2:47 Yeah, Mom.
2:49 Yeah.
2:50 We're going to ask all these questions, yeah?
2:55 How did my first gig go?
2:56 I can't remember that far back.
2:58 I've been doing this for a while.
3:01 But I was I was probably extremely nervous.
3:04 And when you're nervous, you really don't know what you're doing.
3:06 You're like, "Ah, ah, ah." Yeah, you just, you know,
3:08 you're basically a robot trying to like go in and out of a real,
3:12 you know, emotion and anxiety.
3:13 So, I think if it was my first gig,
3:15 I peed my pants and just like hoping for the best.
3:18 That's typically me.
3:20 Should ask me how my last gig went.
3:27 How my recent gig went?
3:28 [music] Well, it went beautifully.
3:31 You know, when there's no anxiety there like
3:33 that, and you just understand [music] fundamentally that, you know,
3:37 you are in service of people [music] because it's not all about you.
3:42 It's about serving.
3:45 So, that was my last gig.
3:46 Hello.
3:48 No.
3:48 No.
3:50 Yes.
3:51 No.
3:52 Yes, this is it.
3:53 This is you.
3:54 This is you.
3:55 What do you want to know?
3:57 What's one song you wish you'd written?
4:00 Honestly, Fix You.
4:02 Lights will guide [singing] you home.
4:06 I will try to fix you.
4:09 I heard that song in an arena and there was just like I
4:12 think it was 30,000 people singing that with him and I was just like,
4:17 "Wow." The message, the melody,
4:19 everything is so great and everybody was connected collectively.
4:22 How about that?
4:24 So, for a moment I was jealous and then I just wasn't anymore.
4:27 I was just in a bliss.
4:31 Yeah.
4:31 Cool.
4:35 Okay, this works.
4:36 How do you choose your nail designs?
4:41 Well, it's very much about narrative when it comes to me.
4:45 This is not just a beauty thing.
4:47 So, I have crystal nails.
4:50 I use those when I feel like I just need to clear the the air a little bit,
4:54 move around, ding ding dong.
4:56 And then I wear these nails, which are steel, [music]
5:00 when um a warrior-like energy is supposed to be there.
5:04 See that?
5:05 It's like wearing 10 samurai knives.
5:09 It does change life a little bit.
5:11 You have to have people that you love and care about that could help you out.
5:15 There's a lot [music] of things you can't do with the nails.
5:17 Well, you could do that, but you just have to find creative ways to do it,
5:20 like, you know, opening a bottle, eating some candy.
5:23 Where would you most like to live?
5:26 I've always known this.
5:28 It needs to be up north.
5:29 I'm going to be this old lady, you know, architectural house.
5:33 Thank you very much.
5:33 It needs to be architectural, big windows,
5:36 up on a bloody mountain somewhere where there is just nature,
5:42 more nature, maybe some wild animals, and me.
5:47 And every now and then I down to, you know, 2 hours away.
5:50 Maybe there's a little city.
5:51 I say hi to somebody on the bar like, "Hi.
5:53 Bye." And then I just go back to my house for safety reasons.
5:56 Yeah, Iceland.
5:57 Yeah, okay.
5:59 I'm like my dog.
6:00 My dog is a uh he's a Jack Russell.

6:37 What is your greatest fear?
6:41 Now we're talking.
6:43 Well, my greatest fear of all fears is me not living my truth.
6:49 That would be my greatest fear.
6:51 To realize that I've actually bought into somebody else's idea of me.
6:56 But to know whether you live your truth or not,
6:58 you constantly have to ask yourself the question of is this really what I want?

7:08 You want me to ask it is.
7:10 Who is your real life hero?
7:19 [snorts] Every mother there is.
