00:00I was terrified of cats before I made this movie.
00:03I was so terrified that I would cry
00:06if a cat approached me in a room.
00:08And then I fell in love with the idea
00:10of playing Sam in this movie, and she had a cat,
00:14and so I had to face my fear of cats
00:17and get exposure to them through a therapy process.
00:21Then I overcame my fear, and by the end of it,
00:24I was so in love with the cats that I got myself one.
00:27Really?
00:28Yes.
00:29That's so sweet. Yeah, changed my life.
00:31What's your cat's name?
00:33Yo-Yo.
