00:00It was so great talking to you at the Junket over the weekend.

00:02Did you get to enjoy Disneyland at all and ride any rides?

00:04I did. My mother and I went around and we walked.

00:08There's a Tagalog word for it, pashal, that we don't have an English equivalent.

00:12It's kind of like means sauntering and window shopping.

00:15So we pashal'd throughout the whole thing.

00:17We, you know, we got some food. We bought some Disneywear.

00:21Like, it was just wonderful. We took a lot of pictures. It's magic.

00:25What has it been like having your mom here?

00:26Do you usually get to bring her along for things like this?

00:28I do. I did for the 21 premiere.

00:32For the other ones, like, sometimes I invite her.

00:34Like, for Crazy Stupid Love, she passed.

00:37For this, I was like, you have to come to this.

00:39And it's just joy. She's the best wingman slash star to be around.

00:45You know that.

00:47We got to hang out. And one last quick question.

00:49So you voiced Disgust in this movie. You took over for Mindy Kaling.

00:52How much do you try to replicate what she did versus make it your own?

00:56You know, when I auditioned for it, I thought about the character at this age.

01:01You know, 13 is where is the most, where you're most in touch with Disgust.

01:05That's not good enough. I'm not wearing that.

01:07What is that on the floor? I'm not eating that. That smells.

01:10Like, that's a teenager to me.

01:11So when I auditioned for the job, I said to Kelsey,

01:15actually Disgust, if the new emotions didn't come in,

01:18Disgust would run the show.

01:19Because she's like, high school is where you judge everything.

01:22Like, I'm the boss.

01:24So that's how I tuned into it.
