It was different. Talking to the actors is the thing I struggle with most as a director. And it's also because I'm an actor in the scenes and some actors just don't like to be directed by the other actors. Me and Olivia Wilde were talking about it. Me and Evan would kind of do like a good cop, bad cops thing. I would be in the scenes and be like, great, perfect.

I would have a hard time doing it alone. Having a partner makes it much easier, I think, in a lot of ways. Because they got to be a little suspicious. Like, how the fuck does he know what happened? He's inside the scene with me. A thing that would happen is the people I was in the scenes with could tell when I just was dropped out of it.

And that's something me and Evan talked a lot about. And that's something we actually learned a lot of improvisational comedy is it's a fine line between directing improv and just shutting people down. Sometimes we would let people go on these runs for 10 minutes where we're just like, this isn't going to be in the movie. But like they seem to really think it's funny.

I would stop early because I would just know like, oh, once this happens, it's going into a new zone. But that was something we were constantly navigating.
