Yeah.

Um, and I think because I was homeschooled until ninth grade, like, I showed up to the first day of ninth grade in, like, a plaid, the uniform, like, no one would really wear the plaid skirt that much.

I showed up in, like, the plaid skirt and I had a rolling backpack.

[laughs] Like-

Yeah.

But point being, I, it's very easy to get, like, down about that, and I, and I do think with this movie, what I liked about it is that at least when I watch it, it doesn't feel like a cynical take on relationships and dating.

Yeah.

I am ch- ch- ch- ch- ch- cherry bomb.

Kristen Stewart played Joan Jett.

She's one of my closest friends to this day.

Cherie Currie, she had a mic trick, which she had the microphone with the, the long cord, and she had a whole trick where she would swing it and wrap it around her leg and catch it in time to, like, sing this part of the song.

So I had to learn how to do that, had to learn all of these songs.

Cherie was there on set a lot.

Joan Jett was there a lot.

Uh-huh.

Did you have to deal with that too, or was it-

It slipped in a little bit?

But right towards the end, there was a scene we were doing together and I...

It was, like, this really hot room, and we were on this couch, and I was like, "Move your leg." And she was like, "My leg has been here all day." And I was like, "No, it hasn't.

Get off of me." Like, "I'm too hot." Like, "You're sweating on me." She was like, "You're sweating on me."

Uh, how do we set up what the, what the movie's about?

So, um, the movie is simply, it is kind of a love triangle between me and Jake Johnson and Corey Michael Smith.

Um, but it's kind of a reflection on relationships in today's day and age, and, like, the modern world of dating, and how complicated life is, and how, you know, love, how complicated love and relationships are.

And it's written and directed by Joe Swanberg.

Yeah

... kind of thing.

[smacks lips] So it came around, like, right at that, like, late summer moment, um, and all happened quite quickly.

And I was, I was in, like you said, because I, I just was such a fan of Sarah.

I admire her as an actor so much.

I've loved so many things that she's, she's been in and have only heard the greatest things about her personally.

And so I, I just was really excited by that opportunity and, um, and was like, "Yeah.

Yeah

... come back to Wildfire.

I do, yeah.

I, I do.

I remember it very, very well.

Um, got to work with two actors who had special needs in, in real life, Brad Silverman, who played one of Sean's friends, and another actor named Joe.

Um, and that, I think I didn't even realize how much that impacted me as a person until later on, you know, having that experience and, and having them included and a- as, as equal actors to everyone else and how much that brought to the movie.

It just...

Um, and what is the most valuable lesson that you've learned from each other?
