“Um … does it have to be a movie, can it be a show? Okay, I would pick … this is hard actually. Okay, I’d say ‘Fast and the Furious’ just ’cause of my love of cars … ‘Tokyo Drift’ [laughs]. It’s the best one, mainly because it’s based in Japan and Japan is the best place.”

“I would say ‘Aquaman.’ There was the girl [Mera] on there … I chose that movie ’cause I feel … I feel like it’s unique to be living … to live on land and underwater. I feel it’d be really [cool] if it was a real thing.”

“I would say … ‘The Little Mermaid,’ I guess [laughs]. I guess I could swim underwater, under the sea, you know. I like that, the musical aspect of it, too.”

“That’s a difficult question [laughs]. I think I’d live in the ‘Interstellar’ movie. Yeah, because it’s kind of catastrophic at first, but then there’s the father that has the possibility to save humanity and the whole world, [he] went on an interstellar journey. And I am really interested because I would like to take the same journey, exploring, and with the aim of doing something for humanity. I would be a bit worried [of the time warp], but it’s a kind of scientific … science that interests me.”

“Live in any movie? If anything, just off the top of my mind, I would live in ‘Moana,’ just because of how the whole nature scenery is and the whole aspect of culture in it, the Polynesian culture.”
