COLLIDER: How are you doing today?
SOFIA CARSON: I’m doing well, Steve.
This is not a matte painting behind me.
I’m in Brazil at CCXP.
The doors literally just opened, so it’s about to get crazy.
This is a huge Comic-Con, and a lot of people here collect things.

Is there anything that you collect or used to collect?
CARSON: I used to collect snow globes.
It felt so magical to me.

Do you still have your snowglobes?
CARSON: I don’t.
They’re probably at home.
You just reminded me of such a beautiful memory.
This is what I’m here for, and we’re done.
Have a great day.
So you recorded a bunch of music.
There are going to be people out there who’ve never heard anything.
If someone’s never heard your music, what’s the song you want them starting with and why?
What an excellent question, Steve.
I would want them to start with a song that I released this year called The Jokes On Me.
It’s probably my heart in a song, is what I would say.
Moon River was sung by Audrey Hepburn, who’s always been my idol.
So I would say then you’d listen to that one second.
This is my last curveball before we get into the movie.
CARSON: Wow, Steve, you really brought the questions!
To be in that world with Baz Luhrmann and Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor would have been a dream.
I would have played anything in that movie to be in that world.
True or false: did you take a role inCarry-Onso you could go through TSA much faster going forward?
CARSON: [Laughs] False.
With your and Taron’s relationship, you don’t get separated over some stupid thing.
You have a good relationship where you’re honest with each other.
CARSON: Thank you for saying that.
That’s one of the reasons I was so drawn to it.
It was so smartly written and the relationship was the heart of the storyline in so many ways.
Nora was the hope and heart of this film.
I loved that so much.
Even in the action sequences, it was so important to me to be able to tell that story.
We even rewrote the action sequences to see to it she could saveherselfin that moment.
That’s such a beautiful partnership, and I love to show it in a film.
Jason Bateman is so good in this.
That’s why it’s so entertaining.
Also, I really like the line: All you have to do is nothing.
What would you normally do?
What would you do in that situation?
CARSON: No, it’s brilliant.
All you have to do is nothing, but in doing nothing, you’re doing everything.
Whats Next For Sofia Carson?
You are in a few upcoming things that I want to ask you about.
One of which is Wagner Moura’sLast Night at the Lobster.
Have you started filming yet or when do you start filming?
CARSON: We haven’t yet.
Hopefully, at the beginning of next year.
I’m so excited for that film.
It’ll be different from anything that I’ve done before.
It’s an independent film.
Wagner Moura is so brilliant.
I’m excited to sink my teeth into that story.
There are two others I want to ask you about, which isMy Oxford YearandThe Life List.
What can you tease about both of those projects?
It’s a beautiful coming-of-age dramedy about a young girl who loses her mom suddenly.
Connie Britton plays my mom, and she’s just magic in it.
It was just the journey of a lifetime to tell that story.
My Oxford Year, I just finished filming in London and in Oxford.
It’s based on a beloved book of the same title.
I’m so excited to be able to share these with the world.
Carry-Onis on Netflix now.
