00:00Hey Hollywood Reporter, I'm Asia Naomi King and I'm going to answer a few quick questions, so let's do this.
00:11Be honest, sorry, do you ever read online comments about yourself or your performance?
00:20So, I have in the past and I actually now when I like post anything, I'm just like, I'll set a timer and give myself like two minutes to look at stuff because it's true.
00:35It's like, if you believe the good stuff then you have to believe the bad stuff and I'd rather not believe in anything other than what I think about it, so I don't want to read the comments anymore. No thank you.
00:46It's your final day on earth, that's pleasant. What is your last meal?
00:53My final day on earth, what is my last meal? Okay, actually, if it's my final day on earth, I want to have the spaghetti and turkey meatballs that my dad used to make me when I was growing up because it's nostalgic and it's home and it makes me feel safe.
01:11Have you ever practiced an Emmy win speech?
01:18I just can't believe that this is happening to me right now. This is just one of the most incredible moments of my life to think that all of you out there have chosen me to win this award.
01:30So yes, I have.
01:33Someone that I have connected with or contacted this Emmy's weekend, I of course had to contact Viola, Viola Davis, maybe you know her, because I love her so much and she's a wonderful human being and we're very excited to see each other.
01:51Well, this has been utterly amazing. Thanks for spending some time with me. Love The Hollywood Reporter and have a great night everybody.
