  • -And you came out, and you sat just the way you're sitting,

  • very nice. -Just here, in this seat.

  • -And we were talking, and I just gave you a compliment,

  • and then you said, "Before you continue..."

  • -"Before you even start the interview..."

  • -Yeah. -I just dove straight in with

  • "I love that Halloween candy thing that you do."

  • -And I said... -And there was just silence.

  • [ Laughter ] - I said,

  • "The Halloween candy thing, is that right?"

  • -You're like, "The candy corn thing?"

  • -Yeah, I thought -- -No.

  • -You go, "When you get kids, you trick them."

  • And I go, "That's Jimmy Kimmel." [ Laughter ]

  • You could tell that I was dying inside,

  • and you were like, "It's okay, honey.

  • If you want to go out and start again, we can do it again."

  • [ Laughter ] -Yeah, so I had leave

  • and re-enter, and then when you came and sat down,

  • You were beautiful in it, you sang great,

  • it was shot beautifully.

  • And I want to say, not that it really matters to anybody,

  • but I think it made like a billion dollars or something?

  • -It -- It... -Is that possible?

  • -It's crazy. I remember someone saying to me,

  • "We'd be so happy if this made, like, you know,

  • 600 or 500 or something,"

  • and it's been -- it's like, I can't even.

  • I'm just so grateful that people...

  • -That doesn't make any sense. -...loved it.

  • -Those numbers are crazy. -I know. It's crazy, crazy.

  • But this means that people loved the film, which is just --

  • which is just so awesome.

  • -I know. We could tell you put a lot of work into it.

  • -Yeah. [ Laughs ] [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -I read somewhere -- I read somewhere

  • that you had to go to like a princess boot camp

  • or something like that.

  • -I did. I did princess boot camp for three months.

  • -That sounds like fun, though. -It was fun.

  • I got to ride a horse, I got to learn to waltz,

  • So it was like, yeah. It was cool.

  • -Yeah, so now would you ever -- could you ever waltz now

  • or ballroom now if you...? -Uh, I mean, I could, like,

  • stumble my way through something reasonable, yeah.

  • -Okay. Maybe next time we'll do a ballroom dance.
