00:00Like it was such a parallel.
00:03So wonderful to see you both.
00:06So good to see you.
00:07Welcome to season two.
00:09I'm so excited.
00:10You both look fabulous.
00:12You do too.
00:15So I just want to start.
00:16We're in a new season at Kiss.
00:18New school year.
00:19Yes.
00:20For your characters, what do you think their favorite class this season would be?
00:25Oh.
00:26Um.
00:27Kitty has a new class that's like music management.
00:33And that I feel like, I mean it has its drama within it for sure.
00:36But I feel like she would, I think she likes it.
00:38I think she definitely, we get to see her in that class the most.
00:41So I'm going to take the agency to say she's enjoying it.
00:44She has fun.
00:45Yeah.
00:46I'd say for Q it's definitely track.
00:48Yeah.
00:49I don't know if that counts as a class.
00:51But I don't.
00:52P.
00:54I don't consider him an academic per se.
00:57So I would say track for sure.
00:59He gets a lot of fun out of that.
01:00Absolutely.
01:01And I love the story arcs that go on this season.
01:04Especially Anna for you with Kitty.
01:07I mean she has such growth.
01:09And she's going from being a matchmaker to figuring herself out.
01:11And her sexuality of course.
01:13So can you just talk a little bit about how fun that is exploring.
01:16Yeah.
01:17I think it's so special to see Kitty in a space this season where she feels like she has a stronger sense of who she is.
01:23And season one there was that whole beautiful journey of coming to the realization of her sexuality.
01:29And exploring that for the first time.
01:31Versus this season she's pretty comfortable with it.
01:33And she's getting to actually be that person in the world.
01:36And be proud of it.
01:38And explore it in a much more real way instead of in her own heart and her own mind.
01:43And that's really cool to see.
01:44And her first girl date.
01:48And all of those firsts are happening for her.
01:51And it's very special to see that she's proud of it.
01:54And Kitty's always been very fearless in that way.
01:57Which is so fun to get to explore.
01:59I can't wait for everyone to see.
02:00There's just so much that's going to happen.
02:02Going over to you Anthony with Q.
02:04I mean he's always going from school to boys.
02:08And I love watching what he's going to do next.
02:10But I also do love that we get to kind of see him in a queer scene.
02:14Especially this season.
02:16So can you just talk a little bit about what you love seeing him do this season.
02:20The thing that I love about Q is that he's always been very comfortable in his own skin.
02:25I don't think he struggles at all with his identity.
02:28And that's what's really cool about seeing a character like that on TV.
02:32And getting to be more comfortable in that.
02:35And go on this journey with Kitty as well.
02:38It is really cool to see how he kind of takes her under his wing in a way.
02:44I think that's what makes playing Q so fun.
02:47Kind of living vicariously.
02:49Because he's already done all of this experience at all.
02:52So it's cool to see him do that with Kitty.
02:54And also like you said with the queer scene.
02:57And being in that space.
02:59And how even more so he lets loose.
03:02It was just such a fun episode.
03:04I feel like that was the best.
03:06I really enjoy that part of playing Q for sure.
03:09And you two are amazing best friends on the show.
03:13I love seeing how reliant you can be on each other.
03:16So can you just talk a little bit about your first impressions of each other.
03:21In real life.
03:22And then how it's grown.
03:24Like your friendship.
03:25Oh my god.
03:26I don't think it's the first time we met.
03:27It was outside of the hotel.
03:29I was walking out of it.
03:31And you were driving in.
03:33And you came out of the van and slid the door open.
03:36And you're like, you're Anthony.
03:37And I'm like, you're Anna.
03:39We had only just met over Zoom.
03:41For the chemistry reads before that.
03:43So that was our first time really meeting.
03:45And I just remember you embraced me in this biggest hug ever.
03:48And I just remember thinking this girl is so sweet and so genuine.
03:52You don't really get that a lot in this industry sometimes.
03:55It literally reminds me of when Kitty comes out of the car in episode one.
03:59And it was like that.
04:01It was like the jump to each other and the little tippy tops of dancing.
04:04And we're like, oh, this is happening.
04:05I can't believe we're here.
04:06It was literally that scene in real life.
04:08The excitement was so real.
04:10And getting to be like, we're about to start this crazy adventure together.
04:14And we get to experience this wild thing side by side was such a special moment.
04:19It really was.
04:20Oh, my gosh.
04:21I feel like we get to see that in season two, too.
04:23Right at the beginning.
04:24Yeah, I think that's what she was referencing.
04:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:27Like it was such a parallel.
04:29Parallel.
04:30I love that so much.
04:33And I also feel like obviously Kitty's trying to find out about more of her mother.
04:38And this time she gets a little more sleuthing.
04:42It's really getting into the clues.
04:44So how do you both feel about solving mysteries?
04:46Do you think you're good?
04:48I think I'm pretty good at sleuthing.
04:50I would trust you.
04:52I would trust you to help.
04:53I can put my FBI hat on and figure some stuff out.
04:56I'm good at finding information, I think.
04:58Yes, I think I would go to you if I needed help for that.
05:01I would just get too nervous.
05:02I would get very stressed and be like, no, I would be too guilty.
05:06I don't think I would be someone you need for a sleuth.
05:09I feel like I could do an Instagram sleuthing, but that's hard.
05:12Yeah, that part, yeah.
05:14I could get in my car and follow someone if need be.
05:17Yeah, I could.
05:18So I'll call you up.
05:19Let me know, let me know.
