But I'm always down for the community at large being like, eh?

Which, that could happen.

But I don't think it has happened with this.

No, it hasn't.

Because you really did, you really struck a nerve.

And there's such an interesting visual quality to this special as well.

It's such an immersive experience.

It feels like we've been invited into your own whimsical world.

You have objects coming to life.

You have spilled wine that comes to life and a music box that comes to life.

What went into planning the visual aesthetic of the show?

Well, I love working with production designers and ours for this specialist, Tommaso Ortino, who I really love.

But we were talking about what should the set look like?

And I had my notebook and I was sketching ideas for what I thought the set should look like.

And then I took a step back and realized, oh wait, no, the set should look like a giant notebook.

So then I sent a picture of that and sent it to Tommaso and he was like,

so sorry, it should look like the drawings in the notebook?

I was like, no, it is the notebook.

And it does, it looks like a giant pop-up book.

Yeah, it's a big pop-up book that opens and I am sleeping inside of.
