And we didn't see like natural bodies and like people who weren't looked like, you know, CW models.

It really did break people's brains.

But I remember being like, I've also had some bad dates because like I didn't know that that was like weird.

Yeah.

Which is a little bit of an overshare.

Yes.

Well, I also think, too, like, prior to Girls, it was Sex and the City, which was very graphic but also kind of wacky.

Like, Samantha would be, like, screaming and having, like, an opera scream while it cross-dissolved to Miranda, like, buying shoes or whatever.

And so...

This was like kind of the first time you saw that sort of like indie gritty.

And I think she talks about it in the book about casting Adam Driver.

And that he was this like very, very serious actor and that she had sort of seen herself as almost kind of lazy in her process.

And he sort of elevated her in his sort of being present, kind of lifted her up.

But that it was also the dynamic that sounded so crazy to me was I'm the director and writer and showrunner and you're an actor and I'm an actor.

But like then you're sort of kind of dehumanizing me, for lack of a better word, on screen because that's what the role calls for.

And I wrote it.

But you're sort of going off book.

And she talks in the book about the actual book about having like a sense of trust that after this first sex scene that they did, she had sort of tried to block it.

And in the book, she says, if Adam had been lackluster in rehearsal, now he was focused as if the sex scene were a mission that had to be completed with as much vigor as basic training.

As in his audition, when in character, Adam was a man possessed.
