You started working with Jillian. Is there something that she kind of surprised you, caught you off guard when you finally got to meet her? I mean, I knew a lot about her, and I had read even her work. She's written books about sex and sexuality and is just like a deeply serious artist. And so I knew all of that. I think one thing that was really lovely to understand more as we began collaborating was her theater background and her passion for theater. And there's, because I think there is such a theatricality that she brings to this role. You can imagine her on stage, I think, watching her in this movie. I think she's been very hesitant to like return to genre after the X-Files. And I'm really happy that in this movie, which is obviously like her in a similarly horror, comedy, pop tenor maybe, that she is like bringing such deeply serious gravitas to the role and to the film that feels more akin to like the Royal Albert Hall or something than the multiplex.
