At that time, you had a pretty incredible graduating class.

I mean, if you look at the success that everyone from that kind of era has had post-Disney, I think it says more about their ability to find talent that has legs, that has the potential for real adult success in addition to the success of the channel.

What I romanticize about it and what I think back on is those elements, the idea that there's this big company that can just make things happen and it's exciting when it does.

But also now being a part of –

A thing like a Camp Rock, for instance, is really incredible.

I think for a while, as I was trying to solidify myself as an adult performer and creative person, some of those things from our Disney past were embarrassing, like looking back at a yearbook would be for somebody.

Now, I'm just so proud to have been a part of something that had the global reach that that had or other projects we did with them.

And it isn't until you're, you know, you're grown and you've sort of, you're on the other side of that, that you can see that perspective.

And yeah, I just, I look at it and go, wow, those kids were fearless.

All of us.

And really had no formal training or, I mean, it shows in some cases.

But it's the best training ground there is.

I would say you're right to some degree, but I don't know, you sit and break bread with me or have a drink, you'll see pretty quickly that I like to have a laugh.

I am thoughtful in the way that I respond to questions and the things that come out of my mouth I know bear consequences or bear fruit, right?

There's good...

to be had there's also times that you say a thing you didn't mean to say or you make a joke that doesn't quite land right and you know you fall flat on your face and we've all had those moments two things can be true I can be the person I was as a team where I was given that label but I can also evolve and become this other sort of more dynamic person that I strive to be

Yeah, it's so true.

And there are times now, I feel like I watch back certain interviews that I've done in the past and I try not to be ultra critical of myself.

I am, we all are, I feel like, but I sort of have this yearbook that lives...

out in the world.
