00:00I know you said you initially wrote this book for your mother, so what was the experience

00:04like watching this movie for the first time, knowing how personal it was to you?

00:09Well, I watched it for the first time sitting next to her, so that was extremely nerve-wracking

00:14going into it, hoping that she loved it, and she cried the whole way through it.

00:19You know, we hugged for a long time afterward.

00:21It was just a very full-circle moment.

00:24I know casting this movie as well, a lot of praise for Blake Lively in this role.

00:30What makes her the right choice to lead this film?

00:32Oh my gosh, she's just so talented, and such a woman's woman, and such a mother, and seeing

00:39her with her kids, and then in this role, it's such a good depiction of a mother loving

00:46her daughter, and so I just feel like from her own experiences and her own talent, there's

00:52no one that would have been more perfect.

00:54She's so good.

00:55I know this story obviously deals with a lot of heavy themes.

00:59Was there a particular scene that you discussed in depth that was hard to work through?

01:05Oh gosh, this whole movie is, you know, you want to walk the line very carefully.

01:11You don't want to do it wrong, and so I really appreciated how everyone on the set sought

01:18so much feedback, and were very open to anyone who would give their feedback, and also just

01:25reaching out to certain organizations.

01:27I know Justin did that quite a bit to get feedback and advice on the film and the script,

01:33and in the editing room, you know, just all of the care and love that went into those

01:38delicate scenes, like I couldn't have been happier with the hands that this movie landed

01:43in.

01:44I know the fans want to know, are we going to be getting an It Starts With Us movie?

01:49I hope so.

01:51Unfortunately, that's not up to me.

01:53They own those rights, so if they want to make it, I'm all for it.

01:56I hope so.

01:57Any dream cast for your next screen adaptation for Verity?

02:01Listen, we are discussing casting next week, and so I need to get on that, because right

02:07now they're all just blurs in my head, but I'm just so excited that one's starting to

02:13take off, and we've got the script done, and that one's going to be so much fun.
