extremely foreign genre good jump rarely service sign sit took understand
It took me awhile, to be honest, because this was so extremely foreign to me. I had never done anything in the genre and I didn't feel like an expert. So, it took me a while to sit with Karyn and understand how I was going to service this. I very rarely jump into something and go, 'Oh, my God, I know I have to do this.' And, that's usually a good sign for me.

good-friend thinking years
've had good friends who got married after they've been together for years and they've said that it was the "next step" for them. Or, they've said, "You just can't bail out anymore." And I've wondered, What made you think you could just bail out before [the wedding]? You don't invest that kind of time and energy with somebody and then just go, "All right, see you later."

constant implement night people searching sleep truth ugly
People said, 'Oh, you're doing another ugly movie,' ... I said, 'No, I'm doing another film about real people, and it's not about ugly vs. anything.' It's about searching for that constant truth, and I don't think I'll be able to sleep at night if I know I didn't search for that truth and implement it. I don't know how else to do it as an actor.

We'd have dinner with them. We'd bowl, we went snowmobiling and ice fishing. And they started trusting us. They really wanted us to tell the story right.
choice life situations smooth start surprise swim understand
We don't go through life with it all being smooth sailing. ... We all understand situations where you know it's swim or drown. It's a choice you have to make, and sometimes we surprise ourselves, when we actually make that choice and start swimming, with how well we can do it.
