00:00You voice Envy in this movie, and I feel like especially for teenagers today, it can be really easy to get caught up in that on social media.
00:07How did you think about that when voicing the role? And also for you, how do you deal with that and not comparing yourself and being envious?
00:13Is that something you feel like you're good at managing?
00:15Yeah, I mean, my mom was always good at helping me break down those feelings when I was a kid.
00:21I remember her just being like, why is it that you're envious? Like, what is it that you actually want?
00:26And I think when I was thinking about this character, I was kind of thinking about that.
00:30And I think a lot of that root emotion is actually like adoration, you know?
00:35And so trying to come from that place of positivity a little bit to kind of spin maybe the idea of the character on its head, kind of where I started.
00:43Definitely. And speaking of emotions, The Bear is a very emotional show.
00:46What are some emotions you can maybe tease that Sydney is going to feel in season three?
00:50A lot. Tune in. June 27th, yeah.
00:55Anything you can say you're excited for people to see or you have to keep it all under wraps?
00:58I'm excited for people to see the episode that I directed that's coming out, yeah.
