No secret love and basketball is my favorite movie of all time. And can you talk about whether or not you felt like you knew it was iconic when you were shooting it? It felt special to me because I got to beat up a boy. I loved auditioning. I've always been like low tomboy. For me as a kid, because I was like, what, 11, 12 years old when I filmed it. For me, that was the most exciting part. And then just to be on set and to see so many people who looked like me, I think that was the first time that I actually was looking at people behind the camera and seeing Gina. I think that was like a turning point of me like, oh, I'm a kid, best, like, wait a minute. Like, there's other stuff to do here. Right. You know? So that was I was excited just to punch on somebody.
