One Night I Looked Down

My Aunt Had Given Me These Rosary Beads That Were Glow-in-the-dark. So All Of A Sudden I Look Down And They're Glowing, And I'm Looking Toward The Door And Thinking, "oh, My God, I Don't Want Anything To Come Though Here. I'm Not Worthy, I'm Not Ready." I Didn't Want To Be One Of Those Kids Who Sees Our Lady Of Fatima.

There Wasn't Space To Mood-up. I Think Rose Byrne Was Just Extraordinary. Talk About A Character That Could Be Really Unsympathetic At Times. She Just Jumped In These Scenes That Go From Anger To Hysteria To Crying To Laughing And Back To Anger. I Just Marveled.

Sometimes What Happens Is That, When You Micromanage Actors And Moments, It Just Doesn't Quite Live.

Everything's Serendipitous And There's No Way Of Knowing Who's Going To Get Sick Or Who's Going To Get Hit By A Bus Or Who's Going To Fall In Love And Who's Going To Get Pregnant. All The Things That Happen, It's Up For Grabs So It's Kind Of An Exercise In Surrender In A Way.

Any Time You Step Forward, Someone Gets Upset.
