Kaia is interviewed by award-winning playwright her friend Jeremy O. Harris {‘Daddy’ and ‘Slave Play’). Here’s taste of their dialogue.

Jeremy: I think it’s really fun you asked me to do this interview. Kaia: I really didn’t think you’d agree to it. I mean, you interviewed Rihanna recently.

Some great advice I once got was that the key to a long career is being a great dinner party guest. I pride myself on being the best.

Who’s been the most exciting person you’ve sat next to recently? Not even famous.
You! Honestly! It was amazing – you seemed to have such a different take on the world. You were really inspiring.

I’m really flattered! Because I was amazed by how down to earth you were, how kind and generous you were. What protected you from the perils of being born in the spotlight? It was my parents. Definitely. I give them full credit. They led by example. They taught me to think of a person as a person first, not their status.

So you’re telling me that you and your mom are besties now, but you took a little break? We’re back. We’re best friends. We just did a yoga retreat together!

I was so honoured that you came to see my play together. I told her, “It’s by Jeremy and it’s going to be controversial and there’s probably going to be nudity on stage, and like whatever.” But she was honestly the first person that I wanted to bring, and the only person really, because I knew she’d appreciate it. She loved it so much! We sat down for dinner after and we talked about it for hours. It affected us so much.

What other cultural things do you do together?
We just finished watching Euphoria together!

You did? Shut up. This is a very good interview between these two friends. Read on.
