Welcome to this special Talks at Google virtual event. My name is Michael Carney , and I am so excited to introduce today's guest, Nicole Quinn. For background on Nicole-- and Nicole is a general partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, where she focuses on consumer fintech and health investing.
And there were 700 and some to choose from. And they read-- John Carney , the show runner and director, read a lot of them, hundreds. Wow. And the other people read as they could, the Amazon Studio executives and the executive producers.
They were definitely happy to be chosen. Both John Carney and Anne Hathaway talked to her a lot because it was just something they didn't want to get wrong.
My name's Eva Noblezada, and I play Eurydice. My name's Reeve Carney , and I play Orpheus. Yay.
So we face that, and I use the expression-- it's an 18th century expression-- that "trust comes in on foot and goes out on horseback." And Mark Carney has rephrased it. "Trust comes in on foot and goes out in a Ferrari." Just think of those metaphors.
want to hear that again you know what I mean music I don't know sometimes I feel like music is a little little scary these days um oh Carney you're so conservative no I'm not I'm not conservative I'm just being honest I just feel like I I I mean I hate to say it someone's clapping I I mean slap me in the face or anywhere you would like to but I don't
And I guess the final thing I'll say is there are some very good signs outside the U.S. You know, Mark Carney gave what was a very well-received and I think important speech at the World Economic Forum this year. He said, you know, the global system has ruptured.
And I got to adapt it. And then, John Carney , the really great showrunner-- and for musical theater fans who wrote "Once" and who's just a fantastic talented person-- said to me, maybe you should direct it.
can't s pain I can't I know there's pain Carney why do you lock yourself up in those chairs got it hold on for one more song Carney I'm sorry I can't my toes are numb it's so it's really thick the heel is it's pathetic it's never going to change ever I like
goog God bless you guys thank you guys for sticking around for a little Q&A with us yay once again we have the wonderful Carney Wilson China Phillips and Wendy Wilson Wilson Phillips their career spans 20 years they're billboard chart topper Grammy
How do you all think about scale and really pushing that as fast as we can? I would probably clone our representative, Michael Carney .
irked Trump in an interesting way. So our prime minister did support the attack and I agreed with Prime Minister Carney on that point. That is distinct from contributing Canadian soldiers or sailors and air crew. I'm not proposing
How do you make that work? Well, the thing was that John Carney offered me a very unique experience to say like, you don't have to make this about you. You don't have to tell your story.
in pain every time we're in concert she takes off her shoes yeah every time you can't s pain I can't I know there's pain Carney why do you lock yourself up in those chairs got it hold on for one more song Carney I'm sorry I can't my toes are
Justin Trudeau was not going to win. Justin Trudeau steps down. They they pulled someone uh Mark Carney , very
was going to be shot like Rashomon style, which is one person's perspective and then another person's perspective. And it was a little heady and a little odd, but the producers and John Carney there were so kind to let me explore that and let me figure out, like, is that a good way to tell the story?
um her grace and and Beauty you know and strength as well and intelligence thank you yeah Wendy is this the first time you're going to be kind of a star on the TV show cuz I know Carney has had her talk show and then China was on Dancing With the Stars yes I was is this is this are you excited to be like a new a TV star
touch so many people with a message that you have like if you write a song and they can hear that message that you have B and we did that vocally so it's really cool show them hello you can go Carney
But around the world, that's not the case. In fact, I was called to testify three years ago before the Senate Budget Committee with Mark Carney and a Republican economist. All three of us said, you know, what we need to do is put a price on emissions.
it now becomes uh possible for private investment, not subsidized by government, no handouts for business, but private investment to unlock and unblock those resources. You're just saying there you don't want to get in the way of Mark Carney . Well, I I don't want to get in the way of of negotiations with a foreign country. I obviously my job is to to be
get out there and have a ball while we're doing it. I think we have a few minutes left here, and Michael has a great cube there for Q&A. And thanks to Michael Carney for helping to organize this.
