00:00Look at you. Who are you wearing?

00:02This is Carolina Herrera.

00:04Who are you wearing?

00:06Prada.

00:08What is that?

00:10This is a beautiful brooch from Tiffany.

00:12Right now we're doing

00:14birds in the air. We're flying.

00:16Just a little Tiffany love

00:18right now.

00:20How many carrots?

00:22I didn't ask.

00:24I couldn't hear.

00:26As soon as we leave.

00:28Did you watch the show tonight?

00:30What was your favorite part?

00:32So many surprises, but of course Zoe.

00:34We go back so many years to our

00:36little indie days and just so

00:38proud of her and so happy for her.

00:40You knew this would happen for her one day

00:42when you were making those indies?

00:44I knew she was incredibly talented

00:46and I just hoped that she was going to be given

00:48the opportunity.

00:50All the opportunities that you kind of need to be able to

00:52showcase all your layers

00:54and with this one she got to

00:56show everything in her toolkit.

00:58When are you going to act? When are you going to do some acting?

01:00Tell me you're

01:02not taking acting classes. I know you are.

01:04I haven't yet. My wife won't let me do it.

01:06I did not. That is

01:08not true. That is not true.

01:10We had vacation with Jerry Bruckheimer and

01:12Jerry Bruckheimer himself said

01:14D needs to start acting.

01:16Jerry Bruckheimer tells you

01:18to do that?

01:20You do it.

01:22We were on vacation drinking

01:24wine so he's been nice but

01:26I love supporting her more so than anything.

01:28I don't know. Let somebody write a

01:30script for me.

01:32He wants a script written for him.

01:34He's not acting but now he wants a script written for him.

01:36If not then it's cool.

01:38He wants his own movie. God bless.

01:40On a serious note

01:42obviously right now trans rights are being

01:44attacked. How are you feeling?

01:46How's your daughter doing?

01:48Our daughter is doing great.

01:50She had a gospel choir concert last night

01:52and the joy

01:54that we got a chance to watch

01:56Zaya portray last night

01:58and just be a kid on that stage

02:00that's what we focus on.

02:02We obviously understand that it's a lot

02:04of conversation.

02:06It's a lot of families that's been

02:08affected by but we choose

02:10to focus on our community and our

02:12village and what it is we have to

02:14do as parents and we need to do

02:16and we support Zaya and everything she wants

02:18to do but we're getting ready for her graduation.

02:20She's going to college?

02:22I'm turning 18.

02:24We're focused on Zaya.

02:26We're not focused on things we can't control right now.

02:28We're trying to focus on making sure that she turns

02:3018. You only do it once and she goes

02:32to college and she gets off to the place

02:34she wants to be at.

02:36What do you say to other parents who are scared?

02:38This isn't the time for

02:40fear. This is the time for bravery

02:42and sometimes the bravest thing you can do

02:44is see your

02:46child 100% of your child.

02:48Prepare them to fight.

02:50You need to prepare to fight with

02:52information, resources, the truth

02:54because it's

02:56going to take all of us standing together.

02:58So whether you have trans kids

03:00or you just understand

03:02the value of every single

03:04member of our society,

03:06it's time to fight.
