I would say there was probably more improvisation in this film than any I've done out of 50 films I've done.
I think I've never been involved in anything where the director said, these are the basic foundational things that probably need to happen in the scene, but let's just go riff it.
Olivia and I walking through the apartment, taking the tour and the paint swatches is an emblematic example because most, I don't think any of that was scripted really.
And definitely has one of my favorite lines of Olivia's in the whole film, like, you know, seeking renovation without change.
And I think, so yes, lots and lots of improvisation, I think.
Seth is one of the funniest one-liner machines that any of us know.
And Penelope is a brilliant... She'll get immersed in a thing and come out with stuff like smoking the joint and saying, I can't or I'll start counting things.
It was great fun in that sense.
But then I think there was another layer that was interesting, which was Olivia kind of...
she asked each of us to hold on to, you know, having almost like secrets that we could bring out on each other.
So quasi-scripted, but only by each of us, but we were allowed to bring them into the scene and get authentic reactions off of each other.
The thing I would kind of say overall is that...
Olivia created for the four of us a very singular experience in the sense of a space in which we could operate, in which there was nothing wrong that we could do.
She was prepared with her team to capture very beautifully anything that happened within the space.
So we had this enormous physical liberation
within the space, which is unusual.
And then I think an incredible, not just allowance for it, but enthusiasm for discovery and uncertainty about where things were going, which is anathema to most directors.
I think most people want to exert control to shape and sculpt
