And so it was on this movie Adventureland. I took him aside and I said, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened. I think I had a panic attack. And I thought he was going to say, well, you know, we can't. I thought he was going to, you know, respond annoyed. And he said, I don't understand how you're not having a panic attack every scene. Like you're exposing yourself.

You're bringing your emotions. You're trying to not think about your own vanity. He is such a sweet man. And I just remember thinking, that's the way I want to think about actors forever, which is that they're already doing this difficult thing.

They're trying to live in the moment despite a hundred strangers standing around them. And so that was a key for me. He's just the best, isn't he?

Because to me, to have like a prescribed way of behaving because of a character and lines, I feel so comfortable. Like the thing that makes me nervous is like you go into a party and what am I say to this person? Do I remember this person? What did this person tell me? Why do I have to be funny in this thing? I just want to go home.
