00:00 I honestly can't believe that they let us do what we did.
00:03 It's a miracle that they let us do this.
00:06 Me!
00:08 No!
00:10 [laughing]
00:13 Cut!
00:14 Cut there.
00:15 [laughing]
00:19 Greta's just so joyful in her approach to filmmaking.
00:22 She loves cinema. It's infectious.
00:24 She makes you love it.
00:25 If you work with her, if you see her films,
00:27 it just was, you know, she would laugh during the takes.
00:31 [laughing]
00:33 It just was very unprecious and inclusive,
00:36 and it's been an amazing ride, and it's so fun.

00:49 [indistinct chatter]
00:51 And then hold.
00:52 Like, after you say it, you go.
00:54 What comes through is that, like, you love her.
00:57 Right.
00:58 You know, you do. You love her.
01:01 I do.
01:02 Noah and I wrote it together,
01:04 and I didn't know that I was gonna direct it.
01:07 It wasn't until we had the script and I loved it
01:09 that I thought, oh, now I can't bear to let anyone direct it but me.
01:12 [cheering]
01:14 It's a spicy margarita.
01:16 It's definitely-- there's, like, a lot packed into it,
01:19 and I'm so glad that you woke up thinking thoughts
01:22 you didn't know you'd have.
01:24 Turn to the Barbie next to you.
01:25 There's no reason to do it if we're making a sort of commercial for it.
01:30 You guys sell lots of dolls.
01:32 You do not need that to sell a doll.
01:35 So unless you're interested in doing it this way,
01:38 well, that's fine.
01:40 Hi, Barbie!
01:41 It's Barbie. It's also an extremely personal movie for me,
01:45 and it feels like a lot of things that I'm interested in,
01:48 both even, you know, aesthetically from a filmmaking point of view,
01:51 but also the ideas in it and kind of the emotions of it
01:55 and the characters and how-- what we're exploring
01:58 and how we're looking at it.
