(knocking)

00:01.301 --> 00:02.435 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
- Come in.

00:02.435 --> 00:04.104 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
- Hi, five minutes.

00:04.104 --> 00:05.038 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
- Okay. I'm ready.

00:05.038 --> 00:06.906 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- Okay, perfect. Thank you.

00:06.906 --> 00:08.475 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- The role that I love the most

00:08.475 --> 00:09.409 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
that Rita's played?

00:09.409 --> 00:10.243 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Lydia.

00:11.845 --> 00:12.679 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
- Oh.

00:12.679 --> 00:13.513 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
(laughs)

00:13.513 --> 00:14.347 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Oh my gosh.

00:14.347 --> 00:15.582 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
- I love that character

00:15.582 --> 00:19.352 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because you get
every bit of her.

00:19.352 --> 00:20.553 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- Okay, here we go, guys.

00:20.553 --> 00:23.289 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
(crowd cheering)

00:27.527 --> 00:30.163 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- We were looking
for a grandmother,

00:30.163 --> 00:33.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the mother of a glorious
actress, Justina Machado.

00:33.733 --> 00:35.668 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
And there's only
one Rita Moreno.

00:35.668 --> 00:37.404 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
- Pobrecito, papito

00:37.404 --> 00:38.671 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
He was so sad

00:38.671 --> 00:40.840 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because he asked Chloe
out and she said no.

00:40.840 --> 00:43.676 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
But what did I tell you?

00:43.676 --> 00:45.712 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I said, "You keep trying."

00:45.712 --> 00:47.047 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
"Wear her down."

00:47.047 --> 00:48.815 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
(audience laughs)

00:48.815 --> 00:51.418 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
"Don't take no for an answer."

00:51.418 --> 00:53.920 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
(audience laughs)

00:53.920 --> 00:55.155 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
- Lydia is my mom.

00:55.155 --> 00:56.289 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
She is my mom.

00:56.289 --> 00:58.158 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
That is my mom's accent.

00:58.158 --> 01:01.461 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
But there's a big caveat here.

01:01.461 --> 01:04.330 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It's easy to fall
into caricature

01:04.330 --> 01:07.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
with her because she's so big.

01:07.033 --> 01:09.069 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
- It is never over.

01:11.371 --> 01:12.238 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
- But I'm big.

01:12.238 --> 01:14.140 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
I'm as big as you get.

01:14.140 --> 01:16.409 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I may be petite, but I am big.

01:16.409 --> 01:17.710 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
That's me.

01:17.710 --> 01:20.480 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
But you have to be so careful

01:20.480 --> 01:22.615 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
with a character like that.

01:22.615 --> 01:25.618 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- The stereotype comes from
how others tell our story.

01:25.618 --> 01:27.954 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I'm interested in how
we tell our story.

01:27.954 --> 01:30.423 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We're always-they're
going to tell our story

01:30.423 --> 01:31.257 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
however they're
going to tell it.

01:31.257 --> 01:33.960 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
And that's what it is.

01:33.960 --> 01:35.428 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
But when we tell our story,

01:35.428 --> 01:37.864 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
who are we choosing to
put up on that screen?

01:37.864 --> 01:39.299 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I think that's another
part of the conversation.

01:39.299 --> 01:41.801 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
