- [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?
