00:00Yeah, I'm really getting the heck of this!
00:03Ha!
00:04I am your father.
00:08Moo.
00:09Moo.
00:11What's up?
00:12I'm Ariana DeBose, and I'm playing Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.
00:20Great.
00:22Woo!
00:22What is the best gift you've ever received?
00:26My bestie, John, gave me t-shirts that sort of reflect an inside joke, like,
00:32take me to this apples and bees, please.
00:34It's a line from the Prom Musical.
00:36And I realized that's more of an inside joke, and it's very hard to explain, so I shall move on.
00:44Every time.
00:45Every time.
00:47Last text you sent.
00:49I think I said, okay, my dude.
00:53Who did I send it to?
00:54My assistant.
00:55Another one?
00:59It's just really absurd.
01:02Word your friends would use to describe you.
01:05Muppet.
01:09It's kind of fun and cathartic.
01:11Last song that got stuck in your head.
01:14Oh, I was singing it earlier today.
01:16It's from Tangled, which is silly, because I haven't watched that movie in a very long time.
01:21Dumb-ba-dumb-ba-dumb-ba-dumb.
01:23Uh-huh.
01:24Sweep the floors and they're all clean.
01:27I know, it's so bad.
01:28I got nothing.
01:32What word makes you cringe?
01:34Well, cringe makes me cringe.
01:36Especially because I've been described as cringe before, so that's been fun.
01:40And also moist.
01:44There's something about it.
01:45Like, it really...
01:47Moist.
01:52Last book you read.
01:54I Have Something to Tell You by Chasten Buttigieg.
01:58Intended for, like, young queer people.
02:01Great book.
02:02Check it out.
02:03Getting the hang of it.
02:04It's kind of fun.
02:06Favorite dance move.
02:08I mean...
02:10I don't even know what that's called, but...
02:13The snake?
02:15I listen to a lot of 70s music, so kind of anything you would do to, like, Donna Summer music.
02:21I feel love.
02:27Hi-yah!
02:28How did you make your first dollar?
02:31My first dollar was made when I was a baby, actually.
02:36I won the Ivory Baby contest.
02:37So I made my first dollar off of my cuteness.
02:42Yeah!
02:43I'm really getting the hang of this!
02:45Ha!
02:46Guilty Pleasure Watch.
02:48I love 1400s, 1500s TV shows.
02:54The Medici.
02:55I love Shadow and Bone, which is technically a young adult television show, but...
03:01I don't know. I like fantasy.
03:04Wow!
03:06Do you have any secret talents?
03:08I have what I call a gremlin voice.
03:11Or, like, a Darth Vader voice.
03:13I am your father.
03:16Maybe it's more of a gremlin, but, like, that's kind of cool.
03:19I hope I'm not alienating people, but...
03:23It's true.
03:25Just whip it out sometimes and get people to back up, you know?
03:31Anyways, no.
03:32Wow, tough crowd.
03:34Go-to late-night snacks.
03:37Oreos and peanut butter.
03:39Should be celery and peanut butter, but it's not.
03:41Oreos, delicious.
03:43My favorite.
03:45And red wine.
03:49What makes you feel most powerful and confident?
03:53I feel most powerful when I can get up in front of people
03:55and know exactly what I'm talking about, speak from my heart.
04:00I have to get up and speak in front of people frequently these days,
04:03so it's a new, kind of a new skill.
04:05Because I'm an actor, I speak as a character often.
04:09But speaking as myself, I feel very powerful and quite confident.
04:13When I'm feeling my best, I am prepared, and people listen.
04:18People should listen in general.
04:19Not just to me, but to each other.
04:23Hiya!
04:24Rock on.
04:25What should every woman try at least once in their life?
04:28Who am I to tell a woman what they should do?
04:31Do what you want.
04:32How about that?
04:33For themselves.
04:34That's what they should do.
04:35Even if it's just a day, an hour.
04:37That's what you should do.
04:39Woo!
04:41Look at all these stars and stripes.
04:44I like stars.
04:47Most starstruck moment.
04:49Meeting Morgan Freeman was very starstruck,
04:52so much so that I spelled my name for him.
04:55Ariana.
04:56A-R-I-A-N-A.
04:58One N.
05:00That's something I did.
05:05What advice would you give your younger self?
05:07You know, I would tell my younger self to keep going.
05:12It's okay that you're weird.
05:14And your empathy and your gut intuition is your superpower.
05:20Follow those things.
05:21Yeah.
05:23It's gonna be alright little girl.
05:25That's also what I tell her.
05:26It's gonna be okay.
05:27Last one.
05:28You ready?
05:29I'm not.
05:32It's just so powerful.
05:34So powerful.
05:35Number one thing on your bucket list.
05:38There's so many things on my bucket list.
05:40But, you know, I don't prioritize rest.
05:44So, number one thing on my bucket list is to go on a really great vacation where I get to
05:50simply relax.
05:52Go for a swim.
05:53Maybe do some yoga.
05:55I know. Boring.
05:56I don't wanna jump out of a plane.
05:58No desire.
05:58I have no desire to be in a hot air balloon.
06:01There's enough hot air in the world.
06:04I'm good.
06:05But I would love to take a vacation.
06:08I think that's it.
06:09No more balloons left.
06:10Thank you for joining me, Ariana DuBose, as I played Pop Quiz with Mary Claire.
06:28Thank you so much.
