00:00 So I'm here with Jared Leto. It's a pleasure. I mean, you're so tall.
00:04 How tall are you?
00:05 I'm a tall man, you know, I've always been a tall man.
00:08 I love it. I mean, I'm a short girl.
00:10 No, you're not. You're perfect height.
00:12 Thank you. I appreciate it. Perfect.
00:14 I love the look.
00:15 Can we get into it for a second?
00:16 It's very Rick Owens. Is it?
00:19 Head to toe Rick Owens.
00:20 Yes. You know, the mastermind himself.
00:23 And always a pleasure to wear a piece of his his arts.
00:27 But tonight's a big night for us. We're celebrating.
00:30 Our album comes out in three days, so it's a little like our record
00:33 release party here, but nobody knows it.
00:36 Wait, so that's a lot of fun.
00:38 You said your album comes out in three days. Three days.
00:40 Yeah, it's called It's the End of the World, but it's a beautiful day.
00:42 Comes out September 15th.
00:44 So tonight we're really celebrating.
00:46 Yeah. What can we expect on the album?
00:48 Well, it's very different.
00:49 I mean, I think, you know, 30 seconds of Mars, we haven't put an album out in five
00:53 years. People are going to be pretty surprised.
00:56 And we're excited.
00:58 I mean, tonight, congratulations.
01:00 You guys are nominated for Best Alternative.
01:02 What would that win mean to you?
01:04 That win would mean a lot.
01:06 I mean, it's always look, the thing about winning awards is like
01:09 it doesn't matter to get a trophy.
01:11 It's just an opportunity to stand on the stage
01:14 and thank people that have been important to you.
01:17 That's the best part.
01:19 And it's also great to see other people win.
01:21 So if you lose big deal, you know.
01:24 And 17 years ago at this time,
01:27 you guys won your first MTV2 award and now you're here.
01:32 What are some things that you've learned in your 17 year journey as a musician?
01:36 I think I've learned to be flexible, to remember, to be kind
01:41 and to be open to change.
01:44 September 15th.
01:47 Thank you so much, Jared.
01:48 Anyway.
