You were 16 years old, right, when the series started? I was, yes, 16. It just sounds like it was a big moment for you in understanding who you are and your taste.

Because you didn't go to formal school, of course, now you've lived the school of life like 10 times over, right? But do you feel any insecurity about that? Or does that ever come up for you where you're thinking about like, this is a bit of knowledge that maybe if I had gone to school, I would have known it? Oh, all the time.

Okay, because the director, Derek Cianfrance, he would have you guys just ad-lib in many instances. How would he do that? Give me an example. Yeah, he organized our chaos.
