00:00Somebody sent me the book before they started casting,

00:03and they said, like, read this.

00:05I think that you would kick ass at this.

00:08And I said, OK.

00:10So I read it, and it was just like bawling on my flight back

00:15from New York.

00:15And then I said, oh, Mac, I have to meet on this.

00:19Like, this is just so different.

00:22It was unlike any other queer romantic comedy

00:26that I've ever seen or heard about or read.

00:30And it just felt like there was way more depth.

00:32And there was so much more going on in the world

00:36than just the love story.

00:38Like, they were high-achieving people in this world.

00:42And you just were rooting for them and their future.

00:46And I just wanted to be a part of it.
