  Speaker 1: One, just being able to go to Pixar, growing up
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: with my dad working there. And then growing up with
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: people just like knowing the movie and kind of, yeah,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: just being a part of that world.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: When Monsters, Inc.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: First came out, my mom was, we were kind of
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: going to auditions and seeing if this was like the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: world I wanted to be in. We realized quickly that
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it was just full of a bunch of like moms
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: living vicariously through their little girls. I don't know, like
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: no shame. But, you know, we would go to these
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: auditions and it was just like not for us. And
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: so my parents pulled me out of it, which I'm
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: really happy they did that. So I think if I
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: stayed with it throughout my life, like that definitely would have,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: who knows how I would have ended up. I always
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: would say like the little amount of fame I have
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: now is sometimes too much, but it's still really cool.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It was a cool experience. And so growing up, I think,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: It was just always a part of me. So I'm
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: sure it affected me. I've thought about sometimes what would
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: have been like if I wasn't Boo. It's like hard
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to hard to think about. But overall, I wouldn't change it.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: No, that's really interesting when you said that even just
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a little bit is almost too much at times because
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I've wondered like, you know, recently watching like the Michael
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Jackson film that came out and just.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, I need to see that.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it. It's very controversial. I mean, you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you've probably seen that, but I, I actually really enjoyed it. And, um,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I was like seeing just the amount of fame he
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: had in the matter of a couple of years would be,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: it was just very overwhelming for me as a person
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to imagine having that much. Um, and just no privacy,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: no secret thoughts, like just impossible. Um, And so I
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: find that interesting when you're like, yeah, just a little
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: bit of fame can be too much at times. Is
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: it because, what is it about it you think? Is
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it because the fact that you, what is it about that? Like,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: do you have to feel like you have to live
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: up to something or that it's not, what is the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: little bit of fame that can get like hard to
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: handle at times that you mentioned?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think what you said of like feeling like
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you have to live up to something, that's a part
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of it. Um, you know, I was nowhere on the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: scale of Michael Jackson by any means. Like I wasn't
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: being followed around with my paparazzi or, you know, maybe
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: at first it was a little like taste of that. Um,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: but I think like, I don't know, growing up, I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: remember elementary school, some of my friends being like, oh,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: so-and-so only likes you cause you're the voice of boo
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: or like kind of not kind of navigating, like who's
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: your real friend or who just wants to say they're
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: friends with boo. You know, it's not the worst thing
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in the world, but I think, like, that was something
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that was kind of in my head a little growing up.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm not really recognized unless I, like, I'm at
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a Comic-Con. I'll be recognized there. Or if I'm at
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a Comic-Con, then, like, after going to dinner sometimes, like,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I'll run into people from the show and they'll recognize me.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: But there was, like, a couple times. I remember in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: college I was living on campus in the dorms and, like,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a few different times throughout the year. Random people would
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: knock on my door and ask if I was boo,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, how do you know where I live?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So it was nothing too drastic, but sometimes it's like, huh,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: this is weird. But nothing too bad.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: You don't regret at all the fact that you didn't
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: pursue more you're happy with?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm definitely happy because I couldn't imagine–
