-: So here is this great notion of collaborative art, right?
Which is I will claim I wrote it,
but I didn't, right?
Like the truth is,
there's a scene there on the page
that we'll all figure out together
that Hollily will deliver beautifully.
And then Alex will get in there,
and take pieces from other places and platform.
And It is the thing that people fail to understand
when you get a good team,
it's the joy of everybody working together
to make a thing better.
And this as you can see by the list of names
that are part of the inception of this,
this show is that this is truly a joint effort.
And I think it really, really, really
I think it really deserves it.
-: There's certainly safety in numbers, right?
I mean...
(laughing)
I think I have such deep respect
and trust for each other's brains and points of view,
and this agreement never felt contentious.
It was always let's wrestle through
what is best for this show,
because we all recognize very clearly
that we were probably always one molecule away
from falling off a cliff.
And doing something just very wrong
given the expectations people have about it.
And Connolly and I worked together for a long time
and obviously we've been doing discovery
for several years and I had just a really intuitive feeling
about how grounded she would make this show,
and that this is that part of what this needed to feel
was so different from the other tracks,
in that it is terrestrial,
and it is so much about his psychology and his inner life
and the quiet tactile moments of his life.
And I think that,
when you have a collaboration
where your director and your writers and your star
are all facing in the same direction
and sort of bringing their A game
and best idea wins.
Let's just keep throwing out ideas like...
That for us I think is the
best recipe I know of full success.
