Richard in this situation? In hissituation? I mean, look, you
you don't choose to be with someonefor that long if you don't believe in

(01:56):
I'm saying is the woman likes thefact. Don't blame me, Okay,
So now we finally get films thatkind of like flip like the Machista ideologies
on its head and like really representour community in like an honest way,
like honoring the masculine and the feminine. And I think you really understood her
(02:19):
position and how she was positioned,and she understood that he couldn't exist without
her, and vice versa, likethey all they were meant to coexist and
to lift each other up. Youknow, she saw his greatness and I
think even deeper than seeing his greatness. She saw the greatness of her community,
you know, of of the Chicanosof Latinos, like she understood that
(02:40):
we were worth investing in as well. So yeah, No, a good
woman will tell you when you're whenyou're wrong, especially when you're wrong.

take no for an answer. Ithink the fact that I'm here occupying these
spaces with you beautiful people, thatwe get to commune together in such a
(03:45):
high level, high caliber type ofwork, like and I'm fearlessly doing it,

wow, this is gonna start comingup. People are gonna start doing the
(04:35):
digging. This is wild. We'vedone our research. Oh man, I
love that was a beautiful time inmy life. Yeah, you know what
I wasn't looking at I was.I looked like a little Boltha on that
show, and I was doing babblelike, ain't nobody business like? But
you know, look at you now. You know. I'm sure you've revisited
(04:57):
those times constantly. You seem likea person that's every day wakes up with
that. I guess gratitude on theirmind and just you know what I'm saying,
what goes to your mom when youwhen you think of that place in
time. I really love you forasking that question because I had someone else
recently like like, I just I'mI'm in the June issue of Vogue and
(05:18):
I'm with my homegirl. We're inMexico City or Vogue Mexico, right,
I'm I'm in Mexico City. Andshe's like, Mama, like, what
do you think? Like your youngerself would say, and I was like,
I knew it, Like I don'tthink I would be working this hard
and this long, Like I'm aveteran in the game realistically, I've been
(05:38):
doing this for twenty plus years,you know, And I love what I
do with every fiber of my being. I do not take a single second
for granted you said I have togo to bed at midnight and wake up
at four am for press A man, thank you God, I'm ready.
Let's do it. I might evenget the gym in beforehand, Like that's
right, you know. Yeah,Now you gotta find inspiration and fatigue.
(05:59):
That's for shore, you know,and you gotta you gotta see it.
You gotta believe it. You gottataste it when no one else can.
You feel me inspiration and fatigue.Thank you for that. I'm gonna use
that, No use it. Yeah, the bar's yours. Hey, how
are you doing it in your healingjourney? I know, I know you're
big on it. I think it'sconstant, and I think that it's not
(06:19):
linear, you know, like wego through the eb and flow even through
this process. You know, likeI'm from the hood, right, Like
I've gone through some shit. I'mraised by a single mom. I'm a
latchkey kid. Like we all haveour fair share of traumas and triumphs and
tribulations period. You feel me andwith all that, Like even in this
moment of these winds, what we'renot taught in, like winning, is
(06:44):
that sometimes our neural pathways are soconditioned to fucking up or wanting to fuck
up, because that's just what hashappened in in our existence. Like when
something good happens, usually somebody othersthat comes to knock it right out right
yep. And right now I'm insuch a state of bliss and joy and
win that I find my nervous systemtrying to regulate, like I had an
anxiety attack recently, Like I hada day off and I'm dicious, and
(07:09):
I'm like I did something wrong.Someone's mad at me, oh my god,
And I'm like, I'm a grownass woman. I pay my own
bills. My mama can't be madat me. And even if she is,
I'm gonna be like, Mama,chill, right. But I realized
my nervous system was so used tofalling in these grooves of being in trouble
because people didn't didn't couldn't take thetime to understand me. So I sat
over my sink. Literally, thiswas last week, y'all, and I'm
(07:30):
in the best time of my life, right, And I checked in with
myself. I was like, youdidn't do anything wrong. Oh, this
is overwhelmingly good. And when you'rein a state of survival, even good
feels like a prison because you don'tknow when it's gonna end. You're wanting
to hold onto it and control it. So I let myself cry a little.
(07:50):
I talked to God. I prayed. I was like, you know
what, God, do not donot make my winds be me, and
do not make my lows be me. Like I don't want to be defined
by either of it. I don'twant to be I don't want my relevance
to be what makes me feel good. And so I let it out and
I hugged little Annie and I waslike, you're good, mama, Let's
continueious girl. I feel like mostof the time, you know, like
(08:16):
you said, we're in the stateof survival mode that we forget to enjoy
what's happening right now and we can'treally appreciate it. You know, the
movie is getting such great reviews.How do you appreciate this moment right now?
What it feels like to me isthere's a large group of people that
(08:37):
are finally seeing themselves that never feltrepresented, you know, and that as
an artist, I think for allof us right as artists, as creatives,
what we do, that's all wecan freaking hope for. You don't
have to like what I do.You don't, you know, you don't
gotta love what I do. Butif you see yourself that's what's up.
Then that inspires you to go createyour own. Yeah, that's the fact.
(09:01):
You know. I've watched the trailerover and over with my son to
explain to him how important this is, how important this moment is, and
how important you are in the castare and even Longoria. And he's six
years old, you know, andI want to introduce him to that pride
as early as possible. And hesays to me, everybody's brown like us.
Dad, I'm like, absolutely,that's it. That's what I want
(09:22):
you to see. Everyone is brownlike us, and they're on that screen
and they're working extremely hard to entertainus. Oh man, that'd give me
me cry over here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry right now, you feel
me? Thank you? Right Ifwe had tequila right now, we'd all
(09:45):
be crying. Problem, man,I know you got your coffee, I
got my water. It's okay.We're keep at que right now. We're
gonna keep it cute. Hey,So working with my homegirl, even Longoria,
how was that? You know she'sa helfa all day right? Nah,
she's She's that one man that soso genuinely kind, like kind giving,
(10:16):
raw, sophisticated, skilled like youknow, not only is she talented
like innately, that woman is skilledlike she studies, she puts in the
hours. We had a press daya couple of weeks ago where it was
like I flew into Albuquerque. Wehad press until like nine thirty, ten
PM, and we had to flyout the next day at seven forty five
to go somewherew She goes, Okay, so what time are we going to
(10:37):
the gym, you guys? AndI was like, our flight our flight
lead, like our flight board,like not boards, leaves at seven forty
five. She's like six, Sowe'll be at the gym by like five.
I'll be at your hook. I'mgonna pick you up at four forty
five. This was ten pm.I was like and joyfully, like jovial.
So you know, we we sometimeswe look at these people with these
(11:00):
platforms that I walk around like it'sso effortless. And what I've found is
her mentality is like I don't everwant to act like I've been here,
like I do this, because thenthat's when you slack. Every day is
my first day, and I'm gonnahave fun all the time. I'm never
gonna complain. I'm never gonna sayI'm like feet hurt, I'm hungry,
I'm tired because I asked for this. And having a leader like that,
having a friend like that, havinga mentor like that, how could I
(11:24):
lose, Like she's helped shifting aculture and a generation. I think of
artists. Yeah, absolutely, youknow you sound and you've it feels as
if you prepared for what you prayedfor every day every day. I'm I
bow my head and I pray toGod and I am I am beyond grateful
(11:48):
for the blessings. And however theychoose to physically manage this right now,
it's this right, I get totalk to you, beautiful people. I
have a movie and maybe one dayit'll be something completely different. But either
way, I know that there issomething that's working at large, much bigger
than myself. So I give itall up, you know. Yeah,
(12:09):
he Annie, can you kill awhole bag of hot cheetos? Scanner?
I can kill three months? Now, you don't eat okay, listen,
she thinks from the waist down.Okay, so she can handle some cheetos.
Now here's the real question. Doyou eat hot cheetos with living and
though the or do you preferm withcheese? No, I'm I'm I'm a
lie Mong girl, Eli Mong girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep
(12:33):
it cute, you know, keepsometimes the cheese. But then after a
while, like they be honest,Now that now that you say, he
little papa, do you sometimes youhave cheetos with a fork? I'll stop
it. Don't let me, becauseI'll be honest, I'd be doing that
(12:54):
sometimes. Bro, he was sick. No, I like, I like
to keep a little hood every nowand then. You know what a little
cheetah fingers. I think it's cute. But luckily I got these long nails
or sometimes like like like my littlelittle chopsticks, like little chopsticks. Hey,
so you guys, um you knowthe uh this movie was filmed during
(13:16):
the pandemic. From what I understand, that had to be tough as well,
right, I mean, everybody's gettingtested every day. You hear this
person sick, this person's not feelingwell, stay away from that person.
That's you know, it's already hard. It's hard enough making a movie,
but during a pandemic has to feelimpossible. It really didn't. I Like,
yes, I understand. I thinkI already went in knowing that there
(13:37):
was gonna be because I had beforeit had shot um Flaming, I had
we had shot the second season ofDentified. I was kind of like used
to the whole rigamarole of like howit was gonna go And again, I
really think it starts from the top. If you have you know, your
boss who's complaining, then you're gonnawant to fall into that vibration and every
(13:58):
day be with her mask smiling.Okay, come oh, can't talk without
this thing, like just joyfully likeplaying and having a good time. So
it was like, yeah, whatever, this is, the obstacle is the
way right. Where there's a problem, there's a solution. So we just
had fun through it. Sure,your favorite scene from Flaming Hot, My
favorite scene one of the most funscenes to shoot, Um was Okay,
(14:22):
