- [Interviewer] Oh hey there.

- Hey.

- [Interviewer] I'm here to interview your daughter.

- Oh please come in she's right in there in here room.

- [Interviewer] All right, lets do it.

[guitar playing]

- Oh my God, hi.

- [Interviewer] I didn't mean to interrupt your practicing.

- Its all good, how are you?

- [Interviewer] I'm good, I'm so happy

to be here, 73 Questions. - I'm so excited to see you.

I've watched so many of these videos.

I can't believe you're here, this is so cool.

- [Interviewer] I've watched so many of your videos.

- Oh, thanks.

- [Interviewer] This is actually happening.

All right, let's do it. - This is happening.

- [Interviewer] So what are you playing right now?

- Oh, I was just playing some, just kinda,

just some core progression to see

if I can come up with any "Key well" song idea.

- [Interviewer] It's the next hit?

- I didn't really come up with anything good, but.

- [Interviewer] Okay, do you have to be

in a certain mood to write?

- I think there's just has to be some kind of inner storm.

You gotta be feeling something.

- [Interviewer] And what is the writing process like?

- Well, I usually have my laptop here

and I'll just kind of write a lyric.

Let's say I was like a, your lips are like pink flowers.

And I would write your lips

are like pink flowers lyrics

and then I would kind of,

I'll find like all my lyrics

'cause they're all saved under the lyric tag.

And so then I just have

a bunch of those ideas on my laptop.

- [Interviewer] Wow, going digitized.

- Going digitize and then I just kind of

try and find some core progression

that sounds like what I'm trying to say.

- [Interviewer] How do you know when a song is finished?

- You just know, it's like falling in love.

You just know when you love that person.

It's like you can feel when the puzzles

fit together and it's perfect

and you've captured everything,

you painted everything like a perfect picture.

And then you can tell when it's off

and you need to work more on it.

- [Interviewer] Do you get more attached

to some songs over others?

- Absolutely.

- [Interviewer] Which ones?

- On my last album, "First man."

- [Interviewer] Ooh.

- Yeah.

- [Interviewer] Now based on your tour

and your latest album, "Romance,"

you've been thinking a lot about romance, is that right?

- I've always been thinking a lot about romance.

Definitely a hopeless romantic, I love love.

- [Interviewer] Do you think you have to be in love

to write good love songs?

- Not necessarily, but I think when you're in love,

the detail that you get in the song is just,

you can't, nobody can make that up in their imagination.

The way the person's shirt smelled,

the expression on their face,

the way the sky looked that night.

It's like those details have to come from real life.

- [Interviewer] And speaking of romance,

what's the most romantic trait that a guy can have?

- Kindness, I'm a sucker for just a kind, good man.

- [Interviewer] And what's the most romantic thing

does ever done for you?

- A lady never tells.

- [Interviewer] You got away from that one.

So Camila obviously your songs are so personal.

- Yeah.

What's the most meaningful song?

- I definitely "First man" because it's a song

I wrote about my dad and I remember just crying,

writing it, picturing his face the whole day.

- [Interviewer] And speaking of that song,

I saw your performance at the Grammy's.

You killed it.

- Thanks.

- [Interviewer] And it was so special

to see you sing to your dad like that.

- Thanks, it felt really special.

- [Interviewer] Did he have any idea you were gonna do that?

- He didn't know until the day before

and he was so nervous.

We did the red carpet together

and he was like literally slapping

himself in the face, taking deep breaths.

My dad is, he is not like that.

So I was, I couldn't believe.

I was like, oh my God, he was so nervous.

My mom and dad are both really camera shy,

so I'm surprised my mom's doing this today.

- [Interviewer] How nervous were you before singing to him?

- I get so nervous before every Award show.

I get so nervous to after every performance

I get acid reflux so bad that I can't stand up.

But honestly when I saw him sitting there

I was like, man, nothing else here really matters

but me telling my dad how much I love him

in front of everybody.

I just, this is about him.

This isn't even about me or the Grammy's or anything.

- [Interviewer] Okay Camila, why don't you tell us

why we're here in the English countryside.

Tell the audience.

- Do you wanna know?

I am doing a musical

remake of Cinderella. - [Interviewer] Yes you are.

Do you actually wanna go out there

because it's really beautiful. - [Interviewer] Let's go.

So you're Cinderella.

Clearly you're excited.

How are you enjoying this?

- I'm honestly in love with it.

I've fallen in love with it.

Anybody that knows me knows my absolute dream

is to have to make an inspiration

playlist full of Disney songs to get ready for.

I mean, how amazing is that?

I wanna live in that world all the time.

- [Interviewer] Well, now that you're living in this world,

can you give me your best British accent?

- Ooh, I don't know, what do you think?

I mean, I feel like British people would say it's rubbish,

but I think I've watched maybe enough Harry Potter

to maybe slightly get away with it.

I don't know.

- [Interviewer] Regardless of what the Brits say,

I think that sounded amazing.

- Thank you.

Good thing I'm not doing a British accent

in the movie otherwise I would get in trouble.

- [Interviewer] Camila, can you tell me something

about you that people do not know.

- I can tell you three things,

I don't know why I'm still speaking in British accent.

I actually eat a banana with every single meal.

It doesn't matter what it is.

Doesn't matter if it's pasta, a sandwich,

rice and beans, scrambled eggs, pancakes, pizza,

eat bananas with everything.

I can only sleep with socks on

because I feel like the boogeyman

will lick my feet if not and I had a tick

in the third grade where I couldn't stop flaring

my nostrils and that I have never confessed publicly before.

- [Interviewer] We haven't noticed, don't worry.

- Oh well I don't do it anymore.

- [Interviewer] Okay can you tell me something

not about you that a lot of people don't know.

- I learned this today, horses sleep standing up.

- [Interviewer] Oh, that is so interesting.

- Crazy, right?

- [Interviewer] Okay, let's go outside.

- Let's go out there after you.

- [Interviewer] Thank you, what's your go-to drink order?

- Alcoholic or non alcoholic?

- [Interviewer] Either.

- Tequila, alcoholically and a non alcoholic,

honestly water and sometimes lemonade.

- [Interviewer] All right.

- I'm feeling crazy.

- [Interviewer] Okay, go-to dessert order?

- Chocolate cake, anything chocolate.

- [Interviewer] Podcasts or audio books?

- Audio books.

- [Interviewer] Instagram or TikTok?

- TikTok 'cause there's really funny videos on there.

- [Interviewer] Who's your music icon?

- Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince,

the undeniable obvious ones.

- [Interviewer] Do you remember the first song

you memorize all the lyrics to?

- "Cinderella" by The Cheetah Girls.

- [Interviewer] And who would you say

were your earliest inspirations?

- I was a huge Disney Channel fan,

so when we got cable TV after we didn't have cable TV,

I was like, Disney Channel is the greatest thing

ever in the entire world, which is and was,

but "Cheetah Girls, High School Musical,

Hannah Montana" is really the reason that I'm here.

I was in my own Disney channel movie

in my bathroom all the time.

- [Interviewer] We are getting super

countryside with bucolic ponds.

- It's really beautiful, right?

That plant is not real, I wish it was.

I got here and I was like, I'm pretty sure

I'm in Pandora in "Avatar"

but it is beautiful, right?

- [Interviewer] It is.

When did you know that you wanted to be a performer?

- Honestly, the day that I auditioned for "X Factor"

because before that, that was the first time

I ever really performed in front of a large group of people.

I was so shy, I didn't even perform in front

of my family before then and that was the first time

I was like, oh this is kinda cool.

I can do this without passing it out.

- [Interviewer] Didn't seem like that was your first time?

- Yeah.

- [Interviewer] What is the hardest part

about performing to a live audience?

- Working through nerves and making nerves

your friend and making them,

turning them into fuel has been something

that I've really learned to do the past few years

because I've definitely, like I told you,

I still get super, super nervous because I care

so much about it so really getting that under control.

- [Interviewer] How does the vibe of an audience

affect your performance?

- It's everything, I mean I feel

like I've performed in both extremes.

I've performed in front of an audience

that absolutely did not care about me

and in the beginning I was like,

but then you're like, you know what?

I'm gonna try and connect with everybody

here and just, and do my best.

But then when I'm performing for my fans on tour

that they're, I feel so much love from them.

And they were singing the lyrics

and they're crying and I'm, everybody here's my family

and we're all one and I love these people.

- [Interviewer] That's so sweet.

- It's the best euphoric.

- [Interviewer] What's the most memorable fan

interaction that you've ever had in your life?

- Recently, I was in a meet and greet

and I was talking to one of my fans, her name is Steph.

She was going through a really bad,

painful period of anxiety and actually

at the time I was going through

a really bad period of anxiety too.

And we were talking about it

and I just remember hugging her

and I was crying and we were,

I just felt really connected with her

and a few months later, she told me

that she was doing a lot better

and now I'm doing a lot better too

and just having an honest conversation about that.

I just felt it's like one of those moments
