On complexity, visibility, and refusing to be defined
On first love, queer visibility, and the stories that carry us
On conversing through motion
On being funny before you’re fluent
On finding what she wants
On exploring worlds, leading with kindness, and kicking ass
on setting expectations
On unconventional approaches
On running point in her career, finding her voice, and honoring her heritage
On greed, power, and pushback
On finding understanding and advocating for change
On believing, belonging, and leading with compassion
On waiting in the wings and flying forward
On finding your way with others beside you
On keeping calm and finding comedy in the hardest moments
On foundations of science and faith
On carrying care across languages
On breaking barriers and becoming lifelines
On comebacks, community, and being a part of something big
On dancing with duality and defiance
On childhood imaginations and playing the morally gray
On satyr superheroes, loyalty, and friendships
On building character, tension, and storytelling
On love, vulnerability, and being believed in
On being unafraid of change
On two moving as one
On shapeshifting and selfhood
On boot camps, brotherhood, and being seen
On the legacy of connection
On representation opening up possibilities
On merging killer instincts with creativity
On embracing every side of yourself
On the power of trusting your instincts and learning to love yourself
On finding home in the hills and valleys
On laughing through the crazy
On scream queens, heritage, and family
On representation beyond stereotypes and being the underdog
On legacy, progress, and healing
On sisterhood and ohana
On strength, finding authenticity, and leading with kindness
On his liminal universe
On their JAM packed tour
On finding enough
On liberation through music and dance
On directing his debut film
