The audience loves you.
Weve got to kill you.
Weve got to kill you off.
I remember telling my mom not to show up on set that day.

We definitely overshot that for sure.
But it was really quiet.

He showed up to help me get into the mindset and really talk me through it.
I remember getting the squib under my shirt.
