Maggie Gyllenhaal

But I think that was actually sort of part of just imagining, fantasizing.

It, like, allowed me to imagine it.

Yeah.

Four years ago.

I spent, I mean, you guys must know what I mean.

Like I sort of just was talking about this, like that feeling of like, you know, it's almost like when you're a kid and you're like, if I had this job, I would never speak to someone like this.

Or I would never make them twist themselves into a pretzel to get this tiny thing, like cut this line or whatever.

And so I guess I imagined it in that level.

Or even with writing, like I would,

chunks of dialogue or just kind of sneakily move a line.

But no, I think, I think really, I just kind of went, all right, I'm going to try this.

I'm going to, I did it, I wrote Lost Daughter also.

And, and, and each step I thought, okay, I'm just going to take this step and we'll see how it feels.

And then once I started doing it, I think I immediately just went,

this is a way better job for me.

Yeah.

It's funny.

I was so much scarier about making The Bride than I ever was about making The Lost Daughter.

I was scared.

I was.
