00:00You can't go into this without, at least in my case,
00:02thinking that everyone and their cousin and their dentist
00:05and their neighbor is going to have an opinion
00:07about this particular person.
00:09But at some point, you just have to not really care about that.
00:14It didn't enter into my mind all that much,
00:17except that I knew that we would be sort of touching
00:22the third rail in making this movie.
00:24But in a way, that's a goal.
00:26The goal is to make work that touches the third rail.
00:30What felt at stake here was important enough,
00:33and the chance to work with Jeremy and Ollie exceeded that.
00:39And so that overpowered everything else for me, I think.
00:42I think we have to nurture empathy,
00:45and that's at stake now more than ever, it feels like.
00:47And the only way to do that is sometimes
00:50to confront it with its opposite.
00:53And we have to be aware of the things in the dark
00:55as much as we are of the things in the light.
