00:00I'll be lucky if I get an acting experience like this again.
00:02I'll be lucky if I'm a part of anything that's received to this warmth again.
00:05Maybe I'll watch this video 10 years from now and this will be my glory day.
00:08And if so, so be it.
00:11Timothy, right in front of me, right in front!
00:29I think movies can sometimes get lost in a coastal vacuum.
00:32I've often thought to myself, I don't want to act for actors, I want to act for people.
00:40Before I was born, my mom was a dance teacher, but on occasion,
00:58she would do background work on Saturday Night Live.
01:01Oh my god!
01:05That's my mom.
01:07She almost got spit on by Chris Farley.
01:40I immediately understood that it was a class act.
01:55Someone extraordinary, completely unique, a wonderful actor, a wonderful person.
02:07It's a love story.
02:08It's a celebration of love.
02:09Actually, what makes this movie so special is, I think, the lack of a violent oppressor
02:15or deterrent to this love that's so present in any other kind of love story.
02:19This is just a pure celebration of, like Armie said, a special summer love.
02:24Luckily, now a beautiful boy, and last year we were calling him by her name,
02:27but also with Lady Bird, these things are taking on a social message and a social reasoning.
02:32To be here on account of important messaging, or so it feels at least, that's awesome.
02:42Hey, I'm Alex.
02:46Yeah, I got that.
02:48Yeah, I can't wait until the end of the month.
02:50I can't wait till the end of the month.
02:51Seriously, what a.
02:52Priceless.
02:54I can't wait until the end of the month.
02:58No, yeah, give me a mistake, but I promise, I will do a better job than that.
03:02No, actually, I will do better than that.
03:04Oh, no!
03:06No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:10What's your name?
03:11How you doing man?
03:12Good, how's it going?
03:13I encourage everyone to vote in the United States who is an American citizen.
03:14You know who I support.
03:15We are in a democratic crisis in the United States.
03:16We have to vote.
03:17We have to vote for democracy.
03:18There is one candidate who supports democracy.
03:19Not two.
03:20There is one.
03:21This was the honor of a lifetime for me.
03:22And I like how Zendaya just put it, in some way I just had to be guided even though it
03:45was a project size I hadn't been on before.
03:48And every person, every artist I'm fortunate enough to sit up here with right now, and
03:53maybe I shouldn't admit this, but I was able to lean on each one emotionally at some point.
03:59Now I'm proud to call these my sisters and brothers.
