Your whole life is changed with that first child. Your social behaviors are all turned upside down, you're sleep deprived, but eight months in, my son had this seizure, and it just woke me up to the idea that, oh, no, this can end. And it can end in a way that will destroy you forever.

Most film productions, when they're based at a place, they get, like, a 30-mile radius or a 30-minute radius to get out of the town.
