Jay Duplass

Everything that I stepped into and every time I came closer to this job and got to New York and met you and, you know, everything was just adding on to this feeling of like, wow, this is actually something. This show is actually about something. This is what you're supposed to be doing. It just, everything snowballed.

Well, I definitely had some judgment. You know, in the early days, you're reading the script and you're reading the story as an audience member would, and I have judgment and also laugh at him. Right, right. I mean, he's more of a laugh at versus a laugh with. You know what I mean?

There's a big difference, but I can still love people that I laugh at. I think for me too, it's just like the closer that I get to shooting the thing, it moves away from like this external judgment and the internal locus of like, Who is this guy and what is he trying to do? It's very easy for me to lock into a place where I love Michelle Williams and am trying to keep her alive.

It starts with love, you know, it starts with like loving someone deeply and, you know, connecting to that love and connecting to that deep desire of wanting to keep someone alive that you love. And then just like fully activating inside of the story, which is like the actions that he does to love her are super fucked up sometimes. But I love everything about it.

I love that like he's fucking good at it. He actually is fucking good at it. I mean, there's a good chance that she's alive because of... what a fucking nerd he is and how, you know, what a... Frankly, I know you're not supposed to use it, but he's kind of like a health Nazi. You know what I mean? And that's super funny, you know?

And my motivation in terms of like being super bold and pushy was very much based in this fucking works and I know what I'm talking about. And of course, that is completely disregarding her spirit and her sense of self and her sense of... joy with whatever years she has remaining, whether they are two or 20, you know? That's not... What?

Okay, I think we're still reeling from stage four of it all. Stop it.

Okay. So I was like just fully grounded in this like, I think very naive, but very believing place that like, I know how to keep this woman alive better than anybody here. And me, Jay Duplass, actually thinks he's right. He's right about this one little fact is that if everybody just did what Steve said...

Including Nikki, including Molly, including, you know, nurses who, you know, we all have had those experience where you have a nurse and you're just like, I'm sorry, but this nurse will not do.

Yeah, there's a ton of scenarios where we just hate Steve's guts the whole time. And I wanted everybody to hate Steve's guts and be crying for him at the same time because they understand that he so desperately is trying to keep his wife alive.
