00:00You look amazing. You look stunning. No, you look stunning. What's up? We doing Pilates? You doing yoga? What are we doing?
00:05You know what? Someone asked me up there if I'm a Pilates princess. It's giving. I love Pilates. We should do Pilates together. I'm down. It's fun. I'm down.
00:12Okay, let's do it. A little east side Pilates? Yeah, we'll get that on the schedule. We'll get that sorted out.
00:16Wait, how are you? I feel like you're so busy right now. A little bit.
00:19Do you feel like when you're busy it makes really big events like this almost easier because you're so overwhelmed?
00:25Yeah, I feel like everything is on, like the schedule's never been more set. Packed? Yeah.
00:31And so you just are like showing up, showing up, showing up, showing up. Yes, that's all I have to do is just show up and whatever unfolds, unfolds.
00:38I heard that you're directing for the first time too. It's true, yes. How's that? It's great. It's the best.
00:44We have the best, best, best crew in the world. The most amazing actors. I love our cast.
00:50It's like such a dream to get to work alongside them and to work with them in a different way and like see that skill from a different vantage point has been really cool.
00:59It's a fun thing. You know, I started out writing and acting as well and so I feel like I know things from behind camera and in front of camera and again just kind of zoom out.
01:10It's really cool. I love that. You look amazing. Thank you so much.
01:15What are you wearing, by the way? This is Lueve. It looks so good. Do you feel like a little garden?
01:21Yes, very much that. Yeah, we got flowers in the hair, you know. So good. Is this your first Met? It's my first Met.
01:27Stop. How do you feel? Like kind of crazy, but I'll take like another check at the end of the night. You'll be fine.
01:34But it's really fun. It's a great group, so I'm really happy. After the carpet, you're good. Yeah, it's that part. And we all relax. It's that part.
01:41You got this. Yeah, just be sort of yelled at by a hundred people. It's fine. They're just screaming your name and you feel like you're in trouble with the principal's office.
01:47I am. It does feel like you're in trouble. I am. But we are. We are. And we're going to be in the principal's office together.
01:53I love that for us. I know. I love that for us. It'll be fun. You look amazing. Thanks, Emma.
01:57Go have fun. I'll see you in there. It was nice to see you. Y'all see you in there. I know. Bye.
