I feel like sometimes at certain times in the world, the world needs certain things.  Needs certain things, right?  So, right now there is a lot of noise out there in the world.  There is a lot of downward pressure, there is a lot of judging and naming and blaming and shaming and there is all that going on.  There is a lot of good going on out there.  And what I feel what Moana represents is the good stuff.  And I feel that Moana 2, I told Bob Iger this, who is the Chairman of Disney, yesterday which is what we are finding and realizing is Moana is the movie that, does the movie need it?  Sure, depends on how you look at the world.  But the world is anticipating it and there is a real difference between needing something, wanting something, and anticipating it for it to come and that is what Moana is representing.  That is what we are feeling so it’s a very special thing." What is your trick though to stay mentally healthy?  You always seem so happy yet so busy. "So, what I like to do, when things get a little wobbly, my anchor is really back to family," said Johnson. "And it’s the simple core stuff like, I know it sounds silly and simple but hanging out with the babies and having a conversation or talking about something silly or grabbing them and say, 'let's go, let's go do this, let's go do that, let’s go fish, let's go for a walk, let's go do these things.'  It’s that kind of simple core thing.  And then what I will also do is Ill remember how things once were for me and so Hawaii for me always is home.  Early though in my life when I was in elementary school, middle school and in high school, things got tough here on the island so it represents struggle and resilience and that kind of thing."

The universe, God, man, people come right in, and they meet you halfway and they are right there."
