00:00I'm a road tripper. I really love to be in a car with my best friends driving. I
00:06just did the United States. That was amazing. But yes, you're right. This
00:11looks like we're in Hawaii and I'm the queen of hell. So, welcome.
00:26When it comes to acting, I've always loved Hilda, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep. But I
00:33do find myself inspired by basically anybody that I meet. I really love people and I love
00:40characters. So I think they inadvertently end up inspiring me. When it comes to
00:45fashion, particularly for red carpets, I get visions, like very strong feelings
00:52about either a color or a cut. And then my stylist, Ryan Hastings, works with me to
00:57make that dream come true.
01:16What makes me say yes to a role depends for every single one. Usually it's just a feeling.
01:23I notice when I have started to say the words out loud in a different tone of voice or my
01:28body is like moved a little bit. That's when I started to get the inkling that something
01:32might be for me. And then if it's a brilliant filmmaker, then it's a no brainer. I'd love
01:38to work with Chloe Zhao, Greta Gerwig. Directors that have a tone in movies where you always
01:46wonder like what possibly could have been the note to get everybody to be in that
01:51same energy and vibe. That really interests me.
02:06The best part of any production is the crew. They're there before you. They stay after
02:10you. They work so hard for very little glory. And you end up having the most wonderful conversations
02:17with people that maybe you wouldn't have had a chance to meet otherwise.
02:21My comfort watch. Almost famous. I can watch that movie. I mean, I have watched that movie
02:27a million and one times. I tend to be a bit of a comfort rewatcher. I'm only just now starting
02:32to watch films that I haven't seen before. And that's been really fun. So I've sort of
02:36replaced the comfort watch with something new.
02:39When fans approach me on the street, they often want hugs, which I'm so happy to give.
02:46And I think they're just, they're just really excited. And we have pretty lovely interactions,
02:52really. I have a lot of people wanting to talk to me about Argentine food, impanas, in
02:57five to 10 years. I think we'll just have to wait and see. I'm excited to see it.
03:04Bye.
03:05Bye.
03:06Bye.
03:09Bye.
03:15Bye.
