oh that's what am i saying we did have a rat party what am i saying i'm so sorry breakfast is ready
it's gonna be me hello olivia how are you guys hello we're well thank you good well it's lovely
to talk to you both about turning red i've never wanted to be a red panda so badly in my life
well you have one inside of you that is true that is the message of this film and my heart was so
full watching mae mae's journey of self-discovery and her embracing her differences sandra i'm
interested to know was that anything you were ever insecure about growing up that you learned
to really love as you got older that's such a great question i would say my inner red panda
you know um as you go through that special time in your life and you have you're filled with a
lot of emotions highs and lows i think it took me a very long time to actually
a really embrace uh and accept that in myself and then honestly i've made a career out of it
you know what i mean it's it's how you are able to for me harness that red panda for
me in a creative way and i could very much relate to maymay's obsession with fall town
in this because i've been a die-hard lady gargoyle fan since the age of 14 and still
am mostly are there any artists or bands that you absolutely love i mean anything k-pop honestly
um 17 bts exo too many to count i love bts as well what's your favorite song oh there's so
many it's a close call between spring day and on or black swan black swan these are strong choices
don't know i don't know i don't know either of them i was gonna ask sandra is kpop not your thing
i know i feel like slightly ashamed as a korean uh uh but no no i don't know okay
i know bts is but rosie can introduce you so yeah yeah i mean which fans or artists did you love
growing up i will say during this time for me i was it was a real brip pop wave you know for me
my essential bands uh were roxy music uh the cure the smiths you know everyone's gonna know exactly
how old i am not right now um but within that kind of influence like susie and the banshees
uh it was the style council i mean it was very very brit pop heavy um that was kind of my teenage
years you've both got great taste i've got to say i'm maylin lee i wear what i want say what i want
24 7 365. the film explores those awkward teenage years so perfectly sandra i was wondering were
there any embarrassing trends you took part in as a teenager that you now think oh my god what was i
doing i i do remember the feeling of the amount of energy that i had and the amount of just unabashed
explorations like i was a real i was a real drama nerd you know what i mean and so for me my friends
our idea of fun we would just do improv on buses we would go on a bus one person would come on
another person would come on and we would just do a scenario on the bus and we would just and
then we would just like go into a big argument and then just get off the bus and we would just
we would that's the kind of thing that we would do but i actually feel like i really adore that
person you know endure that teenager who was like i love acting and drama so much i'm just gonna do
these spontaneous skits around town and i don't care i'd love to see that movie just no you don't
i think it'd be entertaining um we see how maymay has to calm herself down in order to get rid of
the panda is there a film that you guys turn to for comfort that always calms you both down
comfort film i will say this is another like real brit thing i love sense and sensibility
to be like i'll just watch emma thompson do anything but that's one of my faves
oh that's just good feel good for me she's the greatest best the best what makes you feel good
monsters inc and monsters university monsters university is an underrated pixar film
that film i watched i've watched that film the most out of any pixar film who are we missing
oh mike wazowski i think it's has such a good message and it's hilarious just like turning
red i don't trust anyone who doesn't love monsters inc oh yeah that's great classic
i'm a gross red monster oh look at me stay back this happened already
what did you say this film is going to speak to so many youngsters who are figuring out who they are
sandra what's your advice for someone who may be struggling in accepting who they are and loving
themselves be kind to yourself just say that one thing it's like may i be kind to myself
right you're not saying that you're going to do it you're just kind of going to try to do it
you're just going to make a little bit of space in your own mind that's probably spinning or
feeling like it's crushing on you just to give a little space to say
may i be kind to myself for this second it's so simple but it's so true mama's girls
family's such a huge part of this film what's one of the best life lessons that your family's taught
you that's always kind of stayed with you growing up be happy um they'd say that life is short
um really cherish the moments and try everything you if you if you find something that makes you
happy just go for it that's why i'm doing acting in the first place that's amazing letting me
um pursue my dream even though it's so risky and so out there especially in asian culture
the traditional things to be a doctor or have a stable job but um for them to let me do acting is
really incredible i i agree i mean that's a real generational uh difference between rosalie and i
and i and i also feel like that's a big part of the the film particularly in in an asian culture
kind of way you know for young people it's a real struggle to break away from our the parental and
filial duty um it's just very deeply ingrained in us but but i want young people to be able to take
that space and try and find their voice equally for the parents of that like my generation it's
just like give your children a little bit of space to be themselves and so while my parents initially
were very much found upon being an artist they didn't understand it it was you know when you come
from an immigrant household security and safety is very very important for a lot of good reason i'd
say for me um my parents are are quite religious and so the idea of of doing good for um the whole
is for society for the world was very much ingrained in my family just don't do it for you or
just even for your own family whatever you do in life make the world a better place i love that um
and sandra everyone's so excited about the final season of canva i've got to bring up otherwise i
might get fired if i don't um how did it feel walking off set for that final time because
i imagine it must have been really emotional to say goodbye it was it was very emotional i can at
least tell you this the very last day of shooting is the very last shot of the show and so um
jody and i were together for that day it was very very emotional for the both of us yeah it was hard
it was hard did you have a big like wrap party i don't you wish i wished but here during still
um shooting it during the pandemic that was not possible yeah that's really it was really
really really sad oh that's what am i saying we did have a wrap party
what am i saying i'm so sorry we did have a wrap party let's put that
but you know what i must have been i must have been thinking of just the other projects that
i've been doing during the pandemic where no one got together but yes we did have a wrap
party what am i saying that's good that you've got no memory of it that's a good thing that's
true suddenly i know now it's all coming back to me yes where are we i won't say i won't say more
you
