00:00It's always been about who I am individually, my choices.

00:04♪♪

00:16Awesome!

00:18♪♪

00:29♪♪

00:50I was 15 when I came out to L.A. to audition,

00:53so I don't think I was even, you know, cooking with all four burners there.

00:56I didn't know what sacrifice really meant,

01:00other than I was going to be homeschooled,

01:03and I was so excited because I was going to get to take the classes that I liked.

01:06♪♪

01:15It was so surreal.

01:17I was beside myself.

01:19I loved it so much.

01:21And also, that movie is so funny,

01:23and everybody got to improvise on it,

01:25and those guys and those people.

01:28I met my best friend on that movie,

01:30Martha, who plays Becca in the movie.

01:32I mean, that was such an incredible feeling, doing that.

01:38So, yeah, it's pretty magical.

01:40♪♪

01:57Seriously? It's like you're Photoshopped!

02:00♪♪

02:04Biggest thing that Emma's got going for her, among several things,

02:08is that she rides her instincts.

02:10Her instincts are really good, and she reacts.

02:13She doesn't act. She reacts.

02:15She'll be around for a long, long time.

02:17♪♪

02:46Just the best.

02:47I always say our first meeting, me and Emma and Octavia,

02:52we sat and we ate a meal for five hours and laughed hysterically.

02:58It was so much fun. It was just incredible.

03:01♪♪

03:22These lips can save lives

03:24by talking to all the women you love about cancer.

03:27♪♪

03:56♪♪

04:07What I would tell kids that are going through anxiety,

04:11which I have and can relate to, is that you're so normal.

04:17Everyone experiences a version of anxiety or worry in their lives,

04:22and maybe we go through it in a different or more intense way

04:26for longer periods of time, but it's not,

04:29there's nothing wrong with you.

04:31You feel deeply, and it's the best.

04:34♪♪

04:42I feel just, I don't know, lucky to be part of something

04:45that's so cinematic and beautiful and original and nostalgic

04:49all at the same time. I thought it was, yeah, really special.

04:52You could feel the energy of the theater lift while it was on,

04:59and then even while I was driving away,

05:01there were people dancing in the streets.

05:03♪♪

05:11Whoo!

05:13You guys see that?

05:17♪♪

05:29As it turns out, I am capable of much unpleasantness.

05:33You know, I didn't have to give Emma Stone any tips

05:35because on the very first day that I met her at the read-through

05:38where you read the entire script out, her accent was flawless.

05:41Really?

05:42Yeah, completely flawless.

05:43I worked on it before getting there,

05:45so she didn't need my help or anyone's help.

05:48♪♪

06:11I'm just getting started, though.

06:14Well, first off, I hope to be working,

06:17but then secondly, I'd really love to be producing.

06:20And comedy, I love comedy, but, you know,

06:23whatever happens, happens. We'll see.
