'Barbie' Oscar Nominees America Ferrera, Billie Eilish & Finneas In Conversation: TheWrap Screenings

[Music] I am Sharon Waxman I'm the editor-in chief of the rap and I'm your moderator today and it is my great pleasure to welcome three Oscar nominated talented people from this movie America Ferrera nominated for best supporting actress and please welcome Billy ish and Phineas both Oscar nominated for what was I made for best song at the Academy Awards welcome hi Barbies thanks for coming you guys it's so interesting to visit a movie this far into the Journey of its life right like it's been months and many hundreds of millions of dollars I just going to remind you guys um this movie's made $1.4 billion dollar at the global box office uh it's been streamed I did some math my math says that at about $11 a ticket 131 million people have seen this movie there was an exit poll they did last summer that said that 22% of the people who went to see Barbie had not been to the movie theater since the pandemic started it's so rare that there's something that you get to participate in that has such an impact on the world and um you never know that going in and you don't really probably even recognize it as it's going through its phenomenal success and then here you are kind of at the pathosis of the recognition of the film success and so you like just want to take a moment to appreciate what that what that means for you guys and what that means for the movie industry in general so America thank you for being here uh as I was just mentioning to you backstage um I first met you at the Sundance Film Festival two must be want to say 2002 yeah 22 years ago yeah okay but we look great yeah and I was 5 years old I think yeah you were five and I was like 15 it was crazy um she was s honestly she was 17 real women have curves uh debuted at that festival and here was this like this I mean just give me one second to say like it was this film that showed us a part of Los Angeles that we've never seen she was this young hispanic actress who was not not straight out of Central Casting either the way you looked or the you know the way you're shaped you had curves and it was so refreshing and it's been a thrill to follow your career since then and see all the things you've done Ugly Betty Superstore and now and now this so This Not only when you get this part and you know that Margot is the center of the film how is it that you think about the role and and what purpose you bring to it in sort of grounding it in the real human being who's kind of at the heart of this excuse me yeah thank you for all the amazing things you said and kind of um rattled off about the success of the film I mean you know I think that no one could have anticipated the way that it landed but watching it come together it was very much that the whole is somehow greater than the sum of its parts and to see you know from the very beginning to have a Visionary like Greta Gerwig writing it and directing it wrote it with her partner Noah bomach but and and then the talent of Margo and Ryan and all the incredible cast that came together but then to bring Mark Ronson in who brought on all these phenomenal it was just like the layers and layers and layers of talent and craft from our DP Rodrigo prto to our wardrobe and production design it was like everywhere you looked it was just you know it was just the a team and and and I think that you know I had never shockingly ever had dreams of being in a Barbie movie that was not where I saw my career going and um but knowing that it was Greta and knowing that it was Margot playing this character you I could see from page one the the depth of it that it was hilarious and I mean it couldn't tell how beautiful it was going to be but that it was unique from the beginning you're like this is the weirdest thing like what is this are they really going to let her make this movie but knowing Greta as as a filmmaker and knowing Margot as an actress realizing like oh this is working on all the levels it's it's funny and it's subversive but it isn't afraid to be full of heart and to say something and there was no fear in it there was no fear in any part of it it was like Greta was just there sort of encourage encouraging everyone to bring all of their weirdness and their full selves and to turn every role and song and set peace into their the the version of what they would want to be doing and so for me when I met Gloria I I had a moment independent from the actress being asked to play this role just as as a woman in the world as a as a as a mother I have two young children and um just the realization the kind of the realization that Gloria has in the movie when she goes like you came for me like when I read when I had that moment it was this movie is for us like it's about us we got to we get to be a part of it it gets to have a real flawed human woman's adult woman's perspective and experience be a part of it and so it felt so generous towards us but it also felt so generous towards so many many people like Ken's entire storyline didn't have to be there this could have just been something like railing on how fep patriarchy is but Greta like and it wouldn't be wrong but Greta gave Greta had the generosity and all you know to the audience to all of us to like give Ken this journey that also showed the other side of it that somehow Ryan Gosling like did the way Marlin Brando might play Ken I mean it's it's amazing and then to see Margo you know dip into playing Barbie a plastic doll with all the heart and all the depth you know I I can't even remember what your question was but everything who cares all all of it to say like from the beginning it was just like this is so weird and crazy and fun and not afraid of anything and what an amazing gift as an artist to be invited into something that isn't leading with like fear or leading to like copy or emulate you know something else but to say we're making something entirely new and we might all fail like there were moments where you're like we're out on a limb right now with this one and it could not work but it did work and I think the lesson is like you're not always going to come out the other side with Barbie but if you don't go out on that Limb and try to make something that feels and looks like nothing else you're sure is H not going to get to Barbie great answer don't know the question um so Billy and Phineas um I'm so excited I get to meet you because uh I've never gotten to meet you yet and I've been a huge admirer of your work since kind of burst onto the scene with such a big impact um I think there's an interesting backstory to what your family connection might be to Barbie and Mattel I wondered if you might start by sharing that um yeah hi guys um well our father who's like sitting right there raise your hand oh wow dad stand up say hi to everybody wow and Mom too hi Mom and my mom is sitting there too um our dad was a carpenter at Mattel when we were kids and we never never saw him like literally ever um but he uh yeah he worked like so Barbie's made out of wood what am I not getting here he was a carpenter he he built he built sets um uh at Mattel and you know he would leave at like 4 in the morning and come home late at night and um sometimes he would like I I thought it was really cool that he worked there because he um sometimes he would come home with scraps from Barbie sets that he would find in the garbage and so like in dumpsters sometimes he would like pull out like Barbies that had been thrown away or like pieces from sets there was this one thing that he gave to me maybe he shouldn't have been taking stuff but he was um but there was one thing I think it's okay now it was like an apple like a little plastic Apple that was like pink this like bright pink Apple and I just thought it was really cool and I have it still somewhere in my house but like a tiny Barbie sized apple no like an apple sized apple like a fake plastic one that was like part of some set um yeah yeah for for years that's that was it and um he you know one time found a an unopened Barbie like Holiday Barbie or something in like the garbage or something and I got that for Christmas it was awesome yeah so so Barbie like had a certain Mystique to you even if like Barbie's more like my era or maybe even older when it was like super cool CU you know there were other things that came in and kind of replaced it nothing honest to God nothing has replaced Barbie I really don't think it's ever been replaced I think there's been new things you know I think like you know I loved like Monster High dolls that was my [ __ ] but like Barbie was always Barbie it's kind of rare for for things to be so adored and and beloved and remain that way for generations and generations and generations because you know I I didn't know I had no idea Barbie was like an old thing I was like oh my god this is my favorite thing in the world and I loved all my Barbies and I I treated them like gold I loved Barbies so much and then my mom would talk about Barbies and her Barbies when she was a kid and I was like wow like this is such a this is a a a life long I don't even know it's really amazing the way that it has affected us all I think so so it came about that Greta reached out to you or you heard about the project and said we'd be interested did um yeah they'd wrapped principal photography um and I like everybody else had kind of seen like TMZ photos of Margo and Ryan on rollerblades at the beach and I'd been like damn okay um and uh you know we're huge fans of Greta and Noah and yeah one of our team members Paul was having a meeting um totally separate from us with enan at Mattel and enan at this point was like oh cries who's the CEO of right yeah and Enon was was exclaiming about how excited he was about Barbie and he was he told our our um T member Paul about like Mark is doing this soundtrack and it's going to be amazing and uh you know we the people that work with us Champion us and are great and he was like well you don't have a billy song and he was like could we get a billy song and he was like I'll call him so we got this call out of the blue of like do you want to maybe talk to Mark about doing something for the Barbie movie and I was like yes of course that's kind of crazy that come through the CEO of Mattel is not usually part of usually team I mean no for sure so we got really lucky and then we were put in touch with Mark and then Mark put us in touch with Greta pretty quickly um and she was very adamant that we see the movie if we were going to write anything which again like all of this like I I talk about this a lot but we feel like fans who snuck into the back of like the party um and so the idea that we were going to get to see some rough cut of the movie 6 months before we would otherwise get to see it was enough to us that we were like that's sick even if they don't want us to make a song that's awesome it was the first 40 minutes assembled and then several scenes America's amazing monologue the the now feel scene with Ruth I'm just Ken we got to see some really pivotal moments in the film you the you mean the dance scene yes oh wow yeah so we got to see these these things to kind of take home with us and be inspired by um and we just loved it we just loved the the film we were super moved by it um and we wrote the song that the next day yeah do you guys write together does one of you write the words one of you write it is really at this point you know we've been working together since I was 13 and Phineas was 17 those were our ages when we made a song called oceaniz and put that out and um amazing it's it's really 13 and 17 is ridiculous but um it's changed a lot over the years but um I think at this point it's very 5050 we are so um you know when we when we talk about a song we've written it's like hard to remember who wrote what because it's very um equally we're equally contributing I think at this point um which is really really fun it's really amazing I feel like um I mean you know I write on my own too and Phineas writes on his own but when we write together it's really honestly like nothing else and I can't really recreate it um it's really it's special and I think that when we're inspired like when we were you know the day after we saw barbie we were just like filled with you know I've said this a gazillion times but like we hadn't been creative at all and we were not coming up with anything and we just were completely like stumped we just had nothing not about Barbie like in general we were trying to make this album and we were like we have no ideas we're not good anymore this and that and you know saw barbie and 24 hours later we had been working that day and not coming up with anything and not being creative and I was like dude this is I'm going home this we're we should stop and then just Phineas was like well let's just take a crack at this Barbie thing and I remember being like bro what you think after this whole months of not creating anything and this whole day of sitting here for six hours and coming up with absolute garbage we're going to come up with a incredible Barbie song that's going to be like good enough for this movie like absolutely not and we wrote it in like under two hours yeah kind of amazing to you you saw the footage and you just went back to work work like your normal work you had a session and we're working on an album yeah and at the end of that you're like well let's try this it's just amazing yeah yeah Greta had said this thing when we were first speaking to her she said you know what are you working on right now and we said we're supposed to be working on Billy's next album and she said oh great well then this can be the way that you procrastinate and was awesome I think we felt we felt so daunted by how little progress we felt we were making on the album at the time time that I was like oh my God like we don't we don't need to procrastinate we can't even get the album going but she was completely right like it was such an she said she was like that's what I love when she was like when I'm working on a big project I love a little distraction to work on was really smart it's really true but because that's was going to be one of my questions I was going to ask you guys is that why you do movie scores because of course you wrote the song for James Bond time to die as well like what is appealing to you about that given that you have your own very strong creative voice that you put out there that is an expression of you know the inner you and just what you guys do together which is so special then you if you collaborate on something like a film like you've got all this other inputs and it's additive to the creative process for you to to work on something that really kind of belongs to somebody else because it's Greta Noah's Vision in a way right um well you know writing for something especially film TV whatever it is but but having a prompt having some sort of um guidelines something to write about is is my favorite game truly my favorite game like it's like I don't know there's something about it I think having like an I really like having an assignment I really like having like a challenge and a you know I I like having parameters rules rules kind of um and honestly it's hard for me to be vulnerable sometimes in in a lot of ways but in in also making writing music it's I've I've said this before but like I don't I don't find it easy Andor fun to write about my own feelings most of the time oh yeah and sometimes some people when they write songs really like writing about how they specifically feel and their experience and I have found that really difficult and challenging and I don't it's really hard for me because I guess I it's hard for me to understand how I'm feeling until later and so you know when I'm something that Phineas and I have done for our entire lives of of writing music is given ourselves a like something to write about like a fake story like a here what if we wrote a song from the perspective of somebody who's like a rock climber and they like need to get do the whatever it is like you can just come up with anything and then you know write about it and there's something about writing for somebody else that I love so much and I love putting myself in other people's shoes and well it might be easier in a way it's like a little scary well it's not vulnerable it's not very vulnerable well it's so interesting because you've also talked so much about how personal the song is well that's the other thing is that when we were making this song I wasn't thinking about myself I was thinking about Barbie and I was thinking about the movie and I was thinking about you know like there's footage of us writing the song and me you were thinking about me I thinking about you yeah well yeah du I mean literally I was I was thinking about your monologue and that was replaying over and over in my head and I was not thinking about myself at all and I there's footage of us writing that song and the whole time we're like well you know when like America says this and then like margot's doing this and okay so like if she not about myself not about me not about my life it's like Barbie can this that and then you know a couple days later I'm listening to it I'm playing it for a friend and I'm like who wrote this [ __ ] about my life cuz it wasn't me but then it was you know what I'm saying so yeah really weird cuz sometimes sometimes that happens your subconscious is there you know and um anyway blahy blah well if it's I mean I think that's it like if it's good it's honest and if it's honest then it's got to relate to Something Real mhm so um and what I love also about it especially in contrast to the other song is that it's it's literally the yin-yang of the movie right like one is this like fun you know funny you know energetic thing and then your song is so delicate and straight to the heart it feels like yeah so did you do like what was what were you thinking about I guess you're thinking about when you wrote it what were you thinking do or are you aware of what you're thinking about because I know that it it it feels like it brings the heart of the movie out the song itself when we saw Greta and we saw what she showed us of the movie she kind of you know she she was like you can you can make anything it doesn't matter anything you want to make it's it's all your F that's such a good imprison of her Greta is that you but like she wouldn't give us an answer right she was she so she being so generous she she's you know and she's like you don't have to make if you don't even want to make anything you don't even have to like just don't even worry but like it really does sound like if you could make something like and we were like girl shut the [ __ ] up and tell us what you want us to make tell us what you want us to make cuz we will make exactly what you want like I wanted her to be happy and that's all I wanted I was like girl like we're here for you don't be we all you guys can do whatever you want like okay sure but like tell us what you want cuz we want to make what you want and you know we eventually got her to be like okay okay okay if I could have any in an ideal world if I could have anything specific and you can do you can do anything you want but if I could have one thing it would be Barbie's heart song and I want her heart oh it makes me like choked up almost because it's like I just I just think about how I felt when I was watching that movie for the first time and and feeling her you know and and and feel you feel her heart you know you know her heart when you watch it and um you know we had replaying in our heads that scene where they're in the like white abyss and it's her and Ruth and she's crying and she takes her hands and she just says feel um and originally when we saw it it was it was only the shot of Margo crying there was no montage and there was no song and um we knew we wanted to make something for that scene and there was no world that it was going to be upbeat and happy there was just not even a world that was going to happen I that didn't need there wasn't they had that that was already there I'm not that's that's also not what I do y'all it's not what I do so uh yeah it was obvious what we were going to make I think immediately yeah pretty great you say that that you she wanted the heart song and I heard Mark Ronson say this on another panel which was that when they heard this song they string what was I made for the melody of it throughout and you'll see it starts popping up when Barbie starts having complicated feelings and it's sort of like it is her heart song sort of pulling her towards where she's going and they weaved their song back into the whole movie so cool I'm now Mark Ronson you're welcome and oh you're not you well okay let's talk talk America about the speech that you give that is the heart of the movie and that um is now going to basically make you the symbol of feminism for the next 40 years so hope you're comfortable with that um so let's just back it up a little bit what did you think when you read it and how did you prepare to completely naturally as if off the top of your head kind of come out with this I'll call it a Creed C like a cry of the heart of like what it's like to be a woman today that's connected with everybody yeah I mean it's it's so amazing I love hearing musicians talk about their process because it's it's just feels like such an alien thing but hearing you talk about it it's it is so much a similar thing of you get a story and a character that you get to step into and you get to see it through their very specifically written Journey but really you know what it is it's it's like different portals into like your own Journey your own feelings your own you know my version of that like I never played with Barbies growing up ever they um we couldn't afford them I didn't really feel like seen there was nothing accessible to me about the Barbie world and Barbie land um and so it just like was never really that part of my life but but for me what Barbie in this movie stands for and and this is what I think the true genius of Greta and Noah writing this script is that they didn't just make something up and make you care about it they took something that everybody has already has a feeling about whether you love it or hate it or have written it off or you think it has nothing to do with you they pulled off this magician trick of taking something that you think you knew how you felt about and then taking you on a journey where it's like it's not even about Barbie this is about us right and and and so not having feelings about Barbie my feeling of what was representative of Barbie is what is that thing as a child that made you feel like anything was possible that's what Barbie is to Gloria Gloria's very specific experience with Barbie is when I played with Barbies everything and anything was possible and now I'm a grown adult woman in the world and she lied to me because everything is not possible and I'm frustrated and I'm hitting dead ends and my daughter who I've poured everything into me is pulling away and my husband is my husband and all of the things and um and and so for her it was how do I get back to the feeling of anything is possible which is also at the core of your song right it's it's how do we get back to that thing of like oh yeah life and it's good and it's fun and it's passionate and maybe everything's not possible but we can try you know and for me as a child that was that was performance like that's where I was allowed to be everything you know my feelings weren't too big for anyone I could be all the things and and so I did think that the for me it was trying to find it reconcile like who is this woman who is both very real and flawed and frustrated and stuck in her life but somehow has the child has held on to has maintained the childlike Wonder of I can summon Barbie into the real world with my imagination you know and and that was such a joy and it's I think it says something that it felt weird to me to begin with because I think in real life I am that woman I'm silly and fun and have an imagination and full of wonder and I'm a serious business woman who a lot of people are afraid of and like and like yeah and we can be all of those things but kind of the way we're used to seeing ourselves projected back to ourselves is not someone who gets to be all those things you're in that box or you're in this box or you're the dorky best friend or you're the girl next door or you're the hot chick or you're the one the guy wants or the one the guy doesn't want right like we're used to just seeing ourselves in boxes and not as the whole human beings that we are and so for me um I get Gloria and Greta's names mixed up all the time um that's interesting yeah Gloria's journey in this is like finding her way back for herself and for all of Barbie land finding her way back to a place where she gets to be all the things she is and not surprisingly like I feel like that's been my personal Journey too and and the and the journey of making the Barbie movie in a deeply personal way has been a a journey of of getting to that place for myself too and where it's like oh I'm telling Gloria story but then somehow you're like oh it wasn't just Gloria's story it was my story too um so yeah I still I don't remember your question but that's my answer I talk in paragraphs I could leave I could just go sorry not sorry yeah no what I what I was asking when let's see I still want to know what it felt like to deliver the speech and of course it's clear when you read the I'm sure when you read the script when you see the movie that is what the movie is there for is to get to that moment and express that point of view was it um did you have to do a lot of takes did you H did you have to say it in front of the mirror a bunch like how did you prepare because it has to come off feeling like right straight from your heart like from your gut actually yeah we shot that scene for two days so I probably ended up saying that monologue top to bottom like I want to say around 50 times wow like Sasha who plays Ariana who plays Sasha my daughter she had memorized it at the end and she like said it back to me and I sobbed and she was really great in it and um well yeah I we shot it for 2 days but we had Greta and I had talked about it for months like we talked about every time there was something in the culture like this article or that story or this episode of TV or this oped everything that had to do with the monologue we would just share and relate to what's happening in the culture but also to what we've experienced as individual women and and and also you know I had 40 years experience of being a woman so that helped and then you know I think by the time we got to to doing it I had I had had all these months to deeply weave each of those lines so personally with my own experiences and and you know which helps because then you don't have to act or overact you get to just say the words and let the words kind of pull whatever thread it pulls and because we did it for so long gr that that that it was such a gift to have time time with the words and to have time with um letting each take take me wherever it was going to there were takes that ended in hysterical laughter takes that ended in Rage I think there was literally a take where I turned into a dragon and I just screamed and I'm glad I've never had to watch that take and you know it was just doing it and letting and and it was different and unique from every other day on set where Greta was very spe specific with what she wanted she had a very um like she she's a dancer and I think she's musical by nature and like the way she heard the dialogue was so specific in her head in a lot of ways very Musical and and Ryan always says that she was like always tuning us and that's right she would close her eyes and have us run the lines and then she'd she'd tune us she'd make us go faster or slower or slow it down or where the so it was always very specific and then when we got to this monologue the day of I was like oh how do you hear this and it was the only time on set that she said I don't know I want you to find it I want you to play and to find it and that was scary but also felt like so much faith that she had in me and I had so much faith in her and then we just laughed and cried for two days and did the monologue and I was very tired um at the end but also it felt personally cuz Artic and maybe this is too much information but I feel like in my own personal life like I had to live that monologue through my body and so there are times where I'll go to like look at the mirror and be like I haven't worked out in two days and then I'll just hear Gloria be like we already said the monologue we don't get to go back and do that and it's like she still lives in my head and is saying the monologue all the time so in a way it felt personally transformative wow so which which take of the 50 did she used I have no idea I never asked I think that it's I don't know you'll have to ask Greta how deep into the shoot was it it was at the end that was the other thing is like I'd been holding all this anticipation for months and months and I was just ready to go I'm like please let me just get this out so it was like a relief when it was done yeah did while you were discussing it did the monologue like shift evolve change or like it did yeah we added some stuff we we made things simplified like like the always be grateful line but never forget that the system is rigged so find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful that was something that that came out of our conversations the um you know it's like a catechism now you can just kind of I kind of can the you have to you know love being a mom but also don't talk about your kids all the damn time like that came out of a lot of our like there were yeah we we tweaked and played with it and personalized it and made it feel yeah it just kind of felt um by the time the words came out it was just so deeply I think um threaded throughout my personal experience I would take a couple questions if you guys are okay with that yeah Billy my 65-year-old mother has asked to please tell you that you were her number one artist on Spotify so good job uh so I'd like to touch upon something Finas that you mentioned that America also ties into your monologue I'm curious if as creatives or as people Phineas you mentioned still feeling like a fan who snuck in in the back for example do you ever still feel imposer syndrome at times and how do you work through that did you memorize that that was like totally perfect like or um you didn't I wish I was as eloquent as you just aming got right to it um thank you for that question and thank you to your your mother your grandma your mom cute um that's very sweet I don't h i don't have grandparents so I always hope that people whatever um yikes okay um you asked do I feel impostor syndrome LOL yeah um most of my life is spent feeling that way um it's very weird in my life it's very strange I even think you know our involvement in this movie like again we just feel like such fans and we've now gotten to go to these amazing things like the Globes and the critic's choice and like you know Barby or America or anyone will will win or be nominated and like it's like uh it I've described it as like not as similar to being fan of like a sports team where you're like we we won and like I did not kick the ball into the end zone um so again it's like but but my hope is that everybody that loves Barbie feels that way my hope is that everybody that loves anything feels like it's it's a Wei um but we do feel like we've gotten to join the we're like honorary members of the Barbie Entourage which yeah it's funny like being at the tables at like Awards shows and you know we're sitting with like America Margot BR Ryan Mark it's crazy I mean it feels very surreal and very um silly like I'm like you who let me in here I don't know it's just like it life is so insane and and I think that being being asked at all to be a part of this movie was so crazy and then being a part of it is amazing and and the cultural impact that this movie had on us all is is something that will will truly go down in like the history books and I'm I'm so honored and lucky to be a part of that I feel I feel so so grateful and you know when the song when the movie came out and every video I saw online line was like somebody's story of being a woman and being a person in the world and it was to my song I felt so I felt like one with the girls and I felt like one with the people and it felt really special and I I um I don't know I held that I hold that really close to my heart because it it really meant a lot to me and I feel endlessly grateful for that what about you do you feel imposter syndrome well I want to break this question down yeah you do thought about it talking about two different things I think what you guys are talking about I think everybody on this movie felt which was I feel so lucky to be here like I think I'm constantly like I can't believe I'm sitting next to Billy and always that's crazy and I think that that that excitement and that wonder and that Joy of like wow I get to be here and watch Rodrigo brto work like I get to I get to watch Margot and Ryan and and all of these incredible and Greta like I think that that's I don't think we should ever lose that I think like you said I think feeling you know that's the joy of like I got invited to the party and it's fun and and that's also what helps you you know kind of up your game and then play your best because they're playing their best and so I think that's one thing and I think it's great and it's positive I've started thinking of this thing that that what what what do we really mean when we say impostor syndrome and I would say my the the quick I don't give quick answers the quick answer to do I ever feel impostor syndrome is yes but I've come to think of it very differently because what impostor syndrome says to us is that you know you walk into a space and you and what you feel is I don't belong here everybody else belongs here and I don't belong here and I've come to think of the titling of it as impostor syndrome as like victim shaming where I'm like and now I'm giving myself like a disease that I have because you know not only do I not belong here but like I don't even I'm not I don't even feel like I belong here so I'm doing this the wrong way and you just shrink yourself you get smaller and smaller and smaller and what I and I don't really have the replacement so maybe one of you can think of what the replacement word is for impostor syndrome but I think the the difference of the way I look at it is like oh it's not my fault that I feel like I don't belong in this space everything for my whole life has told me I don't belong in this space so it's not really impostor syndrome it's appropriate reaction to what I've been told my whole life and whatever syndrome or whatever that is you know and because one makes me feel more shameful one makes me feel like [ __ ] I don't know what I'm doing and I feel really small around these Geniuses and no one knows it and they're going to find out and they're going to kick me out instead of all these smart people think I belong here and I've worked really hard and I am here and I've done the work why do I still feel like I don't belong here because I believe what I've been told and taught my whole life that I don't belong here so I just think we have to like for our own selves start thinking about it differently of like I feel strange in this space because I am a stranger in this space because a lot of us are the first people like us to be in these spaces and so in a way it's the most appropriate response you can have we're just calling it the wrong thing thank you so much America Billy Phineas congratulations again
