...CC: There was one moment that we sort of found as we were shooting. I went to visit a friend of mine and saw that he had papers spread out all over his house, and he was trying to read while standing up, and I thought, “How great if David Aames, when he’s an indoor-bound guy, would have all these memos spread out, and he would just be walking, gaining strength as he’s looking at these words.” You had that bathrobe, and you were just kind...

But I was just getting together with my wife, and she has a big family of women—I have a lot of women in my family, but I hadn’t studied them as much as I did after I met Nancy. So I started to study how great women characters had been written, and what I found that it came down to was letting every character—not just the women characters—have their private moments, where...
