She's not horrible like we think... She's complicated. Yeah, she's... She's very dynamic, and she's surprising for a Disney character as well. Her name's Elsa, and she's... she's a young woman with these powers that when she gets emotional, she can make ice and snow and she almost really hurts her sister with these powers by accident, and so she's sequestered for her whole life by her parents. Yeah, I know. It's very sad. And so she compromises who she is for a very long time until finally circumstances arise where she can't anymore and although she has to sort of live the life alone, she at least finally becomes her truest self and owns who she is. It's a beautiful moment, and it gets punctuated with a terrific song. I was going to say. The songs are amazing. Which one was your favourite? Mine is my favourite! But then, Let It Go is an amazing song, but then I love Do You Want To Build a Snowman? and there's the one about summer, I think is amazing. Hilarious. Now, as you were saying, Elsa has these great kind of fears. What would you say in life... What would you say you're most scared of? Most scared of in life? Oh gosh... So many things. I mean, I guess in relation to Elsa, it's very similar. It's the idea of really letting go and showing all of who I am to the world. That's a scary thing that we all deal with, and I think especially women, you know, when we're powerful and we're strong women, we wrestle with the fact of letting that be and still being loved, and so I think I still struggle with that today. I love the fact that this film... It's a girl, women, killing it! Do you know what I mean? It's two awesome sisters doing it, and it's so great to you know, have this as the new Disney film. Two awesome women. It totally is. If you had a special power, what would you have? My answer lately has been somewhat melancholy because one of my closest friends is very sick so my answer would be to have the power to heal. Aw, that's so sweet. Actually Kristen told us you said that, and she said I'm going to steal it. And then when she said... Did she say hers was the power of persuasion? Then she changed it. She wanted to be a healer instead. And I thought hers was so cool. I was going to steal hers. That's funny. And if you were queen, what would be the first rule you'd make? Queen? Yeah. First rule I would make? Oh, that's a good question. Everyone has to learn the Beatles. Start learning all the songs from the Beatles catalogue when they're four years old. Yeah. Done. It just makes us better artists, better musicians, better human beings. Absolutely done. And lastly, so in the film, you have kind of the boy... You have Kristoff and you have got Hans. Have you ever gone for a Hans type character? My husband is a Hans looking character with a Kristoff inside, so I guess that's what I like. You have the best of both worlds. You got the nice guy and the looks too. And we should high five on that. Well done!
