"You and Ross livestream a lot, and show the two of you just doing mundane things. Is there a reason?"
"Well for starters, that's Ross that livestreams everything, not me," Hailee grins.
"You don't seem to mind it," he smirks.
Hailee nods, "I've kinda made a point of being up front with you guys. I know a lot of people avoid cameras, but... I want people to realise that just because my dad is really talented and happened to get recognised by someone with a lot of money, just because y'all seem to like seeing us on TV and on stage, that doesn't mean I'm some inhuman prodigy. I mean, I guess I could be considered a celebrity. Does that make me perfect? HECK no. I have to do chores, I have homework, I have days that I really don't care about what I wear, I have days that I don't have the energy to function, I struggle in classes, I get hurt, I screw things up... I'm a teenager for Chuck's sake. Just because I've got a fandom that has my back, doesn't mean I am exempt from the laws of I AM A HUMAN TEEN."
Hailee pauses then continues, "I want you guys to know that I am no better than you are. I'm not some deity to be worshipped. If I've had some sort of positive impact on your life, if for some reason you look up to me, that's amazing. But I just... I guess I want to normalise the fact that celebrities, celebrity kids... we're no better than you are. We may have skills and talents, but you, too, are amazing in your own very special way. So dear media, dear society, don't expect us to be perfect. Because we're not. We're human too."
Hailee lowers the mic and steps back, allowing Ross to take the next question.
