- Hey guys, I'm Maia Mitchell
- and I'm cierra Ramirez.
- And we are here with Buzzfeed.
We're going to be interviewing each other
- as super fans
- of each other, which we are.
(upbeat music)
- What was your first impression of me when you met me?
- Oh my goodness.
I think we have the first encounter over Twitter.
We decided to meet up at a coffee shop
before our first table read of 'The Fosters'
I remember being so nervous.
- so nervous
- that you liked me and instantly it was just like, okay.
Fam. That's my sister right there.
- I was nervous too.
I was, I was freaking out, but you were so sweet.
- [Maia] Oh, what is your favorite Cali moment of all time
or acting moment of mine from a good trouble over fosters?
- I mean, okay. The last one,
that's a hard question to ask because I love when you act.
I love when you're on screen.
So all of them, but I think my favorite Cali moments
have to be either when she finally got adopted
by the fosters or most recently, when she passed the bar.
I think it's been really fun to see the growth
of Cali and you've grown alongside her,
and I've just been like her biggest fan
and rooted for her the whole way.
And it's cute to see how she's made her dreams come true.
[Cierra] What is the best night out
that we've ever had together?
There's so many.
We hang out every weekend or used to.
I mean, our Hawaii nights were so fun.
- Hawaii was a great trip.
- We made a Dua Lipa music video.
It was trash.
- but we loved it.
when we went to the 'On the Rap' tour.
- Oh yeah, that was the best night.
And then we had work at like five in the morning.
We had to roll in there and it didn't matter
cause we saw Beyonce.
That was a good night.
- Yes.
- Oh, I love you.
- [Maia] What are the ways that I'm most like Callie
or unlike Callie?
- It's kind of weird.
We've been having this conversation about how
when you even playing a character for so long
it kind of goes hand in hand.
She's definitely very strong and independent.
Just like you.
And you're very outspoken.
You know what you want, you go for it
and don't let anyone stop you
also, I think style.
style-wise you'll definitely are very similar.
I think she loves kind of, I don't know how to describe it
but like when there's a good thing going for her,
she kind of finds a way to like mess things up.
- She's pretty, self-destructive
- a little bit
I don't think you're that way.
I think you're very like you plan
out your life and this is how it's going to be.
Oh, we love her.
We love her.
- We love her anyway.
Yeah. What about you?
Do you think that you're similar to Marianna?
- I think so.
I think we can both be very stubborn, very sassy.
And I tend to find myself like catching myself
in real life and being like, Ooh, that was Marianna moment.
- Marianna is a compulsive liar though.
You don't lie.
You are like a compulsive truth teller.
- Exactly.
It's funny because like, it's like
we kind of lie for a living as actors.
- I know
Like I can't lie in real life to save my life
You would know.
- No, no she can't.
There's like there's no, no filter.
There's nothing.
You'll know exactly what's going on.
- [Cierra] Oh, what's your favorite song of mine?
- You know the answer to that.
(Singing) I just want you to love me babe
- I love this
Maia's always come to visit me
on my sets of my music videos.
- That's true, I stage mom it up.
I do. Cause I'm so proud of her.
You do so good.
No, I'm, I'm so proud of you
and I love to just come
and watch you do your things
I always get to see you acting
and in your element, in that way
and to get to see you be creative
in a way that I don't get to usually see is like so fun.
Honestly, you glow when you're on set and doing your
doing your music thing, like the best.
- Awe I love it thank you.
- Yeah.
[Maia] What's your favorite project that I've done outside
of Good Trouble or the Fosters?
- You know, I'm, I'm a Maia Mitchell fan.
And you know I've seen it
- You've seen everything
- it's between 'Hot Summer Nights' and 'Never Going Back'
I love them both.
- You do love the Hot Summer Nights playlist though.
It is a good playlist.
- Oh, I listen to that soundtrack,
all the time.
I loved never going back.
I thought it was the most fun movie.
If I ever just need a feel good moment,
I just put it on.
- You watch that movie?
- I do, I do.
- You watch me being a sweaty rat bag running around Dallas?
- I sure do
(laughter)
- [Cierra] What would you say is the biggest way
that I've changed or grown since we first met?
- I mean, I met you when you were 17 and in school
and now you're about to be 26
I think the biggest way is that you've just become,
especially in the past couple of years,
much more grounded, focused and centered.
And you are still stubborn,
but you are not as stubborn as you were.
- Oh, she's growing up.
- She's growing up, honey.
- [Maia] What's the dumbest fight we've ever had Cece?
- We've never had like a real fight.
We both don't like confrontation,
and we tend to keep keep it like to ourselves
until it like kind of bottles up and like
we'll be together and be like,
well this is how I feel
and well I feel like this way
And like, you haven't talked to me and it's like
but you haven't talked to me.
It's just simply that like, it's just like
we don't talk about it.
And then
- it's very Callie-Marianna honestly
- Very.
- We haven't done that in awhile though.
- We haven't
- [Cierra] What is a role you would dream-cast me in?
- Dude, I want to see you do a musical so bad.
You have to do a musical like
- Five, six, seven eight, eight. Yes.
- Oh, there it is.
Exactly what I meant or like a Disney Princess
I don't know.
You just need to do a musical immediately.
What about me?
- Okay. I was just watching 'I care a lot'
- I haven't seen yet.
- I need a role like that for you.
Something dramatic, like really dark
and twisted and she's like a con artist.
And like, I just want to see you be like that.
Like
- Be a con artist?
Yeah, she was cool, like
- I could do it
- Yeah, it was, it's a great movie you need to watch.
- [Maia] What something that only I know about you
that people would be surprised to learn?
- I think I can speak for the both of us
when I say something no one knows about us
that we love ASMR videos
(Laughter)
and pimple popping videos.
Like we went through a phase
where Maia got a follow from Dr. Pimple popper
and it was the highlight of our day.
- It was and then I got invited to an event
and I felt embarrassed so I didn't go
- Oh my goodness.
We fell asleep to ASMR videos,
- In the trailer
- whenever like we take a nap
- Cierra you've exposed us.
We've been exposed.
- [Cierra] When did you know
that we were going to be close friends
and not just co-stars?
- I think I always knew
that we were going to get along really well.
I think it wasn't until maybe like 2014.
We had a couple of mutual friends
and we like started to hang out like outside of work.
And we would like run into each other
at like events and like parties and stuff.
And then immediately it was just like very obvious.
We were inseparable maybe like a year into knowing you.
- Yeah. I agree.
- It didn't take long.
That was like, what?
Seven years ago?
- Woah,
- we're old.
- [Maia] What's a job that I would be good at
if I wasn't an actor?
I don't know.
I only see you as an actor.
- I know.
- We've both been experiencing what it's like
to executive produce for the first time.
I feel like I can definitely see you
on that side of the camera.
And I'd love to see you grow in that world.
And I see you directing, but I only see you in film.
It's wild.
- I mean every other job I've had I was terrible at
like in a movie theater, I was an usher at a movie theater
and got fired because I would get so stressed and anxious
- And you're still kind of in the movies.
- And then I washed dishes for like four years.
And I was also really bad at that
but it was my mom's friend's cafe.
They couldn't get rid of me.
So I was very slow.
- [Maia] What's the best advice I've ever given you?
- I mean, you're a little bit older than me.
Not, not by much, but I do look
at you as like an older sister.
I've learned a lot about self-worth
and self-love through you.
Sometimes It's not always what I want to hear,
but you know you definitely have taught me
like what I need to hear
and helped me realize what I deserve
and what my worth is.
- Yes.
Yes!
- [Cierra] What is your favorite Mariana moment
of all time or acting moment of mine?
Cause I didn't ask you.
- I mean, there's just so, so many.
Whenever Mariana is sad, my entire heart breaks.
It shatters into a million pieces.
I can't see Mariana upset.
So, I feel like in the fosters, there were a lot
of like real big old tear jerker, Mariana moments.
All of your storylines with Anna,
the birth mom, like flawless,
you're acting is like incredible.
Fun fact Sierra can choose which eye to cry out of
in an exact moment and do a single tear.
When you walk out of Evan's office
and it's slow motion and Mariana is finally like standing
up for herself and you know, her morals and her values
and like taking a stance like that is so powerful.
I love, I love seeing Mariana being, being a boss babe.
- [Cierra] what has been your proudest moment
of me as my stage mum?
- Stage mummy
I remember looking at you when we were at the premiere
of 'Good Trouble' season one,
and we watched it on like a big screen
then we had like a whole event.
And when it popped up,
like your name is as an executive producer
I will just never forget that feeling of how far.
we've both come and doing it together
and just remembering that the 17 year old
in the coffee shop with her dad waiting in the car outside.
Cause he was going to drive us to the next location.
Like from truly like so proud of how far you've come.
And also just like I said, seeing you on your music video
sets and seeing how much kind of power you have
in that space and how much agency you have and confidence.
Like I could not do what you do.
Like it's so vulnerable.
It's such a vulnerable thing.
And seeing you like owning it is just mind blowing.
- Well, I wouldn't want to do this journey with anyone,
but you.
- Me either, I love you.
- I love you too.
Okay. Now I'm going to cry.
- Stop, I'm like I miss you.
- Dude, I miss you too
(laughter)
