Transcript
00:00I know you sent Lady Gaga the script when it was about half done.
00:02Were you nervous, and what was her reaction when she first read it?
00:08I guess I was nervous like you would be with any actor when you go to an actor.
00:11She had a, I think we sent her half the script,
00:15and she texted me pretty quickly that she was really into it, that she loved it,
00:20and, I mean, everything you want to hear.
00:21And then I went out to her house, and we met about what it was going to be,
00:26you know, the rest of it, because we hadn't written it yet.
00:28Scott Silver and I are notoriously slow writers.
00:32And how did that inform the rest of the writing process of the movie?
00:34For me, it made it a lot easier, because it's always easier when you're writing for an actor.
00:39I don't know why.
00:40It's just something that, for me, it just helps.
00:44And could we see you write a standalone Harley movie for Lady Gaga?
00:49It's not really where this movie's headed for me.
00:51This is, I feel like, my time in the DC sort of universe was these two films.
00:59But it doesn't make any sense.
01:00I do hope that.
01:00So, we have a, for me, it works.
01:04So, we have an image.
01:04So, there's a list of the books.
01:05It's a list of the books.
01:06And I can go on, I'm going to look at them.
01:08And, let's see if it's done.
01:08And we're going to look at them.
01:09And I'm going to look at them.
01:09And then, okay.
01:10And then, first of all, it's been able to get a job.
01:11Swing and the person that's been trying to get them.
01:13I'm going to look at them.
01:14And then, in a couple of the titles of the titles.
01:15And I want to look at them.
