02:32I stole a couple of like receipts from the forties that were in the ping pong parlor.
02:36I stole my bandage.
02:38The gunshot wounds.
02:40Y'all remember that?
02:40She got shot.
02:41Twice.
02:42Did you get to keep any of the looks?
02:43Yes.
02:44You know what?
02:45I was promised my glasses and I still haven't gotten them.
02:48I am waiting, Josh.
02:50Oh, what's your favorite Billie Eilish song of all time?
02:54Lunch.
02:55I love my Billy Wonka.
02:56She's just a very special, beautiful person and she matches my freak.
03:01You gotta have friends that match your freak.
03:03You know what I mean?
03:04What's the most amount of pets you've had at one time?
03:07One iguana, two snakes, three tortoises, two ferrets, a bearded dragon, three cats, two
03:14dogs and three bunnies.
03:1617.
03:16That's a lot.
03:18That, yep.
03:19Do you actually love LA?
03:21I do actually love LA.
03:22I love the sun.
03:24I love when there's pretty little clouds in the sky, even though we barely get any.
03:27I love palm trees.
03:28Even though they're fucking ripping them all out of the ground, which is annoying.
03:32I love being able to drive anywhere that I want to drive.
03:35I love driving.
03:36Born and raised.
03:37I love it.
03:38It's my city.

03:43Yeah.
03:44I mean, I always have ABBA on repeat all the time.

04:20Music.
04:22Is it true that you're working on an album for the last 25 years, and will it ever see
04:30the light of day?
04:31Yeah.
04:32Yeah, sure.
04:33I hope so.
