Brian Taylor, director, just an absolute visual genius and one of the most free and unrestricted imaginations I've ever encountered as far as writing is concerned. And then another show for Showtime called United States with Tara. Not only because I liked my role, but like getting to work with people like Rosemary DeWitt and especially Toni Collette.

And watching them like at table reads, Toni Collette like cold reading the script and going into eight alternate personalities at the drop of a hat. And the whole table just like, the fuck are we seeing right now? those experiences to me really, really meant a lot.

And not just with her, with Colette Wolfe, plays my sister. She has one of the best scenes in the movie, I think, is between Colette Wolfe and Charlize.

What's the different angle I could go here? It makes it fun for me. It doesn't mean that I can just go, oh, here's the obvious joke. And I just love that. I love that those are the people that I've surrounded myself with.

He was like, the military was my way out of my situation, but I want to make it so that these guys don't have to do that.
