Like someone throws you this ball, you're like 'I've got to hit this with the bat' and like not wanting to mess that up. And some days were harder than others, of course, but we had a great preparation period of about five or six weeks just talking at Mary's kitchen table and that really tethered us and grounded the performance."If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is shot by Christopher Messina, while Lucian Johnston is the editor.
