When I'm in groups of people that are very happy, I think probably like a lot of people in the arts, you know, you go to these, like, parties because you're celebrated for your art thing, and you feel so out of place at these parties because you just see people happy and laughing, and you just think, like, the world is so much more miserable than you're behaving right now.

You're behaving like the day before Rome fell or something. Like, don't you know what's happening? And so I think a lot of people in the arts are sensitive people who, like, mine their own emotional lives to be in the arts.

And then, of course, the great irony is that then when they are succeeding in the arts, they're brought into all these worlds that were the thing that made them so uncomfortable that they got into the arts in the first place. And that's certainly...

One of the experiences I'm having now, because my movie is being celebrated and well-received, and I find myself in these places and amongst groups of people that were my impetus for making a movie about people struggling with their own trauma versus the Holocaust. So there's some kind of irony there, and it certainly sums up probably a lot of my inner life.

But even more than that, it was just being around adults. But being with adults who are all attracted to the arts, and especially when you're working on the community theater level, it's all people that feel outcast in every other part of the world. And that's why they're working, you know, after their job at AT&T during the day, they come and, you know, they have their outlet at night.

And just being around people like that was just amazing. so life-changing and affirming and made me realize, you know what, I think I'm going to be okay when I'm an adult. Because I could see all these people are more like me. They're not like the people I go to school with. These people are outcasts and weirdos and artists. And that just was like, it was, you know, life-changing.

Still. I mean, it's still amazing. Like, you know, when Kieran and I were working on A Real Pain together, like, we had this unbelievable, like, on-screen comfort with each other. Like... Because we were playing these two characters that were kind of like well-defined and we liked our roles. And so it felt like I was – it felt like I knew this person forever.
