Having a baby dragged me, kicking and screaming, from the world of self-absorption.
The biggest thing I remember is that there was just no transition. You hit the ground diapering.
People often ask me, "What's the difference between couplehood and babyhood?" In a word? Moisture. Everything in my life is now more moist. Between your spittle, your diapers, your spit-up and drool, you got your baby food, your wipes, your formula, your leaky bottles, sweaty baby backs, and numerous other untraceable sources-all creating an ever-present moistness in my life, which heretofore was mainly dry.
I'm feeling very vindicated that, when I see the audiences laughing and being moved, we were right. This movie was worth making,
The day after I finished writing it, I literally called him the next morning and asked him if he'd please read this,
And he's like a laser beam. Somebody says, 'We'll probably shoot in 5 minutes.'
