Poehler discussed Joy's character and personal memories
In Inside Out 2, Poehler continues to infuse depth and humor into the character of Joy, navigating new emotional adventures in the mind of a now-teenage Riley. Reflecting on her own early experiences of joy, Poehler shared, "It probably was around candies or animals. When you're a kid, you really cultivate joy a lot... I think it was the simple things that gave me joy."
She also shared insights on dealing with anxiety
The sequel introduces new emotions to Riley's character, including 'anxiety.' Discussing her personal approach to handling anxiety, Poehler said, "Anxiety brings in a lot of emotions and everyone wishes for it to go away, but it can't... You just have to say hello to it." "Make some room for it and be like 'thank you for service' and then try to pull it away from the controls before it really makes you freeze."
