If You Create Something That Is Asking For People To Respond As They're Going To Respond, You Have To Allow Them To Respond As They're Going To Respond.

I Think There Are Things That Aren't Represented In Movies That Are A Big Part Of Everyone's Life. We Romanticize Everything About People In Movies.

Sometimes It Became Exhausting, Especially Around The Eleventh Hour Of The Day.
